LALITA NEEDS THE TRUTH

SETTING THE CONSPIRACY

Lalita Horsman allegedly went missing at 6 pm Sunday, 5 December 1999.

At 2 pm Monday, 6 December 1999, a Police officer found a singlet in the sand dunes two kilometres north of where her sunglasses were found.

He described it as being undamaged, even though later in court it was claimed to have been stripped from her in a violent sexual attack.

He also found it covered in spider webs, soiled with vegetation stains, yet, at most, had been lying there for only 18 hours.

He knew that it was a different colour to the one described by her boyfriend, the last person to see her, 12 hours earlier.

Knowing all this, they immediately designated this a murder scene and called Perth to send Detective Lee from Major Crimes up to Geraldton; Lalita had only been missing for 18 hours.

The next day, Tuesday, 7 December 1999. At 2.30 pm, the same officer discovered a body at the bottom of a sand dune, 3 kilometres north of where he found the singlet.

Shortly after, Detective Keals and Sergeant Morton put on gloves and carefully began clearing the sand away from the body. Another officer video-recorded the activity.

At this point, they had not identified the body as Lalita Horsman.

Congealed blood from a small wound in her scalp soaked her blonde hair; the wound appeared as not much more than a scratch, but had clearly bled profusely.

The following conversation is from audio on video footage. This picture is from the video, showing Morton pointing out the blood in Lalita’s hair; this is after he had brushed a lot of the blood away to get to the wound.

Keals noticed the congealed blood. “She’s murdered at the other place, yes?”

“What, mate?” asked Morton.

“She’s been murdered at the other joint – the other site, the other location, she’s been murdered over there,” Keals argued, referring to the site where the singlet was found.

“We’ve already discussed this. She’s been murdered here.” Replied Morton

“She hasn’t been,” insisted Keals.

“There’s too much bleeding into the what’s-a-name,” was Morton’s final reply. He looked at the large pool of blood that had seeped into the sand before Lalita died, before her heart stopped pumping.

 Keals turned to the officer recording the scene and motioned him to turn off the video. A few minutes later, the video resumed, and Morton conceded the other location as being the place of death.

NOTE: When the heart stops, at death, the body does not bleed. Therefore, Lalita was still alive at this spot.

One sentence stands out: “We’ve already discussed this.”

When had they discussed where Lalita had been murdered?

They had only confirmed it was Lilita’s body five minutes ago.

It must have been the day before when they found the singlet and declared it a crime scene by taping it all off.

But how could they have known that Lalita was already dead and had been murdered, not died of natural causes, but murdered? The day before. 

QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED – How did the body get there?

Dave Macartney had lived here at Cape Burney for years. His hobby was driving all over these dunes in his 4-wheel-drive Land Rover. He knew these dunes like the back of his hand and would regularly use the sand track to go to Geraldton.

The officer, on the left, is digging out the body at the bottom of the dune that Macartney had allegedly carried her down.

Then why, if he had killed Lalita, would he drive to the top of a dune and manhandle her body down to the bottom and then drag her another 10 metres when he could have used the sand track to the left and driven around to the spot she was buried, which was a few metres from a track that led in from the Southgate Road? 

However, if she had died in town, it would have been easy to take the turn off Brand Highway, then 50 metres up Southgate Road, and left onto the sand quarry track.
