Woman Disappears on Morning Run in Australian Bushland | Samantha Murphy Case Analysis

I live in country NSW and I can tell you that I would NEVER run in the bush, even on the tracks, without a personal locator beacon. You might safely run through the bush, 100 times but on run 101 you find yourself in trouble and every second counts. Do I know what happened to Samantha, no I don't, but with no blood evidence or physical evidence, at least that DISCLOSED to the public, Ive only discounted discounted the local kangaroo mobs in that area. I concur with Dr G that the Police have additional information which they won't share until they're good and ready to do so and I fear that this much loved wife and mother is no longer living. As of now I am sending my condolences to her entire family who are living through a situation that I pray never to be in! Thank you Dr G for your analysis.

[@Illawong]

She had her mobile phone and was never outside mobile range. There would be no reason to think that any further ability to contact the outside world would be necessary. This is an area near Ballarat, not a desert area where temperatures can be extreme.

[@bellsina7150]

I just posted about running in an area like this by yourself and have no idea why women continue to do it. Most of the time things are going to be okay but what about that one time? Were you run across a man that's going to take advantage of the situation and do something. A phone, watch? It's not going to help. I feel so bad for the family of this woman and I can only pray that they find her remains if she's not with us and can find out somehow who did this to her. How sad

[@gigi9301]

@@bellsina7150 Exactly! I used to run around my neighborhood a lot, until a creepy couple (man/woman in a shabby car) pretty much blocked me and tried to get me to step in closer to ask where there is a restaurant around here. I backed away, shouted to go up that street to broadway and use their phones to find a restaurant I ran towards a random house as if it was mine and I could have judged the situation incorrectly, yet they knew they were in an affluent neighborhood / no restaurants, strip malls, or restaurants anywhere. All of a sudden they're hungry and both of them need My help ? My instincts told me it wasn't smelling right They could have just been out on a Sunday drive and gotten lost, yet better safe than sorry. Calling 911 would have taken at least 20 minutes for them to arrive, and they could have shoved me into the trunk and been long gone. No ear buds for me when I'm running even in the gym

[@joannemcneill156]

​@mirjamweibel9678 no one knows. He's not talking.

[@BGwControlStop]

Yesh he's a son of a former professional Australian rules footballer, they used the Cell tower information to narrow him down and was tracking his behaviour and movements for a number of weeks before they were confident enough to arrest him. Would be interesting if you re-reviewed this in a year's time when you have a bit more public information. This probably demonstrates with the amount of surveillance that exists now with cameras and cell phone tower pings, if you want to get away with a major crime you really need to be off the grid and plan very well.

I get it, because a lot of our parents read books to us while growing up during raising us. On the other hand, there's nothing soothing about these cases and I can literally only watch so many in a single day. Sometimes I don't even watch true crime for a week at a time. On the other hand, I can also acknowledge that most people these days are so desensitized to horrific things that this type of things actually becomes soothing and it's actually fairly alarming. I would suggest you not watch true crime for a long time or read, watching, nor entertain yourself with awful things for a long time and you can successfully train your brain to be sensitive again.

[@historicaustralia]

I used to take 1 hour walks with my sister down uninhabited roads surrounded by bushlands with my sister in Airlie Beach, Queensland. Quite often she even she went walking on her own. We didn't think about it back then, but we were probably putting ourselves at risk every time we went, which was almost daily. Airlie Beach seemed like a small friendly town back in the 90's, but so did many other small towns where bad things happened. There is a degree of danger in every country that you go to and Australia is no exception. I think she's met with foul play and more than likely someone who knew her. I would never go walking/hiking alone in isolated areas anymore. It sucks but that's the world we live in now. Thanks Dr Grande.

Just some context. Describing the running route as a 'trail' may be misleading. This area is criss-crossed with graded dirt/gravel roads and rougher roads more like fire tracks. Most of the area is accessible by ordinary cars and abduction by an an assailant(s) with a vehicle is a possibility. The area of the disappearance is within a 10 minutes drive of a regional town of over 100,000 people so its not the remote outback.

