I think you have lost the plot, now you are comparing organised international internet crime with some individual shouting defamatory content at someone on line. Yeah, because local and federal police will be used to hack into the Russian nuclear missile system to avert WW3. You are confusing some professional criminal with the average internet user who thinks hiding behind a VPN will save them. There is a big difference between someone using simple precautions and someone with active changing mechanisms of deceit. The silk road and many other international crime peddlers are not hiding behind a simple VPN, sitting at home shifting illegal parcels of drugs and people via eBay and Amazon from some office. BTW, some are that stupid and get caught, but that's not the point.

No mate. But you're speaking with someone who founded a company more than a decade ago who deals among other things with ipsec. I do this for a living mate.

Indeed. And your position is that out of those two, the Government is only interested in investigating the defamatory comments. Genuinely amusing.

Is that a fact? Because last time I checked, Silk Road remained online for years using nothing more than a VPN and TOR. Both widely available to the general public, both free. Indeed you can download chrome extensions for both and integrate them into your browser so grandma can use them. More to the point, millions of their users, just average people, used nothing more than the same and remained entirely anonymous until the hosts were compromised. For years.

Please tell me more about these 'active changing mechanisms of deceit'. Sounds fascinating, can't say I've come across them in my time developing platforms and security protocols for sensitive clients. Did you see them on CSI:Miami?

Threads served whatever purpose it ever had, surely. The guys charged and soon to be on trial. I won't be commenting about it publicly , and I'd be suprised if others wanted to either.

This has to be one of the greatest thread drifts ever!

Keep the thread open. It's rare we get an insight into minds most of us associate with, but put into a potential criminal context. There probably aren't many of us that haven't thought the checkie behind us is likely a serial killer (when they aren't clicking a pen) but whether Mr Accused, is, or isn't one, the game of chess in play right now is going to be a thriller to watch from the bleachers. Will the goodies get the baddie, or are the goodies the baddies?

There is a great podcast/TV story in this - and that's in no way to make light of the tragedy of the events. They've happened. Nothing can unturn that stone, but like following an accident investigation team IMHO this has all the hallmarks of a fascinating journey. Wherever it ends up, I trust and sincerely hope that legitimate justice will be done.

PS: Whoever posted Col Williams interview above - thank you. I had never heard of him previously. I debated the worth of iWatches for kids/teenagers, but I've kitted all mine out with them on the strength of that interview alone and shared it to their friends' parents as well.

PPS: Trudie Adams - A close Qantas relative, still unsolved.

Journalist John Silvester always has a very good perspective on these things.

Apologies for the duplicate post. John Silvester is quite well connected in VicPol, and this kind of story is right down his alley. His writing style is pleasingly accurate and engaging too and it would be worthwhile keeping a tab on him for any updates.

I appreciated that he wrote the story triple spaced so that anyone could easily read between the lines. Especially the information about the recovery of the remains.

If only Aviation in this country, had a journalist as good as John Silvester.

The daily mail article is a rehash of the Age article. I don't understand the relevance of the his facebook post about the Bunnings spit but then again social media and journalism are a perfect match.

An update in this case, from the Daily Fail. Take it for what it's worth.

What a relief. Potentially a bit quicker. Thought the weapon may have been a hunting knife.

Yes but the brickie probably has a wall or planter to put the body in.

Have you read the paper lately? Letting people out on bail under the presumption of innocence can just give them an opportunity to offend further. If the court has assessed there is clear evidence of a serious crime then why would we want them walking the street.
