sounds like a screw got screwed

Technology, technical expertise and support are improving, climate change redevelopment, research projects and community faithfulness in each other, its just a matter of time ⏲

I’m so sorry for your loss

🙏🙏🙏🙏😞

Yeah the poor guy more than likely had an accident hunting and is probably still lying out there somewhere..It seems now that no one can accept accidents happen and have got to try destroy someone or blame someone, everyone’s gotten far to paranoid..Rip fella

Or in US Federal lands or the Arizona desert or Washington state forests etc., etc.

I frequent this area on trail bikes can certainly say it is so so so so easily to get lost and off track. I’ve racked up 10,000km over the last few years in the area and surrounding mountains. Been so many times where I’ve been lost and thought, fuck if something bad happens no one would ever find me here. Parts of the bush there are insanely steep, rocky and dense, not to mention the countless mine shafts.

Weather you're right or weather you're wrong remains to be seen

@@paulpaul4681 And whether you are right or wrong, the weather will do away with most of the evidence.

She Found Out he had a affair

Massive cover up look at the last name Dale is he related ?the only one to know who went in and out of the prison on secret visits would be the governor

very suspicious

@@brankotopal2802 you still go and look for him. she uses the children as an excuse NOT to look, maybe she should have used them as a REASON to look.

I can think of several cases of hunters going missing and their gun not being found in the US and Canada. Does that mean they were all murdered too? It's weird but not very rare at all. Look up Missing 411 cases they are all like this. These kind of things are bizarre and weird but very common.

There are a couple of cases in Sweden as well where hunters have gone missing in large areas of wilderness and strangely not a single item have been found. One would think that if they became injured and died at one time animals would spread things around. Foxes are quite playful and those who live close to forests knows that shoes, toys and such left out on a veranda can be knicked and eventually be found some kilometer into the forest with bite marks. And even if some forests have bog swamps one would think some items would have surfaced.

Wonder if it was the Airline pilot?? I think it was a hit, but who knows??

Exactly.

It's well known that men think with their penises and some women use it to their advantage.

Yes, I wondered if he had just left to start a new life with a new girlfriend. His wife and kids would be provided for by the insurance, and he was smart

Not that uncommon . Cover more ground . Increase chance of shooting a deer .

Not just getting lost, but seeing movement, not wearing that yellow hat, there was a strong chance you could get shot by your buddy, accidentally or otherwise! ….don’t understand why they had to break up…surely it would have needed both men to carry a dead deer back between them, in view of all the backpacking gear they already carried!!! I mean that deer would be very heavy across one man’s arms, and you couldn’t leave it and mark the spot, as you risk not finding it again….something smells very rotten here.

I also found it odd the police got Robbie to fire his gun in the air- surely the police had their own gun, so Robbie could be checked for gun residue, and check if his gun had been fired. Of course he could always have said that HE had fired at a deer. Over following days were buzzards or vultures seen circling? (Sorry I’m in the U.K.,so not familiar with your wildlife) So when police knew they were coming to search for a missing man, why didn’t they bring a bloodhound first ? Known to have incredible nose power,even years later! And or Cadaver. Dogs? Why were neither brought out to search? It’s feasible that a bloodhound may still be of help I may just add. It’s very sad, and not just a little strange about this huge family fall out!! After all those years of close bond, to split like that is awful!! David deserves to be found! Have any of you thought of contacting a reputable psychic? AND BEFORE IM SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES, whatever your faith or belief, some police forces have worked with psychics and had good results. A new one has come to the fore on TV called the seat belt psychic, he drives people, and gives them a reading as he drives. Hid names Is Thomas John. At the moment he works under the James Cordon tv company, but he is very good, and unless you ask/give it a go you never know! There are other more famous ones like Tyler Henry and Mat Frazier, but both are booked for years for readings. But please don’t dismiss , any help you can get. Phil Jordon used to be a police officer, but has an incredible psychic skill, has found lost children in deep wooded areas. There are many gifted psychics who could at least point you in the right direction or reading.🙏 now having heard he was supposed to had had an extra marital affair, could they offended party have lay in wait with a gun? Although no sound of a gunshot was heard by the brother in law. It’s very sad when human life, or sadly human remains as they must be by now, are not given the respect and thought they deserve by the Whole family. It shouldn’t have split like this and I want to say Shame on them. It isn’t all about the widow, the man’s mother needs answers, all the brothers should be pulling together. I’m undecided about the brother in law…it’s too off Pat somehow. I do hope I read they have found him soon. Extra marital affairs or not, dislike from someone in or working at the prison, however David has met his tragic end, and being logical I think we know he must be dead after all this time, he IS STILL somebody’s son,brother,father,friend, and even husband, and as a human being alone, deserves to have his remains located and a decent funeral and final cathartic funeral for the WHOLE family to attend,lick their wounds and heal together once again. Godbless you all, and praying for your success. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋‍♀️💕🦋💐💐

