Esp his dad...it broke my heart seeing him at the press conferencesPerhaps I'm naive, but I can't believe anyone would be that cruel to their family to fake their death like that.

I agree. As for whether Murdoch was guilty I'm still unsure, but the behaviour of the police was certainly suspicious at times (the officer taking the cable handcuffs into the jail for seemingly no reason).Perhaps I'm naive, but I can't believe anyone would be that cruel to their family to fake their death like that.
There are some very odd people in the police. 99.9% are honest and upright, but there are a few who have engaged in criminal activity like domestic violence, stalking (and I've had known people who have partner who are police and been in that situation) and/or do weird things. I hope that that wasn't in this case.I agree.

I don't think Lees was involved but her behaviour was certainly strange on several occasions.
Agreed it was a slow documentary they could have covered it in 90 mins!I watched this , it didnāt need to be on for four nights.
Iāve just finished watching them too. I am also perplexed. She seemed like an actress playing a character, it didnāt feel like she was genuine? I think she knows more than sheās let on, but I donāt know if she did it? I think Murdoch must have been involved somehow but the evidence doesnāt seem strong enough.I've finally finished watching this (whoever said it could have been covered in 90 mins was dead right!) but I am SO on the fence. I remember the case well as I'd done the same trip only a couple of years before and I've always thought it was a strange case but that they'd got the right man in the end. However, now a huge part of me thinks that Murdoch is was used as a scape goat. There are just so many discrepancies in the evidence against him from the DNA to the motive to the lack of evidence at the scene. Joanne Lees is also a strange fish - as I said earlier no-one knows how someone is going to react in the aftermath of an event like that but there is something very off about her. She's very cold, controlled, seemed bored by the whole process, seemed deliberately evasive, lied on oath, walked into court smiling at all the press. But but but what possible motive could she have had for killing him or being involved in his death? To be with Steph/Nick? Seems a bit extreme. And there was no evidence of her and Peter being anything other that occasional weed smokers (as lots of back packers are) so I don't think there's a drug angle. As I say, I'm completely perplexed!
Yes, he did say that. I think he was just concerned that maybe she was tied up in something that had got a bit bigger than she could have realised. It may have been a subtle hint not to dob anyone in, or she could be in grave danger. I think he was just a typical Aussie trucker; I didn't get any 'off' feeling about him.Iāve just finished watching them too. I am also perplexed.

Iām also convinced the lorry driver had something to do with it, why would he tell her to make sure sheās got a story straight (Iām positive I heard him say that)? If they were telling the truth, they wouldnāt need to get their story straight. He just seemed a strange character.
