I once knew a fellow who had grown up on a small island in Alaska. He told me there was one man in particular who lived there who was a real piece of work, just a miserable SOB. One day someone shot him and killed him in his home. The guy gave me to understand that everybody on the island knew it was his son but didn't feel that a prosecution would serve any useful purpose. The boy had enough problems. Can you imagin…
Reminds me of that famous story: ...the Eskimos have a word, kunlangeta, which means "his mind knows what to do but he does not do it." This is an abstract term for the breaking of many rules when awareness of the rules is not in question. It might be applied to a man who, for example, repeatedly lies and cheats and steals things and does not go hunting and, when the other men are out of the village, takes sexual adv…

Those statements are picked for journalism effect. Alone they sound suspicious. If surrounded by 20 minutes of conversation on the subject, they wouldn't seem out of place at all.
Innocent people typically dont talk like this. It does not mean that she did it, but it could indicate deception, like she knows more of what she is letting on. I couldn’t find other similar suspicious declarations from others, that is why i thought it was worth pointing out. The fact that the journalist chose to include these statements might indicate that the journalist thinks the same, that there is something wron…
Over the course of a conversation innocent people say all sorts of things that can be used to implicate them when taken out of context. That's one of the reasons anyone with more brain cells than you can count on one hand doesn't talk to cops in an even remotely adversarial context.

>Last time I drove through it was more like a pub, a service/gas station and a crystal/woo shop. I'm not sure why that combination is present in so many Australian towns.
The crystal/woo shop keeps the publican's wife out of his hair...

That is how criminal investigators catch many guilty people, that and body language combined with context.
And saying things like: they even searched my house 4 times, I couldn't have carried the body, they even searched my incinerator, they couldn't find anything, shows an excessive and unnecessary intention to persuade, typical of guilty people.
It could just be her baseline, as an overly justificative person raised in a certain way.
Each sentence in isolation by itself is not indicative of guilt, but these are red flags that indicate a direction where to dig deeper, as there could be some deception going on here.
of course the full interview text would be needed, we cant conclude anything based on a couple of loose sentences here and there.

I’m more amazed that a town of 11 people has a bar and a hotel. But also that so much drama exists in such small community.
That's because the town is on the Stuart Highway [1], the main road connecting Darwin with the rest of Australia. There's also very little other habitation in these parts, meaning any pitstop will get some passing traffic. Also, it's worth noting that in Australia, a "hotel" is a bar/pub that may or may not have accommodation. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Highway

Is that a typo? frater = brother, I assume you meant patricide?