I agree. Anything I was taught was that you should stick together, mainly to avoid accidents, but also to support each other.

He was murdered by the only other person there. Dude just hid the body very well.

My question aswell

Dale is a very common name, I would have expected the tv show to have indicated if there was a connection.

It's very rare, but it can happen. For example the (South Australia) Coroners Act 2003 part 4 s21 states: The Coroner's Court must hold an inquest to ascertain the cause or circumstances of the following events: (a) a death in custody; (b) if the State Coroner considers it necessary or desirable to do so, or the Attorney-General so directs- (i) any other reportable death or a death that would, but for section 3(2), have been a reportable death; or (ii) the disappearance from any place of a person ordinarily resident in the State; or (iii) the disappearance from, or within, the State of any person; ............ I haven't read Victoria law, but I would expect the provisions to be broadly similar. In UK law a Coroner's Inquest can be held if a person has disappeared and there is reason to believe that death has occurred.

There hit n miss not guaranteed

A little to good to be true if you were Paul Dale you would think

As a hunter I agree, we're constantly on the look out for signs, footprints, rub marks, wallows, if they haven't found his Gun, clothing, hat, skeleton, he aint there.

I concur...Much the same as the RCMP in Canada. A pathetic Clown show

I again ask the question: are Victoria cops corrupt, incompetent, or both? Multiple episodes of this program have painted them in a very unprofessional light, to put it charitably.

They are completely corrupt..........end of story

@@scottevans2685 both, unfortunately.

It's a British thing.

Los could detect for years but weather gets in the way

I don't know the terrain at all but I agree he would have been found by now. This begs the question: how could he have been killed and his body removed without other hikers or locals not witnessing something untoward?

@@stevebbuk except for the ski slopes the high country is pretty empty in winter. We do a 4wding trip over the Queen’s birthday in June and that’s the end of the camping season.

@Paul Cooper Yes but something would have been found; either the body itself or remnants from the rucksack.

@Paul Cooper things like a backpack & rifle won’t go missing in the scrub

@@stevebbuk It is the Southern Hemisphere. June is early Winter and it is Highcountry but by end of Sept. it is well and truly Spring. Things should be easier to spot.

no....this is victoria police were talking about

Maybe someone should contact down under Dan under water search team because if his truck is missing to there is every possibility it is under water. Anything is worth a go.

@@rebekahvenn201 Not much water up there, especially in the droughts we have been through.

It was found, locked and parked. They used it to ferry searchers(without taking any forensics.!)

To say the plaque ceremony was bizarre was an understatement.

Some people can think and act and some people cannot.

Depending on the geography, people on their own can vanish without a trace being found but I believe it is rare without other human involvement. In this case the fact that David Prideaux had camo gear, a backpack, and a weapon which were not found suggests that his living or dead body left the area with the help of other people. Either that or there are some truly inaccessible ravines in the area.

Lots of people vanish without a trace in the Australian bush, sometimes their remains are found decades later. And this is not a small area, impossible to do a complete search.

@@ian7033 He could only cover a relatively short distance each hour so the area he was likely to be found within shouldn't be very big. Where he started from to his intended destination, between those 2 points is where you'd expect him to be, then work out from there, not too far, if you find nothing he's most likely been taken. He can't have travelled too far from where he started, so the search area needn't be vast. 3 miles per hour at the most, he couldn't have gone too far, or too far wrong. Nothing was found, I believe he was taken out of the area. The absence of evidence is, in this case, evidence of absence.............. Unless, of course, it isn't.

