​@@donnaengel6413 in Australia he should voluntarily provide his DNA, so that it can legally be considered as evidence. Of course, the police have made a lot of mistakes without a doubt, but I don't think it's him. The people who owned an escort agency (a married couple with Slavic names, I think Serbian) are much more powerful and very capable of erasing someone's life as if it never existed. And she resented them, acting like they were beneath her, making her own rules. She probably served as an example to the others.

[@-Reagan]

And he’s the only suspect who has scratches and a bite mark on his finger. He was the last one to see her. He had a history of violence, with other women, specifically prostitutes. Then, he was charged with raping the woman he was supposed to be caring for, threatening to kill her with a knife and stalking her, setting fire to her house and killing her. He always carried knives, according to people who knew him. He had a gambling addiction (and alcoholic) or why else would he go gambling with the only money he had, money from pawning his girlfriend’s instrument and then to spend it on a prostitute? I don’t believe for a second that he paid her. He killed her. I hope they catch him before he does it again. When they find her, I am willing to bet she won’t have that money on her. They should have done the first interview right. He never should have been free. Now, he’s committed two murders and still he walks free. Smh what a failure of the system. I’m not to the end of this doc, yet but I hope he is charged SOON.

The same reason law enforcement screws up or doesn't pursue aggressively in the US, Canada, the UK, virtually all countries in South America, etc etc. The only places with relatively few screw ups are the countries with really low crime, like the Scandinavian countries.

The supposed money the prime suspect claimed he paid Revelle was never found - neither the cash or the cheque. It's obvious he lied - he never paid her! Not hard to work out what happened. Emboldened by alcohol, with his girlfriend away he hired a prostitute for a home visit knowing he couldn't pay her. Revelle walked into that house like a lamb to the slaughter, he raped and then murdered her so she couldn't prosecute him. He had luck in successfully disposing of her body. He dumped her shoes and bag to fake an abduction by another man, and had that fake story about dropping her off in town ready when the police inevitably came knocking.

[@ParkAvenue34]

No. Because that just not credible.

​@@SoooObvious theres also the theory the other guy didn't hav the money to pay her.. but your comment makes sense too.. they didnt even mention coltons name..

These journalists are always leaving out details or following a script. I doubt they investigate anything outside of when they are shopping online with all that money they get paid. I am tired of doing research. Thanks for confirming what I expected. We live in unprecedented times and most people lack critical thinking and common sense. We are the type that are rare to find these days. I always ask questions that most ignore or don't wanna answer.

Tragisch, aber Revelle wollte ja den Rat ihrer Kollegin, dass sie aufpassen soll, nicht annehmen und meinte, sie wisse. was sie tue. Unverständlich, dass diese Frau nicht einen Nebenjob wählte, der anständig war. Sie verdiente offenbar mit dem Modeljob zu wenig (oder konnte mit mit dem Geld nicht umgehen). Richtig was zu lernen und echt zu arbeiten, dafür hatte Revelle wohl keine Lust. Lieber auf schnelle Art als Prostituierte Geld einnehmen, den Partner dazu noch zu betrügen - kein Verständnis dafür. Wenn sie nicht ihren Körper verkauft hätte, wäre sie noch am Leben. 1 Mio. für Hinweise zu ihrem Mord - und für die andere Frau, die mit dem Verdächtigen in einer Wohnung lebte, eine Frau, die viel Schweres durchgemacht hat und kein Leben auf dem Silbertablett hatte wie Revelle, wird keine Belohnung zur Lösung des Falls ausgesetzt. Sie war eben nicht so hübsch wie Revelle und hatte wohl auch keine liebenden Eltern. Das ist nicht gerecht, wie da Unterschiede gemacht werden und nur weil ein Girl perfekt aussieht, mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird zur Lösung des Falls als bei einer durchschnittlich attraktiven Frau.

[@someone3187]

Sie klingen etwas neidisch, ausserdem rechtfertigt nichts was Sie hier schreiben einen Mord.

