3:01 “The closest thing he had to a projectile weapon was a recently filled prescription for viagra.”
i believe those are called "heat seeking moisture missiles"
😂🤣😂
The "prescription for Viagra was burning a hole in his pocket" 🤣😂🤣
Aaaaaahhhhh🤮
😂😂😂
This episode has it all. Camping in the woods, guns, knives, drones, kangaroos, and the intent to have geriatric sex in a tent.
The outback is a busy place, Doc.
Sex at 70😂😂🤣35 seconds maybe
Sex at 80
You forgot the aliens 👽 😂
I've worked in many elderly care homes and some of these older folks have a very high drive.
Technically that's not the outback.
His first wife's death is beyond suspicious.
Yup. I didn't know this before the video, it's super suss to me, given what he escalated to.
The second wife is gross too, laughing at the TV show about the murders. How do you live with someone you know murdered people, and laugh about it? She's got to be stupid not realizing she could've been next.
He was unequivocally cleared of his first wife's death, he wasn't in Mt Macedon when she died
@@alukuhito🤔 Yeah.
Yes
Jetstar Co-workers used to call in sick when Greg Lynn was rostered on to fly because he was so unlikeable.
The victorian high country is literally scattered with millions of practical & suitable places to camp at & yet Greg Lynn purposely set up camp right next to Russell Hill & Carol Clay just to be an antagonistic smart azz & then shot them both & feigned the "It wasn't my fault it was all an accident" excuse when he was investigated.
The jury not convicted him on both counts of murder was flabbergasting to all considering his behaviour after the crimes. We've all made mistakes, but we don't burn the bodies instead of telling the Police what happened if we're innocent
He's probably polishing his knob right now
I thought that Greg was already there first from what I recall from the trial and Russell was upset that he was there as it was his love camping place...
@@lutomson3496 Are you saying that Russell was trying to move Greg on by being a pain in the arse? There's no doubt Russell Hill had a tendency to be confrontational. When people want to go on a dirty weekend with their mistress & someone is in their love making place, the sensible thing to do is to move on to somewhere more secluded I would have thought. It's not like there's a shortage of them. Who would want to be romantic with their girlfriend with someone else in such close proximity? (Especially because it's a hunting area & meatheads with firearms are essentially a certainty) It sounds like there was a battle of the ego's went on then after reading your comment & Russell tried to move Greg on & Greg used his 12 gauge as his negotiating tool rather than pack up & move camp..
@@carpathiankenWhy should he pack up and move camp if he was there first? Is the other dude entitled?
@@carpathianken Spot on 👌 Neither man wanted to back down & it spiralled out of control
No one throws shade like Dr. Grande.
I honestly don't know how he gets through some of these episodes without laughing at his own comments!
What a messed up way to find out your husband was cheating
Yes ... tho i expect he was difficult to live with 🤔 hopefully wife is enjoying some peace without him & has a technique to open jars on her own 😁
His wife apparently found out early on in the long-running affair.
@@davinasquirrel7672
vegas , another american that cannot concentrate more than 2 minutes watching.
I believe Russell’s wife found out a while back. That’s why they had to have a secret camping rendezvous….so Russel’s wife wouldn’t find out. At least now she can spend all his money and go find a nice man who doesn’t cheat.
@laurenurban3942 Russell's wife is in her 70's, no chance in hell to find to find a new love. She better save the money for her grandkids
Robin was the only winner in this story. She was freed of both mistress and cheater.
I think you've kind of missed the point of this video.
@@Blackheathenly
explain what you think is the point of the video?
You are right. Robin IS the only winner.
@@BlackheathenlyHard to believe you don’t get the point of the comment. It was very clever.
The media and lawyers made money from it so they were winners.
What happens when unlikeable, arrogant people meet other unlikeable, arrogant people in remote campsites. It's tragic.
Yes.🙄😔
When the good doctor says “a serial killer kangaroo“, it actually activated Siri on my phone.
@@ashthecat3 I laughed because Kangaroos can kill you and they often drown other animals in dams and creeks by luring them in - so hypothetically a big Red Kangaroo could kill a man but I don't know if they have them in the Highlands 😂🙌🏼🦘🦘🦘
“Greg was familiar with following a checklist, but clearly did not have one for murder.”
