To be honest, it wasn't a great documentary and seemed to care more about creating more mystery than resolving anything, but there were some interesting snippets I wasn't aware of:
- The truck driver claimed to have seen another car shortly before he found Lees, and claimed to have seen two blokes putting somebody in it and driving off.
- The bloke in the video footage didn't seem to quite match Murdoch
- The dog described by Lees was nothing like Murdoch's dog
- A shot cattle dog was discovered nearby which was closer to the description
- Somebody claimed to have been in the Barrow Creek pub with somebody who was overtly talking about how to hide body, and that he'd
But they didn't really follow any of this up, nor did they explore why they set off down the highway late afternoon which from what I remember, nobody does and we were always advised against. I did once drive that stretch of the Stuart Highway at night when we went to the pub in Ti Tree from the farm we were working at, and I could only do about 20mph because it was just a slalom of kangaroos.
The back of our car was full of massive Tongan blokes, up from Melbourne on some kind of scheme for wrong-uns, so if some lunatic had pulled us over I'd be more worried about his safety
The documentary was following a defence lawyer who was trying to find holes in the case against Murdoch to see if they could appeal, so it may well all resurface if he's able to.
