Pakenham tragedy

Police have told us the body of Tina Smithson has been found. The Pakenham woman went missing in late January.
Some readers expressed doubt - or maybe I should say disbelief - that Smithson had fallen through the ice of a creek near her home and was swept away.
Hopefully this provides a bit of closure for the community.

  1. "fallen" or pushed?

  3. Has there been any word on the post-mortem examination? It might help those of us who are having difficulty putting Tina to rest if the results from the inquest were made public knowledge! some of us are not satisfied with the accident theory nor are some of us who knew her, willing to swallow the notion of speculated suicide!

  4. Tina was an incredible woman. I miss her everyday! She had been living with Huntington's Disease for a number of years before the incident, which may have influenced her judgement of safety that day. She loved life!