I never understood how people dispose of bodies, be it burning, cutting up, etc., but expect the population to believe they do this because "they didn't think anyone would believe their story."
Lots of times I heard people saying that decades earlier they were a child victim but didn't say anything because they didn't think people would believe
@@david-dj8or that's a little different though.
@david-dj8or No, that's different. I'm talking about people who kill someone, say it's an accident or self-defense, but get rid of the body in one way or another.
@@GAshoneybear Sometimes there are ones who had no problems as a child as they may have been happy to engage at the time. Then as decades pass they may be told they are in actual fact a victim. It is taboo to even suggest that a child could want to engage so the "I didn't think people would believe" reason would be told.
@david-dj8or No, that is TOTALLY different situation than what I was referring to. What I'm talking about (like the video) has nothing to do with child abuse of any kind.
Dr. Grande should moonlight as a stand up comedian!🤣🤣🤣
I think he is 😅
He doesn't need to moonlight! He has merch already!
NO he shouldn't lol,, he'd turn into a true-crime Joe Rogan...
Oh absolutely!!! His wit is spot on.
Dr Grande is the premier sit down comedian, he’s in a whole new category
Our justice system is so strange here. How can he be guilty of her murder, but not his? It's so stupid.
The police goofed up not getting some warrants to bug this house and car early on and a lot of incriminating evidence was not allowed it court. Also he so thoroughly destroyed the remains that it was speculation who was killed first and how.
to do your statement, you should have been following what happened in court. i very much doubt you did.
They hate men
The jury consisted of Democrats thus the idiotic verdict.
I did - every word and it certainly does not make sense. Dr Grande is also correct when he said virtually the same thing.
Greg Lynn is now under a spotlight over the death of his first wife who had told a friend she feared for her live. A non drinker she was found dead, the autopsy found alcohol in her system. He is also being look at over the mysterious disappearance of a female friend when he was working in the middle-east
Scary …
Lesson learned: Do not drink Dr. Pepper while watching a Dr. Grande video.
His dry delivery is always on point. 😂😂😂
Yep, Dr Grande will always prevail over Dr Pepper. It's safer to keep all beverages aside whilst watching.
He can make us laugh whilst talking about the most atrocious people and crimes.
My laugh for the day!
Imagine being so unlikable a jury doesn't bother to include you in the charge of an obvious double murder.
Don't cheat on your wife for fifteen years after she gives you a second chance, folks!
The jury was specifically instructed that they could not make a manslaughter finding - they could only find him guilty or not guilty of first degree murder of Russel and Carol. Lynn took a high-risk strategy of confessing to the disposal of the bodies and suggested that all of his suspicious behaviour could be accounted for by him trying to cover up this crime. It was conceivable that he killed Russell by accident or during a fight but it was not conceivable that he killed Carol by accident.
Karma
@@M-yb1cc Nobody deserves a violent death for cheating
I'd say you are pretty much right except for the method of death. I think he stabbed Russell and then used the 4 shots as he hunted for Carol around the vehicle and hit the mirror in the process. He made the rest of his story fit the evidence so he more than likely stabbed him and said so just in case the police found evidence of that. I'm from Australia and there were other factors involved such as improper police procedures which led to some evidence being excluded from trial. He also had a really good lawyer which along with a ridiculous but technically plausible story led to the one not guilty verdict
I do not think Dr Grande actually speculated on how the deaths happened. He recounted how the guy said they happened. I do think you are correct though. Greg probably stabbed Russel during the altercation. Then to cover his misdeed he was shooting at Carol. This would explain the 4 shots, 3 of them probably missed, one hitting the mirror on the vehicle. The last shot was the one that killed her.
I think the big think that convicted him is his actions after the murder. Burning the campsite, disposing of the bodies, painting his vehicle, etc.
Two controlling old men, both incapable of avoiding confrontations with their neighbors. When possible, it is almost always better to just walk away.
Two rams on the bridge
@@annann4786😂
As fate would have it, these two alpha males would meet up in the most remote place. Russel’s ego completely took over, when he should have packed up and left….gone elsewhere. The alpha male with the weapon then took over Russel. It’s those unnecessary confrontations that will get ya killed. All Russell had to do was get in his vehicle and leave. An alpha can’t do that.
