I suppose it depends on the terrain, but I'd agree. Another possibility is that something in the behavior of the townsfolk during questioning does not suggest, to the police, actual ignorance of what happened. Which wouldn't mean the police are necessarily correct, of course.
Yeah looking at what photos there are the terrain there is pretty open and you'd think you'd find someone, but "rules out" just sorta doesn't sit well with me there.
It's "impenetrable head high thick scrub" according to the article, which makes it sound like the kind of place a body could be hidden trivially. But that might just be nonsense - I don't believe the Australian desert can support impenetrable anything.

#74This obviously made news here in Australia as well, and it has qualities which I think anyone who has read 'hillbilly elegy' can relate to: in small communities, sometimes there is a cone of silence which is really strong, and quite at odds with what we think of as "the law" Obviously, people know things. But, as a small community, there is a 'hang together, or hang separately' quality here. They are very isolated, a…
>in small communities, sometimes there is a cone of silence which is really strong, and quite at odds with what we think of as "the law" Really? I got the opposite impression from the article. Everyone is happy to talk about who they think did it, and everyone has their own theory.

After something got public. Small communities have things non-public for decades or forever as well.

Yeah I decided idyllic English villages aren't for me, after watching Hot Fuzz and Midsomer Murders.
recommend any other such films? I'm all over that small town lawless stuff
Hot Fuzz, U-Turn, Dogville (others already mentioned them).
Deliverance (of course)
The Lottery ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116924/ tv movie, based on a great short story)
The Wicker Man
Twin Peaks
Cold in July

In Galicia (NW region of Spain) there is a TV series called "Serramoura" which elevates this to ridiculous levels. The series is supposed to take place in a very small town (maybe 20 people or so) but the series' death toll is probably like 50 by now (they are in season 8). At the beginning I think there were only sawmill enterprise conflicts for land, but now the viewers have seen arms trafficking, drugs trafficking, Russian mafias, mass kidnapping... and probably more (I don't even watch it, this is what I have picked up just from looking at parts of chapters from time to time).
When I see my partner watching it casually, I always joke that I don't understand how there are still survivors in Serramoura and how people still go live there, it would probably be less dangerous to go to a city in war.
I wouldn't exactly "recommend" the series and don't even know if it has been translated to any other languages than Galician, but just wanted to share because I find it funny.

That stood out for me too.
There is no such thing as impenetrable in an area that dry. Confirmed by the pictures.

I hope you're not assuming Midsomer Murders bears much resemblance to real life. :) (Source: until a couple of years ago, we lived in one of the Oxfordshire locations where it frequently films.)

Unlike Hot Fuzz, which is basically a documentary.

#79these statements are suspicious:
“Imagine me carrying a dog and a body, I mean come on,” Ms. Hodgetts said.
An inocent person typically just says “i didnt do it”, but this attempt at providing justification is suspicious.
She could have an accomplice that helped her carry the body and know a lot about it.
“I’ve had me septic done, me incinerators searched, me house done four times”
Incineration would be a way to make the bodies dissapear in the middle of the countryside, but its the woods they could be buried anywhere.
Again she is providing way too much detail and justifications, its like she knows something.
“Nobody found anything” - suggesting that there was something to be found.

You have very wrong assumptions about a innocent person. Some people are just naturally awkward. Some even try to play detective and pretend to compare themselves to the killer.