Excellent analysis yet again. We might never find out what happened to Samantha but from or massive experiences here in Australia most people died from convicts released on bail. They get released to claim another victim or a group of them like Jill Meagher case or the case when the convict who was on bail ran over pedestrians in Melbourne CBD - which I witnessed myself during lunchtime. We had numerous cases like this. There's something terribly wrong with our justice system in Oz.

I am sure they are referring to people broadcasting in from Canada, Germany, Thailand, etc. that have no connections to the case or the area and are calling the police with “According to my crystal ball 🔮, she was kidnapped by aliens and is on Planet Mars” theories. I do not believe they would turn away people who had genuine leads or know real information that would solve the case. As the previous commenter said, it’s a total waste of police time and I am sure that it is probably a misdemeanor to knowingly make a false report, as it is in the US

I live in Australia myself in Tasmania ( Australia consists of 2 Islands ) This happened on the mainland as you said in Victoria. The area is pock marked with mine shafts as it was/is a Goldfields area. Your last 2 minutes of this are so accurate and mirror what I am thinking. The Dog has disappeared as well at the same time. Samantha was superbly fit and could easily have distanced an average person .She knew the area well .I think the police know a LOT more than they are revealing but gathering that evidence and even putting together a prosecution takes time.The public are far too obsessed with an immediate answer and it doesn't work that way. I am surprised that they didn't call in an Aboriginal Tracker.These people read footprints like you and I read the newspaper. If a woman was assaulted before it's reasonable to suspect that is a possibility no one can discount. Some weirdo like Paul Denyer aka the Mornington Monster. Murdered and then thrown down a mine shaft and then maybe a shot Kangaroo carcass thrown on top of her. Simone Quinlan was shot and thrown down a mine shaft.Her body discovered in 3 pieces. She could have staged her own disappearance also. Police are widening their look at the phones that pinged the tower's at that time too. I think we are on a cusp of revelation but when it will come is anyone's guess.

Never walk or run in the bush with ear buds as any predator will see you as easy prey. Always be capable of running and fighting. Become a vocalist capable of producing 110db which means overtone projection. Most people have no skills which makes them vulnerable and fearful which is not like our nature as humans

[@Koozomec]

I do try my best to limit my own speculations about situations like this. Thank you for your example Dr Grande.

[@eureka842008]

There is currently a breakthrough in this case. Police have uncovered devices data , coming from nearby signal tower ,of people who were in the same area with Samantha at the time when she vanished.

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

Yep ...living in the time of Big Brother has solved many crimes ..lets face it.

The police have arrested a 22 year old man at his home at 6am on Wednesday 6th March. He hasn’t been charged yet (Thurs mid-morning) but it seems things are progressing. The police are still searching for her. Edit: ex-footballer’s son charged with her murder.

[@krtierney]

The fact that I did a 13 mile fun run alone yesterday is CHILLING.

Who was at the dinner party? They were the only people who knew her plans for that day. Police will be investigating the dinner party guests as a priority.

I’m in Melbourne & they’ve just arrested a 22 year old male from Ballarat, who’s now in custody. No other info has come out as yet.

[@TheGreekCatholic]

Ballarat such a beautiful place

[@MeredithBell-v3f]

It's always been very sketchy

[@davidphuggins]

I think they should look into the people she had dinner with the night before. She’s been running somewhere new, and nothing bad had happened, suddenly, she has dinner with people - tells them, then the next day goes missing? Big coincidence

[@stevenprice6957]

I’m sure the police have looked or are looking into all possibilities. I doubt this has anything to do with her missing but anything’s possible at this stage.

[@montyfpv2259]

UPDATE-Our dilligent police have charged a 22 yr old male with Samantha's murder. He is not assisting with the location of her body. Mobile phone data from the area was scrutinised which led investigators to identify the suspect. As yet it is believed to be a targeted attack, however more details will come to light as the murder investigation continues. RIP Samantha. Very sad and tragic loss of life.

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

If your going to plead Not GUILTY ...You do not want a body..

Yes, this one is indeed a genuine mystery (and I'm hopeful for a future update). Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande.