@@laurenurban3942 He definitely antagonised
I’d say that’s close to the truth
I agree! Dr Grande should moonlight as a stand up comedian!! His deadpan delivery is priceless 😂😂
Your "...deadpan" has never been a more descriptive adjective! 😂 So "deadpan" that it's hard to believe Dr Grande even knew he said it!
Priceless
Seems like these two guys were a lot alike. Not surprising it ended badly.
I’m in Melbourne, and watching this saga unfurl made me think the same.
Thank you for not blaming the innocent Dingoes
Those baby eating ones?
@@TerryLawrence001 😂😂😂😂🙌🏼
Yes indeed. Very definitely pro dingo here 💯
🤣🤣😂😂
@@user-zq9vi3gj2q😂
Surely there were other spaces to set up camp. It doesn't make sense that they were so close to each other.
@@SpaceKhajiit
they were still camping close together. most likely this caused the trouble
Well, it’s strange that when you go to the “wilderness” you are often less alone than when in a city. Less means more sometimes
Dr. Grande's serious humour is unmatched 😂 Bravo Sir.
"It's not funny, sweet pea" (said in the most monitone voice ever) 😂
I'm gonna say that to my husband in the same tone when he annoys me 😂
No one:
Dr Grande: Let me present a horrifying scenario while you’re falling asleep
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope I never end up on here with Dr Grande speculating about what might be happening in a situation like mine 😅
Now they are investigating the suspicious death of his wife. Not diagnosing, only speculating what could have happened.
As an Aussie, thanks for covering this case again since the court case. This story surprised us all.
The victim's pinging phone during body disposal process, the exact same mistake wife-killer Borce Ristevski made.
Lynn's version of events was always the most outrageous story. Yes, the serial killer kangaroo would have been marginally more believable. On the plus side, it seems the death of Lynn's first wife may be investigated more thoroughly.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about camper-based love among the antipodes like this.
😂🤣😎👍
😄😄😄
😂
He was recently convicted of just one murder as the fire damaged evidence and the jury could not agree on how one of them had died.
It was the only way to be sure to get a conviction.
Russell's wife already warned him about cheating. Marriage vows are not to be played with. Karma
@@missjackson3223 Yep - when it happened I immediately thought that they got their Karma for their terrible betrayal 🤔
It is very interesting that in some circles in Australia people are so strangely narrow minded and have such a twisted morality that they somehow believe Mr Hill and Ms Clay deserved to be murdered because they were having an affair . These could just as well have been young people , a married couple … anyone . The unfortunate circumstance is that they happened to camp next to a psychopath with a gun . His extraordinary arrogance led him to lie to the police in a quasi “ confession “ believing that his story , however preposterous , was the one the jury would side with . This couple did not deserve to be murdered any more than any other Australian citizen . A tragedy for themselves and their families . Most Australians are indeed wondering why there was only one murder conviction and not two … but grateful that at least there was one conviction of murder found and the monster was locked up .
That is such a messed up, callous attitude. You are both extremely damaged individuals.
Wow that's crazy talk
This comment is disgusting. Please get some help
Your deadpan humor is hilarious! Thank you! 🤣😂🤣👏👏👏
You are so calmly hilarious. It’s so refreshing to listen to such interesting topics. The humor you provide is always much needed.
I love your channel and your humour - maybe because I’m Australian and I remember this case unfolding in the news I struggled with the onslaught of sex jokes about the victims- I get that they were having an affair and they were elderly, I get the jokes- I just felt it got to the stage of belittling them both. They died horrific violent deaths and I felt like the jokes reduced that I also felt terrible for his wife when the story was unfolding as the victims were missing for a bit and their story was all over the media here- including of course their long standing affair- i guess I saw too much of it in my country’s media for the jokes to land this time
I still love your channel and your humour- just not this particular time
I don’t even live there and I hear ya on this one.
I agree. The one person in this saga who deserves our compassion is Russell's wife. And don't knock Viagra! There are a lot of tigers and other rare and endangered species alive due to this little pill
"You will 'roo the day!" 😂
Doc you're the best. You certainly have a way with words.
