In the Australian outback, mysteries have a way of shifting and distorting — and none more so than the enduring saga of a Larrimah man and his kelpie that never returned to the pub.
There's a long, straight stretch of the Stuart Highway that cuts through the Northern Territory outback like a blade – the 700 kilometre run between Katherine and Tennant Creek.Each lonely roadhouse or rest area can seem separated by hours, punctuated only by termite mounds, cattle station fencing, or the rush of a road train as it thuds past in the opposite lane.
Since the police investigation's early weeks, NT police have sustained that it's highly likely Mr Moriarty was murdered, and his body disposed of somewhere in the vast outback."The DPP has determined that there is insufficient evidence to make out a charge against any person in relation to the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty," the statement read.
However, the pair have always vehemently denied their involvement in the disappearance, and now the DPP has conceded there's not enough proof to convey any wrongdoing.Police investigation to carry onMr Laurie denied it was him singing on the secretly recorded tapes.The outback Northern Territory town of Larrimah has completed its journey from total obscurity to a global true crime phenomenon.
