Possible reasons:
  • He genuinely does not know
  • He does not remember
  • He does know, but is confident she will not be found
  • He does know, but thinks if she is found it may make things worse for him (may reveal additional offences)
  • He does know, but has some other reason (protecting another party, under threats from another party, bad advice, misguided, ...)

He could be a complete nutjob that wants to keep the location of the body as his own twisted little secret :) But that's the least likely scenario, I guess.
 
Another failed search. Obviously they have been using digital footprints and data to ascertain search areas. They don't need the body to get a conviction. Sad for the family. It's going to be a while before we hear what the evidence is they have against him.

Fact they said difficult and dangerous terrain indicates to.me they've gone back to the mineshaft theory.
I'd need to.look at a map.but if the search so far has been around a 10km radius of where sm went missing its possible she has been moved a lot further afield. Also fact only a phone has been located and no.other possessions. I mean like an hour or 2 away similar to the campers rh and CC. Be interested if police have tracked vehicles around SMs route and who.made a long journey on the day.

Real reason mum’s body hasn’t been found

As yet another police search for Samatha Murphy’s body comes to a close, the community of Ballarat – as well as the rest of Australia – are demanding answers more than ever before.

Criminal psychologist Tim Watson-Munro believes police are remaining overly tight-lipped for one reason – they think someone else is involved.

If someone else is involved, who? how?

So, what if POS got himself into debt to a "criminal gang"? He can't pay and is being menaced. The gang proposes to him that he "do a job" for them and his debt will be wiped. They do not ask him to rewire the clubhouse, but instead want someone eliminated. After the job is done, the "criminal gang" takes over and tidies up. POS does not know when the body is.

Tim Watson Munro has a conviction for cocaine possession and was struck off for 2 years and suffered the indignity if being supervised in practice for 2 years afterwards

Don't know if he has a private practice over the intervening 20 years

He seems to be the go to person to go to for a professional psych opinion for Courts appearances and he can always be relied upon to give a one line quote to a reporter seeking one.

He comes out with opinions without interviewing the alleged which are not tested in Court. Puts a different slant on it if his opinions were tested under cross examination

But he keeps his profile high

Ok but why would this criminal gang want Samantha eliminated?
Edit, I hope this isn’t the case because POS is potentially wasting part of his life. Could have got a bank loan.