I was super sad that I would have to delete you, but, thankfully, the "elderly" turned out not to be the person born in 1967.
It’s so weird that senior citizens can still get jealous like teenagers.
I'd say it's a character flaw and those don't age out. Perhaps even more threatening is the view that one will become unable to care for themselves and unable to attract someone who could. No one wants to grow old and vulnerable alone after their youth and health are spent. There is a saying that someone has given the best years of their life to someone and that's very accurate. Young healthy reproductive idealistic attractive ambitious us packed into a precious few decades.
Have you seen how many adults think and act like children? A lot of them are still going to be that way when they're old.
That's funny." Pitching a second tent" , lol.
Thanks for covering this one! I am not sure I agree with the jury on this one. But I do believe he killed Carol to eliminate a witness. There’s a show on 60 Minutes Australia this weekend that I’m going to watch which goes into this in depth.
60 Minutes Australia is sensational trash tv
Remember how juries work. Ruling ‘Not Guilty’ doesn’t mean they think he’s innocent, rather that the prosecution didn’t put forward a strong enough case to convict.
@@TeChNoWC7
most people do not understand that. they have "gut feelings", "believes" ; "think", etc
@@TeChNoWC7 Yes indeed. I've actually done a few tours on Jury Duty as well. I am always amazed that here people are not charged with other things. Like, why wasn't he charged with destruction of evidence, tampering with a corpse, all those other things. I think sometimes it's too black and white. Once case I had was an assault. We all knew he was guilty, but because of the one single charge which the prosecutor didn't adequately prove, we had to let him go. So many other things we could have convicted him on. Frustrating.
Sometimes the facts speak for themselves, in which case it's the defence that has to present a plausible alternative to the most obvious conclusion. The only way the jury could've gone with Not Guilty is if they thought his "self defence/fell on the knife" story was plausible, despite everything else that was proven about the events. It also means they bought his "nobody would believe me" excuse for destroying the scene, including both the woman (assuming hers was the second death) and any exculpatory evidence supporting his story (which he wouldn't have done if he thought there was any), then hiding both the bodies, then returning to them later to incinerate them.
They believed he murdered the woman, and there wasn't anyone else around who could've killed the other victim, which only leaves accidental death and self-defence as alternatives to murder. The only open question is the timeline.
Either the man died first, accidentally or by being killed in self-defence (if you are to believe both Lynn and the jury), in which case the woman was "just another piece of evidence" to be destroyed, apparently out of fear for his credibility; or, he murdered the woman first, which would exclude the claim of self-defence, leaving only "an accident that immediately followed, but was unrelated to, the murder" as an alternative possibility for the man's death. Either way, he went to great lengths to conceal the deaths themselves, their causes, and all the events surrounding them, while claiming both were accidents.
The jury believed that he lied about the woman's death being accidental, because he murdered her, yet still considered him credible enough to buy the rest of his story?
They must've all been wearing yoga pants, because that's one hell of a stretch.
Thank you for the update Dr. Grande. 🌵
I’m impressed that the good doctor still appears balanced and rational after reciting so many bizarre stories of human depravity.
WTH is Wrong with people?
This is top-notch Dr Grande comedy.
Thank you for the video, Dr. Grande, I appreciate your analysis and your sense of humor!

This is just a theory…
Consistently generating an interesting dialogue in the comments….

At least he was well groomed.
Ok! Best comment!😂😂😂
Loved the Viagra joke. One thinks that 70-something folks would be beyond such sexually/emotional dramatic Shenanigan's, but no. It is, however, easy to believe that a 70-something man used his drone to spy on another man who had "camped too close" for his privacy and the whole thing escalates to violence.
Another theory is that the geriatric love birds wanted to have their little tryst next to the river but Lynn was already camped there causing tension. You would be surprised how much shagging goes on in these over 55 communities here in the states. There are catfights over men (if you can live to retirement home age there are plenty of thirsty octogenarian women to choose from) as well as STD outbreaks since no one is afraid of pregnancy. A lot of fancy retirement homes feel eerily like college dorms except everyone is absolutely old.
So, because of their age, they are NOT supposed to enjoy/have sex? That's the most ridiculous comment on this entire video! AGE has nothing to do with it, if they are physically able to function! I hope you live long enough to find out, then someone makes fun of you. SMH.
