THE ALLISON BADEN CLAY CASE
Ive been sitting on this case since it began, however I feel now is the time to post the results of my investigation here.
I am expecting backlash and thats fair enough, I only ask that you consider ALL the details involved and distance your mind from the public outrage the case generated.
The reason for posting this here and now will be revealed in due course pending the outcome of an ongoing and very current case that is strikingly similar and in the same geographical region as the Baden Clay case.

Here are notes I took on the case that, to me made the whole affair seem a bit like a placation of the public outrage the case caused but based on a circumstantial case and supported only by the accused's plainly stupid change of story details. The defense plea change even seemed to have more tactical holes in it than swiss cheese.
The autopsy has got no cause of death but lists some pretty extensive post mortum predation by something that left no teeth marks?
Mrs Baden-Clay was reported missing by her husband on the morning of April 20 and her body was discovered 10 days later by a canoeist under the Kholo Creek Bridge.
Her body was found on May 1 in a creek bed at Anstead about 10 kilometers from the family's Brookfield home
"(Baden-Clay) gave evidence that he, his wife and their three daughters were at home on the night of April 19, 2012," it read.
"(Baden-Clay) said that he went to bed at about 10pm, leaving his wife in the living room; the next morning, she was not at home.
It was previously reported Mr Baden-Clay last saw his wife leave their home to go for a walk late on Thursday, April 19.
The screams
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-24/s ... wn/5545898
"Dr Flegg heard a 'female scream'
Dr Flegg also said on the night of April 19, 2012, he heard what he would describe as a female scream.
"I'm quite certain it was a female voice," he said.
"It was a single, reverse crescendo in volume, tapering off, and what I would describe as having an involuntary quality.
"[The scream] very strongly suggested a reduced level of consciousness."
Dr Flegg said he heard exactly the same sound about two to three minutes later.
He said he had no doubt about what he heard, but was not sure about how far away it was.
Dr Flegg said he was on the phone to Ms Heath when heard the scream, with his phone showing it to be 10:58pm.
"I said, 'did you hear that?'" he told the court.
Dr Flegg said he went out the front door to see if something was around his house.
"I heard nothing else that evening and that'd probably be the case most evenings," he said.
Under cross-examination, Dr Flegg said his house was at least one kilometre from the Baden-Clay home.
Dr Flegg told the court he "would be extremely surprised" if the noises he heard came from Baden-Clay home".
The car anomaly...
"... after the missing person's inquiry became a murder investigation, they narrowed the timeframe, suggesting one of the family cars, could have been on the move between 11.30pm on April 19 and 4am the following day"
But...
"Dr Flegg said he was on the phone to Ms Heath when heard the scream, with his phone showing it to be 10:58pm...Dr Flegg said he heard exactly the same sound about two to three minutes later.
Making the last reported scream to have accured at 11pm.
Thats a full thirty minutes before the reported movement of the family car still at the Baden Clay home.
Thats an anomaly and I would stipulate that this reported scream occured during the course of Allisons alleged night walk in the area.
"He said that his wife often went for an early morning walk. He said that after a period of time, he attempted to contact his wife, went driving around the suburb looking for her, and finally called 000 to report her missing.
"Following (Allison's) disappearance, injuries to (Baden-Clay's) right cheek were examined. He said he cut himself shaving. Three experts gave evidence that one set of scratches was most likely caused by fingernails."
The Crown argued at trial that the fingernail marks on the accuseds face were evidence of a struggle and that Baden-Clay was under a lot of pressure from his mistress and financial issues with his real estate business when he murdered his wife.
In truth the only evidence used to convict Baden Clay were circumstantial inconsistencies in his own version of events , that he lied or omitted certain facts concerning his wife’s death and was convicted of murder in the first degree due to fairly anomalous but minor scratches to his own face and a small amount of blood found in the victims car.
None the less there are hard facts contained in the autopsy report that do not address how Allison died or how her body came to be 14 meters down an embankment and placed exactly under the bridge structure in deep and thick mud obscured from view and undiscovered for over a week
How did her husband achieve that physics defying miracle of time and space with no vehicle?
The post mortem autopsy report notes the following circumstances.
It was difficult to observe the body because it was UNDER the bridge
The body was laying on an inclined sloped embankment
Access to the body was difficult
14 meters below the bridge and directly under the bridge.
Police had to winch down from the bridge to access its location.
Access to the body was difficult being in thick mud which was hard to walk in.
The body had to be winched out of its location by police
No obvious fractures were noted
There is plant material on the body and in the hair
Two gold rings were on the bodies left forth fingers being consistent with wedding
band and an engagement ring as a set.
The body came to be were it was found within a short period of time following death
The body was subject to post mortem predation but no bite marks were evident (?)
This predation removed much of the face, the neck, the central upper chest, the intermammary region, the left shoulder and upper arm. much of the right fore arm and hand, part of the left hand ,the left thigh, parts of the pubic region, the left thigh and both ankles, the left tibia was thus also exposed by predation. ( her body was torn up under the bridge?)
All of the finger nails of the right hand are detached with two of the left hand finger nails were detached. (seems to be a lot of damage to her nails for such a small set of scratches on his face)
There is no evidence of suffocation or drowning.
There are no injuries consistent with rapid water action.
There is no signs of sexual assault
The cranium and jaw show no signs of trauma.
CT scans show no fractures.
A small chip off one of the bodies teeth may or may not be recent.
Evidence of a subdural hemorrhage may be due to decomposition rather than trauma.
Cause of death is undetermined So somehow between 11pm when screams are heard in the area and 1130pm (police stated times the vehicle was used) that night. The accused is supposed to have killed Allison some distance from her home whilst she was walking, (screaming heard) then carried her body ten kilometers away on foot and then down a steep muddy embankment and placed almost precisely underneath the bridge span (she was not dropped from the bridge) where he tore her body up. Amazingly he managed to make his escape back up the embankment all the while carrying away no forensic traces of the thick river mud on his person?
Can you see why I would red flag this case?
I did in fact locate Baden Clays autopsy report today...

Its quite interesting and sobering to read it in comparison to this media release...
http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensl ... ztr66.html
I don't buy the husbands guilt based only on his testimony as to how he got certain scratches on his person and the fact that he admitted to having a domestic argument with his wife prior to here being killed.
I think he witnessed what happened and it was so strange that for him to bring it into evidence his sanity would be questioned.
And of course, as is the case for most weird deaths in Australian bushland....no coronial report is released to the public.
In time the answers will come as long as the public remains unsatisfied with official tranperancy.
AN EXPECTED SKEPTICAL RESPONSE SAMPLE

Paul McLeod's GLOBAL MONSTER so let me get this straight. You think he witnessed a Yowie kill his wife but he didn't want to say anything because his sanity would be called into question. If his sanity was called into question it would be a defense to a murder charge. So do you think he'd rather shut up and let them think he was sane, and a murderer, than to blame it on a Yowie and get off a murder charge due to insanity?
I'm not disputing the existence of Yowies as there are just so many reports of strange sightings by numerous people.
But I seriously am starting to question some of the things you are coming up with.
AFTER READING THE BRIEF

Paul McLeod's GLOBAL MONSTER thanks for taking the time to respond the way you have. The long winded reply needs no apologies. Shows me that you believe in what you're doing and follow your convictions and I truly respect that. I read the autopsy report and thought that because of the lack of any injury to bones, and only soft tissue, that there was little chance of her having been killed by a large creature though. And Kholo Creek is tidal so the body could've floated to where it was found. Of course these are my assumptions from what I've read and I don't profess to know. Either way though, you have definitely presented some interesting points and looked far more deeply into this case than most others.