You did well there with saying that the police did not say to stop speculating at all! Lucky you!

[@louisquatorze9280]

Some areas are unsafe for anyone to run in alone. By the way, police often withhold key evidence in cases like this because there are lunatics that will confess to a crime that they didn't do, for attention seeking purposes and keeping key evidence secret helps to week out the lunatics.

Thank you for covering. I’ve been watching for years and never thought my suburb would be mentioned. Everyone here is Ballarat is hoping Sam is found soon.

I’m from Australia. I’m pretty sure she didn’t fall down a mine shaft. Pushed but not fell.

She'd have to go to the shaft first.

[@LyndellBarnes-q8w]

Police this morning, 7/3/24, have arrested a 22 year old Ballarat man in connection with the disappearance of Samantha Murphy. The man is not connected with the family. Formal charges have not yet been filed.

[@Catherinzsl]

How about a hit man? Her partner (or someone) hired a third party to take her out. I'm not saying I think that's what happened, but it would explain how someone knew to find her and be able to plan and conceal the evidence - compared to a rogue and messy madman.

[@kg6801]

Withholding certain details means being able to determine if someone they talk to mentions details they couldn't otherwise know and could be vital in catching or prosecuting someone or finding her.

[@maelradec6766]

It truly pissed me and my wife off that the Australian news stopped covering this story because a news presenter was shot by a cop, when they had everything, the gun, body and so on but kept reporting it over and over when everyone wanted to know what happened to Samanther. Yesterday a 22 year old man was arrested related to the case but they will not release his name or what he was charged for because he is the son of some football player.

[@peted3637]

Yeah, I noticed that too. The fuss that got made over those two happy lads from Sydney completely overshadowed the Samantha case. No prizes for guessing why.

[@davidgoliath5901]

A person has now been charged. The police and all involved have done an incredible job in solving this utter tragedy.

[@OffWhiteDaz]

Shoutout from Australia. Another interesting case here at the moment is the murder of tv presenter Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies by a serving police officer. It was a poorly planned premeditated murder of one person that turned into a poorly executed (excuse the pun) murder of two people. Would love to see your take on it

[@EllaRuhl]

The "a situation like this" joke around 5:00 is Dr. Grande gold

[@marniejohnston5106]

A 22 year old man is now in police custody and has been charged with Samantha's murder, although he is refusing to cooperate with police re the location of her body. Police have stated that the perpetrator is not known to the family.

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

YEP...but if he plans to plead 'Not Guilty Your Honor' ...he's not going to reveal the location.

[@HelenWoodward-y1h]

Correct!

[@Alice-ui9oy]

Breakthrough in this case- 22 year old man charged with her murder. Looks like dr grande pretty spot on with analysis of probability of different theories... looks to have been a stranger attack.

[@ronesss33]

I live approximately 90 mins away from where Samantha went missing so this has been on my mind especially as a woman the same age. I had been thinking it was probably a random attack from a stranger but after watching your video I am really starting to think it was planned by someone she knew who wanted her gone. All the other theories don’t really make sense as somebody had to disable her technology quickly and ensure there was no evidence left for anyone to find. Like you said that would be pretty hard in the case of an accident or random attack. Or a pack of kangaroos which made me spit out my drink 🤭 Thank you for the touch of black humour to help us deal with the darkness of daily life and also for pronouncing Melbourne (bin not born) correctly 📱🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

You should take a look at the killer of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies by an employed police officer in Sydney Australia who was supposedly infatuated with Baird who was a tv presenter and formerly romanticly involved with the killer

[@blaynefishlock]

Actually impressed that you pronounced Melbourne correctly

[@Meditations2024]

Running in a secluded area all alone is probably about the worst idea ever. In an area where transients and drug addicts are common too? You need to be aware of your surroundings and going anyplace like that alone is extremely risky. Just be safe, not everyone's a nice person. Transients and drug addicts are desperate people.

[@standardsarhy5319]

Perhaps - but as the good Doctor mentioned, if it was a crime of opportunity perpetrated by one of these folks, it's unlikely they'd be organized enough to make every bit of evidence disappear.