@@sihammer7942 Read Peters comments below which are absolutely correct "I spoke with our dog squad members who also took part in the search. Their comments to me were, “ he could have been one metre away from where we searched and there is no chance you would ever find him”

@@ian7033 Cl;early I don't know what I'm on about, I appreciate you setting me straight, I had no idea the terrain was so adverse. Again, thank you for dealing with my ignorance, or some of it, I retain a not inconsiderable stock which I'll try harder to keep to myself. If only it could be lost as easily as our guy......... God only knows what's hidden on that mountain, or who is?....?.......

Yep 😌 Im Australian and I'd love to travel my country but it's no joke .. it's massive and empty with very little water deadly snakes . Dehydration is the biggest threat .

And you wonder why ....

I noticed her smiling and almost laughing.

Exactly. Both women seem to be smiling. Why? Are they happy? If so, why are they happy?

Yes they did, it was stated several times.

@@ariadneschild8460 must have missed it in the noise

I agree.

@@bevanbuckwheatshea5520 my thought was, IS SHE SMILING??? That was weird for sure.

Dunno!

yeh she know he is missing...

She knows something

I've walked up to Rusa deer, exploring the bush, they're introduced pests with zero predators besides man. There aren't many hunters in Australia compared to America, and here Rusa walk down the street and eat peoples gardens. Stay downwind and walk quietly. I'm guessing a Whitetail is a totally different animal.

I bet there was a phone call made from the Brotherinlaw many hrs before the 1 to the cops to say he was missing ??? Did they check that ???

In the High Country there is often no mobile phone coverage.

You actually think a brother-in-law would give af about him being a wh*re? You think his sister and her husband are going to be that enraged over him betraying someone who married into that family? You are truly fukking delusional about men. They have no honour especially when it doesn’t affect them personally.

To the lighthouse..in reply.. What observations you made were just so fascinating, just pure logic. I think you shld be involved in detective work. Thank you for your honesty!!

You’d be surprised how many years can go by without a trace being found. It happens a lot. Then they’re found close by the search area or even in an area that was said to be searched. And if the brother-in-law is innocent, that’s not that long to wait. Because he wouldn’t have assumed he was missing right away. I follow a lot of missing person cases and so often people, innocent people, wait even until the next day because they don’t want to believe the person is missing. By the time they start to believe it, sometimes they panic and start looking themselves instead of going for help straight away.

@@fritula6200 Thank you for your kind words! (and happy holidays too!).

Not if he’s the farther of your children, he cheated on her not his children they still have the right to know what happened to their farther

Agreed about the brother inlaw, although the family and the wife teaming up against the brother is a bit far fetched.

Forgive we gauche Australians. We are so tied up with ourselves and so insular, all tucked away down under. Easy target for those who want to take advantage of the gullible. We have our own individual, innocent form of adjectives.

deer are invasive pests here. they should actually be culled, because they're destroying native ecosystems. if you kill them quickly and cleanly it's more humane than trying to remove them alive from the environment - they panic and hurt themselves.

Deers are feral and browse on young shrubs and damage trees when rubbing their antlers, they also breed like rabbits.

@@ariadneschild8460 oh, I forgot, humans do no damage to anything on the earth & don’t try the bullshit about the deers destroying the trees humans have been destroying the trees for greed forever, you obviously like to kill also, your the epitome of the word feral, i’ld much rather see bad people hunted than innocent animals

@@kerryharding6463 I live in the country and having a herd of deer come out of no where on the highway is no joke. You don't know what you're talking about have you ever had a deer leap onto your car? People have died, you should blame the deer farmers who don't fence them properly allowing them to damage the bush and roam freely.

@@ariadneschild8460 Whatever…. If it wasn’t the deer I’m sure you’ll have another animal to hunt & another excuse, I always wish that it was possible for the hunted to shoot and kill the hunter, there’s something mentally lacking in people that can kill but I guess it’s nothing new to humans who seem to do it so easily!

Riddles was in on the coverup

Well he definitely isn’t alive

@@The_Crusty_Old_Hag_Next_Door That much looks certain, but murdered? Yeah, nah... imo, of course.