@@iffyangel3380do you have any reading comprehension? Cause that is not what the person said
@@Readytoflyhome if there's a reading comprehension problem, it's yours! Read the first 3 sentences again and perhaps you can see 70 year old are supposed to be beyond sexual shenanigans!
Many elderly people have very high sex drives. ..many don't need any blue pills either..I'm a nurse 💙 😉
If somebody is hunting in a campsite very near you, it’s time to pack up and leave! They were foolish and I’m sure Carol begged many times to get out of there poor lady
Poor lady? Old slapper more like

I found it very difficult to sympathize with anyone at all in this case.
I don't think you can choose who you fall in love with
@@Ktmfan450 What a load of shit. Get divorced then. Don't carry on a secret affair after promising to end it.
@@Ktmfan450That implies it’s impossible to self-regulate one’s emotions.
@@favouriteboy19 I don't think it's right to bash the victims
@@Ktmfan450 That’s a separate issue from your first comment. Either way, finding it difficult to sympathise with anyone in a true crime case isn’t the same as bashing the victims. It’s just recognising the fact that there may be no innocent party in a given case yet some will have worse outcomes than others.
My gut tells me that an argument turned into a double murder. Most people would move their camp when next to a unagreeable person, but some people like to egg the conflict on. However that is not everyone's personality, some people are so entitled to that spot they would be come murderous over it. Sad..
I doubt it. There are thousands of hectares to camp there. He was deliberately antagonistic and had planned to murder someone.
@@Blackheathenly yeah probably, he probably seen them as a easy target two elderly people. I think he is guilty of two murders, at least he got convicted of one. My gut tells me he is guilty of two however.
What gets me is you have the entire outback in a small population country and BOTH of these guys, decades in life under their belt, just HAD to go medieval. Surprised either one lived as long as they had without being taken out.
@@user-ov4mk9ox8y Yeah I agree. He act like a teen ager, they complain I am hunting too close to camp so let me go crank my music and exacerbate the situation more.. My opinion is he was looking for a fight, even by his own account of things. Then they are both murdered, and he covers it up.
@@Blackheathenly wasn't he there first and they decided to camp next to him?
Although in my opinion his story about how it happened is a lie, so I'm not sure how much faith we should put in any of the details he provided.
Of course he would likely try to make it as truthful as possible so that there is less evidence pointing out he is lying about the small detail.
"You will roo the day", lmao! groan!
This occurred in the Victorian highlands, more like the snowy mountains than the outback area of Australia. There have been other missing people who have not been located, I believe 4 of them, different ages, a few of them are experienced in navigating the area, many of them were solo at the time of their disappearance and all of them have yet to be located. These disappearances have occurred since 2016.
Greg Lynn is currently under investigation for the death of his first wife, his past behaviour has inklings of psychopathic tendencies such as the killing of animals when he was upset. I speculate that he could be a potential serial killer with what little information I have read about Lynn and the sad disappearances of these people who have yet to be found. I don't believe in coincidences and I find it interesting that the frequency of disappearances since 2016 has been reduced since he was locked up.
The only reason he got caught for these deaths is because the lady who was murdered had high social standing in her community as she was the president of the Country women's association.
I am writing this comment based on memory of what I have read over the years, so I may not be accurate with the terminology. Please look up about the multiple disappearances in this area as it is very unsettling and I'm sorry to the family and friends etc who still don't know what happened to their loved ones.
"high standing" ,in the Country women's association?
you really have to be kidding! they expelled here for having sex outside marriage.
You are right in most respects … but Mr Lynne made a major blunder with the phone . The geo location of the phone to the trailer … gave police their one very important and irrefutable clue . They knew that Hill was either in the trailer or the car as it was traveling along the Alpine Highway . All along they had one main suspect but frustratingly no body no weapon no motive … not enough until Greg Lynne broke and told them the location of the bodies . I agree with you this man could well have been a serial killer
I don't think that Carol Clay being the president of the CWA had anything to do with the police wanting to solve this case. Two missing people and a campsite that was destroyed by fire is a good enough reason. Very sad case. I feel so sorry for poor Robyn and her daughters.
