This is a very infamous case in Australia and Netflix have scooped it up. All you need to know is in Australia if you want to get away with Murder do it in the outback. It has a long history of very dodgy Police work and it seems life is pretty cheap in the top end. It's the sort of town Stephen King could layer a story over. Tiny isolated town loaded with misfits who seem to hate each other. It's as if Larrima is a magnet for people who want to fall off the radar. A weird style of alcohol enhanced de-evolution has set up there.

[@h0rriphic]

Your description of the outback remind me quite a bit of some of the sketchy, desert towns in the more desolate, isolated areas in the US state of New Mexico. Unfortunately, a lot of the police out there are crooked thugs themselves. Tons of unseemly, murder-y nonsense going down over there.

[@gossamer9966]

Yeah there's no mention of police even investigating Owen's car, if that's the case then very sloppy indeed. I haven't watched the documentary yet but it sounds interesting.

As a born and bred Territorian I do remember meeting Paddy in the late 90’s before the big floods in Katherine N.T. He was a friendly, pleasant sort of bloke when sober but turned into an obnoxious individual once he started drinking. No surprise how he could piss people off especially in a small community like Larrimah. His body might turn up one day but the N.T. is a big, mostly uninhabited place with lots of unsolved mysteries.

[@TheKrispyfort]

Definitely do not move to The New England area. Barnaby Joyce. Need I say more?

[@IB-1963]

@@TheKrispyfort The New England area of NSW is hardly remote. For a NSW example I would say Goodooga - it was voted the most boring town in Australia two years in a row. I was there in 1985 for a few months. Now that made one 'stir crazy'

[@TrumpAndKamila]

@@IB-1963my family used to own a farm there years ago called Bre Gardens I think bye the river . It reminded me of Papua New Guinea with everything at the local shop stored behind bars

[@IB-1963]

@@TrumpAndKamila I did not know the area well enough to recall "Bre Gardens" - I was there in Goodooga for a few months as a young Constable to replace the two local Police Officers who were removed "overnight" because they had a monumental falling out. The head station was then Walgett (140 kms to the South) and I was directed to go up until full time replacements were recruited. I would hazard a guess that "Bre Gardens" was likely named after the area - the next nearest town to the West is "Brewarrina" seems a bit coincidental. Lots of things were named "Bre" even the local football team. I have never been to Papua but I understand what you say about "behind bars" - Walgett in fact was the worst example of this feature - not a single pane of glass in the whole commercial main street did not have steel mesh covering the glass. I do remember that I went shooting on a property just over the border in Queensland - the township of Hebel - I was invited there by a man named "Army" - I am six foot two and he made me look like a midget. I was glad to make his acquaintance just in case I needed to call upon him for help in the township of Goodgooga given that I was one out. There was in fact a riot there during my time when a funeral was delayed for a Shillingsworth when the funeral hearse was turned back on the Brewarrina to Goodooga unsealed black dirt road because it rained. Ask your family members about how easily it was to get bogged on wet black dirt roads. Anyway, the funeral was delayed 3 days and those who had come from all over NSW and QLD got on the drink and rioted when the publican went to close the Hotel early because it was all getting out of hand. Geez that has triggered a few memories for me. I survived all that and more and recently turned 60. My thoughts now turn to those unlucky Queensland Police Officers who were murdered by ironically the former Principal of Walgett Highschool - its all sliding doors stuff - I disarmed an armed offender on my own on Weilmoringle Station after he shot at two people escaping a Domestic Violence offence. Back in those days there were no telephones apart from some "party lines" and the single side band police radios did not work unless it was night time - just too remote and hot - geez look at me rambling on - maybe I should write a book someday LOL

A highway goes right through it, so it's not that remote.

[@NudePostingConspiracyTheories]

I’m Australian. This one has fascinated me. What astounds me --(and seems like something from another era ) - is that the cops did not get a warrant and go and scour Owen’s house, property and car for blood, after hearing exactly what they’d been hoping to hear in those tapes from the bugs at Owen’s house. I mean, why bother bugging the place, if, one you get the right kind of evidence, you take no notice of it. This is a shocker. Thanks for having a delve into the Aussie stuff mate

[@Alice-ui9oy]

It's not that astounding. The vastness off Australia means that if you choose to live outside of civilised areas, you can do so. Comes with certain benefits, risks, and sometimes unforeseen costs.

[@NudePostingConspiracyTheories]

‘Out of civilised areas’. Yeah, i guess you’re right

[@zlm001]

​@@Alice-ui9oyThat doesn't explain why the cops didn't bother to get a warrant to properly search the guy's property at the very least. They were clearly interested enough to bug the guy's house, but I guess not interested enough to convert that evidence to search the guy's property for evidence like blood left on clothes or shoes. It appears they didn't track down the vehicles he sold either. Also, the OP is Australian, I think they're aware of the vastness and remoteness of many regions in the country.

[@Alice-ui9oy]

@@zlm001 I suspect 'the cops' in this case consisted of 1 guy who was stationed 200km from that town who didn't want to chase anything up, given that he woukdnt be paid for the extra time spent out there, and he would certainly not be home in time for dinner.

Dr. Grande really kept a straight face reciting those recordings. This is why his content is the best.

Lived in Katherine and honestly it’s like moving back in time in Sydney we would just run the tape though a analyser and know in minutes if it was him on tape or not

I worked way out west in NSW years ago. People out there said people got "disappeared" real easy because of how sparsely populated it is. I said what happens in (the next state west) South Australia? They said, "Nothing, no-one lives there!"

South Aus is murder central! More murders than any other state in the country!

Small town drama is usually the juiciest.

[@LaciRae]

this town & the “characters” are like the set up to a Rob Zombie horror movie.

I lived and worked in the NT in 97 and 99. They are a different breed for sure..... You meet people in Australia that travel around and don't quite fit into normal society. Then they get to the NT and find that's where they're comfortable and they "fit in" just fine....

In your relaying of Owens dialogue he appeared to be answering himself as a different person at times. One wonders if there is enough ground to investigate if he has a psychotic illness with multiple auditory hallucination personas. His background as a boxer certainly offers ground for traumatic brain injury as cause for mental illness.

After hearing your take on this and then reading the comments I feel like I need to make a comment. I was introduced to Paddy by a good mate of mine Tom Kerwin(dec) back in the late 80s. Over that time Paddy also became a good mate. I used to go through Larrimah when working on stations inland from there. I would drop into the pub for a meal and too have a couple of quite ones with Paddy and Barry. In my opinion Paddy was a top bloke, someone who would have your back if needed. I have also eaten Fran's pies and they definitely where no way as good as the pubs. The fellow who probably killed Paddy was a loner, I fiscally saw him a few times but did not know him. She told me that he was the gardener and he was bad tempered. Paddy could be a bit of a stirrer but in my book he was a good mate. I still have both Tommie and Paddy's phone numbers in my phone

Every once in awhile I have to watch another video that Dr. Grande publishes to help me avoid trouble whenever I am starting to get complacent about my safety and the safety of others. This video points out that some small villages can never change too. Spending too much time studying while living in a now quiet neighborhood was my only excuse when more than one person during the last month felt the need to remind me and/or others again that predators or trouble makers almost never change and so when someone acts creepy I better not ever be trying to change them while making excuses for them because they are feeling sick.

Whoever killed Paddy and I assume the poor dog also could have fed them to the crocodile at the zoo thus no bodies.

Reminds me of The Sandstone Killer.As I worked there for 7 years you cant help wonder how safe you really are anywhere.
