Gus

So he wouldn't have seen me anyway.

Yeah.

But Debbie would have had to have seen me when I went home to get the other vehicle.

And she's a liar.

Yeah.

So I sat in the bus for five hours.

It doesn't make any sense.

I wouldn't have left the bus on the side of the road.

There's no way I would do that.

Very mildly, I think that's what happened.

I think what had happened was there'd been a flood, the Mary River had come up and it came up, so far it was right up to the sheds on Ian's property and I think the bus got a lungful of water.

I managed to move it

But it had water and I had trouble getting all the water out of the carbine system.

And I think that's what might have caused it to stop, some water in the carbine.

I think that's what that might have been.

Are you talking about the morning of her disappearance?

Well, I don't know that that was the morning of her disappearance.

I'm just thinking of the time when the bus, when I think the bus broke down.

They're talking about five hours of not knowing.

So if Ian's saying, if I went to the shed at seven, so he didn't see me until lunchtime, until 12 o'clock, right?