@@judym323 Yes, I guess so, I wrote that comment rashly lol, I then reflected and wondered why the other cases haven't been solved and realised that there wasn't much evidence of foul play unlike this case where they had to match cctv footage etc, the others just vanished into the wilderness.
Ug from the title lol😬People are so bizarre. Funny quips and great analysis. Thanks Dr G😊💚💚
Awesome words from the Doctor as always
Doctor G's pronunciations of Australian placenames is impeccable. And may I add that the paint application by roller turned out surprisingly well.
Love the commentary and analysis.

The judge actually instructed the jury directly that they could not consider manslaughter. Hence, the not guilty result for Russell Hill's murder.
1st thing I thought of when I first heard of this a few years ago is that camp site was the favorite spot for both of them, and it just so happened they both turned up at the same time and neither was budging. I have come across such people when camping in the bush and its best to pack up and find another spot.
Amazing.We lock up our homes to sleep in safety.then we go camping in unlocked tents etc.
This is so much better than your last video on the topic. Just a few things you missed. I have an issue with how in his fictitious story he could be attacked by a knife and not have any defensive wounds. Additionally what you might not know is the prosecution botched the case. The prosecutor made 16 errors which caused multiple facts to be excluded from the jury. Additionally a great deal of his confession and tapes were ruled inadmissible because the police were too cruel towards him. The last thing that you missed is that it came out on secret recordings that he owned a trigger lock for his firearms so it was impossible for anyone else to fire them.
thank you dr grande.
this story has been everywhere in
the media in australia.
a multitude of opinions voiced by
armchair detectives have clouded the waters.
i think your clinical conclusion is
spot on.
well done.
No way he accidentally pulled the trigger if it was pointed straight at her head.
To summarize: Two bullies meet up in the forest and end up in a fight to the death that also claims the life of a loose woman.
Sounds about right
Looser in more ways than 1👵🏻👵🏻
@@SpaceKhajiit So you're saying I got the facts wrong, or that you don't like the words I used to describe the facts? Because from what I can see watching this video, both these men were disagreeable jerks and the lady was knowingly engaging in an affair with a man that had been married for decades. That makes her an adultress, or colloquially, a loose woman. I'm not offended by her behavior. I'm just the fact that she was knowingly engaged in immoral sexual activity. Honestly, you seem like the one that's offended here.
So the man's not loose. Just the woman. Got it
@@slideoff666 I mean all three of them were pretty scummy in the end.

Well documented Dr Grande I think you explained what happened clearly. You nailed it.👍
"Pitched a tent"? Bah!!!
If you are out in the wop wops and someone is becoming a bit aggressive or causing trouble then pack up your stuff and leave.
“You will roo the day”……OMG….I actually laughed OUT LOUD 😂😂
I would love to see Dr. Grande do an analysis of Inside Out and Inside Out 2.
Russel may have been a cheater but he did not deserve to be murdered by a stranger.
The jury was specifically instructed that they could not make a manslaughter finding - they could only find him guilty or not guilty of first degree murder of Russel and Carol. Lynn took a high-risk strategy of confessing to the disposal of the bodies and suggested that all of his suspicious behaviour could be accounted for by him trying to cover up this crime. It was conceivable that he killed Russell by accident or during a fight but it was not conceivable that he killed Carol by accident.
The jury was out for a week and at one point checked with the judge that they could find Lynn guilty of one count and not guilty of the other count of murder. They were only allowed to consider evidence put before them in the court; there were probably many details that for one reason or another did not make it into the court room.
Lynn was so efficient in his disposal of the bodies that only a fragment of one of Carol's bones was found. Finding someone guilty of murder beyond reasonable doubt is so hard in a case like this. All power to the police and forensic teams who did an incredible job to get a conviction for Carol's murder.
And all respect for Russel's widow who has been nothing but dignified during this whole process having to face not only her husband's meaningless death but also discovering his cheating and knowing it was being discussed worldwide. Even once the case was over, she said she bore Carol no ill will and was relieved that Lynn had at least been convicted of her death.
Excellent comments. Good on you.
