It's the only explanation that Toby can think of.
I asked police questions about this too, but again, they declined to answer them.
Simone's parents, Gabi and Gustav, were disappointed when the charges against Toby were dropped.
They released a statement afterwards, saying they were shocked and saddened at the news.
They said after so many years, it seemed they were still no closer to finding out what happened to Simone.
They'd always been confounded, they said, by the multiple and conflicting versions Toby gave to police about the events surrounding Simone's death.
And even though Toby had said he'd told them the truth before their relationship broke down, they said Toby and Katrin had never given them an account of what happened the day Simone died.
But Simone's parents said they did remain grateful to investigators in Australia and Germany who'd been working so hard to provide justice for Simone.
During my interviews with Toby, as I listened to hour upon hour of him explaining why he didn't kill Simone, I thought of Simone's family.
And I felt the need to ask him directly if he had harmed Simone and look him in the eye as he answered.
And I'm going to ask you this, did you do anything like that?
Interviewing Toby has been one of the most intense experiences of my time in journalism.
I leave Perth confused about why police stayed so focused on Toby for almost two decades.
It makes sense that police heavily scrutinised Toby and did whatever they could to work out if he was responsible.
It seems they put a lot of weight on Toby's lies and the details he fabricated way back in 2005.
Maybe that was enough for them to keep looking for evidence that could confirm he was involved.
But shouldn't they have been focusing on other possibilities as well?
It all makes me wonder about the other people who were out there in the dark near the caravan park that night in 2005.
Could one of them be responsible?
That's next on Lies in Lismore.