[@Daria_Es]

​@@someone3187 Und SIE klingen in hohem Maße bildungsfern. Wie grundschlecht vom Charakter müssen Sie sein, wenn Sie einem Menschen unterstellen, er sei neidisch, im Zusammenhang mit einer Person, die umgebracht wurde und sich für Kohle prostituierte? Sie klingen exakt wie eine dumpfe AfD-Schwurblerin. Unsäglich, was Sie für einen bodenlosen Blödsinn von sich geben! Sie halten nichts von Gerechtigkeit, das ist klar und so haben Sie es sicher ihr ganzes, verpfuschtes Leben so gehalten. Ich hingegen verachte Ungerechtigkeit und Oberflächlichkeit, besonders wenn es um Opfer von Gewaltverbrechen geht. Es ist widerwärtig, dass man besonders attraktiven oder/und reichen Menschen bei einem Kriminalfall mehr nachtrauert und sich ins Zeug legt bei der Täterfassung als bei Normalos! Dass SIE mit ihrer mangelnden sozialen Intelligenz dies nicht nachvollziehen können, liegt in der Natur der Sache. Ich habe übrigens in keinem Wort angedeutet oder vermerkt, dass ich die Tat an Revelle rechtfertige, für sowas gibt es nie eine Rechtfertigung, auch nicht, wenn sich ein Opfer sehenden Auges in die Gefahr begeben hat, trotz Warnungen. Ich habe nicht so ein krankes Mindset wie Sie, dass ich einem Menschen unterstelle, er würde einen Mord (abgesehen aus der Defensive) rechtfertigen.

She would be in her 50’s. All those years she could have lived an amazing life. She could have been a super model. Had a fabulous career, Married, had children. If only. My heart goes out to her family. I will say to them she’s in heaven now. And we do see our loved ones again on day. This world on earth is not the end. So it’s important to look to the future. Live well here in earth but look for a future where we are reunited with our loved ones. LA

[@krissalouvae7513]

It's really sad that she didn't value herself. There has to be something wrong in someone's life/history to make them turn to pr*stitution by choice.

How/why does the government offer a million dollar reward ? Tax payers? What about all the other unsolved murders.

[@RLF1]

Amazing how many people do not do the right things by their associates, friends and loved ones. Thats partially why criminals get away with so much.

[@judibiggerstaff8054]

A million dollars? Hey, how about police doing their job instead.

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

Many Australian police actively work with criminals, especially in Sydney. It's an unfair aspect of Australian life.

A Coroner's speculative forensic conclusion means very little when the body hasn't been found, anyone who is missing for a certain length of time can be legally declared dead, for all intents and purposes, this is still a missing person's case...

[@28_skate_masturbate]

Why hasn't anyone told him how ridiculous that hat looks

[@Winter-aka-Winnie]

I feel like these people need to update their forensic training 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@raeelbakry5757]

I’m curious if the police ever looked for her remains. The documentary didn’t bring it up at all. The police realize that she’s dead - where’s her body? They never brought up a single theory about where her remains are.

[@IndianaMint]

American justice just seems better

[@kwikky22]

Have you heard about the innocence project? 50% of murd3rs go unsolved in the US compared to 10% in Australia.

[@kristiriley]

So I have a question.... is it not allowed in Australia to go & get DNA secretly from a person of interest or suspect in a case? Like, many cases in the US, if there is a POI, & they need to compare a DNA sample to one they have on file, they can go & do some recon & follow the perp, wait until they discard something of DNA quality, & the police will grab it. They then have it sent to the lab, tested, & if it of course matches, they get a judge to sign a warrant, to get that persons actual DNA sample the correct way. Meaning by buccal swab or by blood. So then they not only have the old fashioned, "we got it from his discarded cigarette butt," but they also have it from the person's actual mouth or blood, through court order. I'm genuinely curious as to why that was never mentioned at all in this. Or if it is just how Australia does things. That's all. Everywhere has different rules & regulations.

[@_Y.Not_]

That's a dangerous line of work.....and she had options. $1,000,000 reward, that's ridiculous, only going to bring the crazies out.