Someone mentioned Dr Grande's "..deadpan" deliveries! They are so right..and thedeliveries are SO DEADPAN..that it is hard to believe Dr Grande evrn knows what he just said! 😂😂😂
Dr. Grande… King of Puns. He could have his own sitcom lol.
Just over the past 2 weeks I have taken the train across Australia from Perth to Adelaide and then onto Melbourne. Beautiful country, but I did not see any randy 70-somethings 🤣
That you knew of… 😒
Did you see anyone blowing their didgeridoo?
They were acting under cover!
I hope the wronged wife gets insurance money and is happy to be rid of the jerk and the cheating female.
Speaking of randy Australian senior citizens, how about commenting on the recent case of retired philosophy professor John Forge? Very interesting case. I'm already speculating about what could have happened in a situation like his...
Now that I'm 70, what I realize is, how did I get to this number? It's kind of amusing and, for sure, almost unbelievable.
Anyway, as we are human, people do continue to be stubborn and willful, and I guess you could say sinful, until they die. We hope to become better people as we age, and maybe we do, but there are flaws which sometimes never go away. Such is life.
Your research from outside of Australia is elite ! Not even our State Police missing person's squad, TV & radio stations released that much information that you have found ! We have several more missing from that valley during other years ! Could you solve those for us ? Keep looking !
Always interesting
Thank you ❤
Excellent humor
Oh my I’m camping right now 😮
thank you for covering this case Dr grande ❤ love from aus
Too many creepy ppl around😢😢😢
Painting your car with house paint and a roller is wild af 😂
I think this was a case of two very objectionable men and their ego's colliding in a very remote place with disastrous outcomes. I know you don't want to victim blame but old Russell had a bit of a history too. Numerous people reported feeling their privacy invaded by him with his drone, one couple said he flew down near their tent and they bemusedly waved at the camera. He had spent much of his career in the area, made some of the trails and tracks, and it seems felt some kind of entitlement over the place - people report him driving like a cranky old bugger, frown on his face, leaving dust trails near tents, driving fast, driving slow and blocking lanes, not returning waves. He came up and camped almost on top of Lynn because that was "his spot", despite all the space and wilderness around. He followed Lynn with his drone when Lynn went out hunting, told him he would report his violations to police when they left. Greg Lynn in turn provoked Russell with loud music and from there a confrontation has escalated. Greg Lynn sounds like he was an angry man, could commit acts of violence, and no doubt escalated out of proportion, but it must be said he didn't go up there to kill anyone, he was keeping to himself in an isolated spot, and this old guy has turned up, camped next to him, got in his face, and a conflict bubbled for a couple of days. They were the kinds of men who should not have encountered each other in such a situation. This may be why he wasn't found guilty of Russels murder, the jury thought it should have been manslaughter. However he then killed Carol Clay to remove a witness, outright murder. Police swooped on Greg Lynn while he was camping in a remote place because with their audio bugs they thought he was about to end himself. He was crying, having a breakdown, talking about self harm. They wanted to surveil him longer but this forced their hand to arrest him immediately. They didn't want to lose the subject of their investigation.
You were a bit rough on the victims, Dr Grande.
No one deserves to be brutally murdered.
Hmmm….?
@@Mambojambo157 pretty sure they mean the humor was a bit overboard.
Just jokes, lighten up lol. The problem is you always hear people painting victims as saints simply because they are victims. And they were certainly no saints, a bit like you and me you know. No one is.
@@cz964 well duh, captain obvious 🙄 victims aren’t perfect because no one is. No one said they were. It’s still possible for someone to go overboard with jokes about someone dying in a tragic way. Did you even read the person’s comment that you’re so smartly contradicting 😅 not the brightest crayon in the box, eh? 😂
The cheaters always die, you should know this by now
Greg just couldn't handle any more of "creak-creak-creaking" sound. It probably sounded like two very passionate people cracking their knuckles.
I love Dr. Grande!!! ❤
Good story but your dead pan humor kills! You do a great job of delivering the goods.😂
Great stuff Dr Grande ❤
I'm 67 years old these ones hit hard😮😂😅
I live in Caroline Springs, his first wife died from alcohol/drugs yet she wasn't a drinker. G.Lynn was also involved with a woman when living in Dubai, the woman hasn't been since.
Very good Doc
The whole story..
Eww, just eww.😖
