I have read some interesting books on this case, we need to remember that this is the same state who was sure Lindy killed her daughter, they locked up a scumbag, just might not be for the crime he was accused of. There was some fairly strong evidence that mr Falconio wanted to disappear. I find the facts of the girlfriend climbing from canopy to cab of a Nissan patrol, hiding in the bushes whimpering, tied up with cable ties, smelling of fear not being found by a dog to be dodgy.
blackfellas who were brought in 24 to 48 hrs after the crime were perplexed by no bugs were interested in the blood on the road. In his job Peter had been searching for how much blood has to be found to be determined dead, prior to coming to Australia. There was also a poor bugger who sighted him at a servo a long way from the crime scene after the fact in the company of a man, not in distress and was well and truly in shock when he seen a news story about the same man afterwards.
don’t think we will ever find out what truly happened unless he turns up on his deathbed one day and admits it.
