From The Mirror.
November 20: Grace Millane arrives in New Zealand from Peru. She had been in nearly daily contact with her family.
November 30: Ms Millane posts her last tweet saying 'I think travelling has changed me I just brought some blue jeans.'
December 1: Ms Millane is seen on CCTV leaving a hotel in Auckland at 7.15pm. ... She is seen at the CityLife Hotel, in Auckland, with a 'male companion' at 9.40pm.
December 2: The 22-year-old's birthday. Her family do not hear anything from her, which is unusual behaviour. Just before noon, a red Toyota Corolla is hired from a central Auckland rental firm.
December: 3: The Toyota Corolla is returned, and eventually rented out again to persons unrelated to the investigation
December 5: Her worried family file a missing persons report and pictured of Ms Millane are shared extensively online.
December 7: Police said they had received dozens of calls to a hotline and more than 25 staff were working on the case, trawling through hours of CCTV footage to trace her movements. After arriving in Auckland her father, David Millane, makes an emotional plea for help finding his daughter. Police reveal they have spoken to the male companion and he is a person of interest. The man was not taken into custody and police said there was no evidence of foul play.
December 8: A 26-year-old man is taken into custody at a central Auckland address by police. The red Toyota is located in the town of Taupo
December 9: Police announce they are searching an area on Scenic Drive, near the Waitakere Reservoir. Shortly after 4pm local time (3am GMT), police find a body believed to be Ms Millane in vegetation around ten yards from the road. A 26-year-old man is charged with her murder.
December 10: The accused, 26, appears in court in Auckland. He does not enter a plea.
Have made a couple of edits to remove names.
WRT the Corolla, I got the impression from reports it had been dumped at Taupo. Appears it was located there with the next hirers, as no doubt the cops wanted to forensically examine it. Slight red herring.
I think NZH and stuff did put up articles like this. But they were lost in the flood of wailing and shaming articles

@jegga Grace could have been her daughter...did she know the father?
Having seen her in clubs in Wellington 22 years ago I doubt it.

Ok at least to her credit she did say it's not a them vs us argument....
The rest is very 'Me, Me, Me' though

This article is taking a slightly different angle than most of the others....

Fuck I hate 'celebrity' grandstanding for some column inches.
It could have been any NZer who went on an OE in their early 20s, because travelling overseas in cities and countries you aren't familiar with, alongside people you don't know, always carries risks.

@chris-b I would be infinitely happier if the govt announced they were sinking $36m into bolstering mental health resources and services and targeted community outreaches rather than trying to send a few people into Pike River mine. Just saying.

Pike River is just starting to fuck me off now.
How many of our Granddads mates ( or in some cases our Granddads themselves ) were lost in the war never to return to NZ ? Unfortunately these things happen.
Again, a fucken tragedy but I think entering the mine is a colossal waste of money and an unnecessary risk.

The day ain't over yet. Being a straight white male it's inevitable you'll probably rape someone before tea time.

I had a cheeky wee rape this morning, and I've felt so ashamed today. I'd gone a good six months rape free, (except for the odd one at a party, but everyone was doing it) and I'd really turned the corner and thought I'd gotten all the raping cravings out of my system.
Oh well, I'm rape free from here on. I know I've got the willpower to do it and I just need to think "men have to be better!"
Pray for me peeps, support me. Giving up raping is harder than it looks

This is a horrible article from Alison Mau, she really is a narcissistic piece of work.
A couple of things:
- Does she really think the court orders name suppression against the family's wishes? Name suppression is granted you fucking idiot, in cases like this usually to protect children.
- With that in mind she actually went to the crime scene to try and find out more. Wow.
- She thinks Grace Milane only got so much attention because she is white. Given half the hysteria around this case has been from her, her feminist sisters and our PM politicising the hell out of it, maybe check with them why this one mattered so much?
- She actually notes that Maori and Pacific Island women are more likely to be victims. Just needs to take one more step and she'll get to the elephant in the room that @jegga noted. But she won't, because it won't suit her bullshit narrative.
There is more bullshit points she makes which are easily pulled apart but that will do for now.
I think this is one of the worst, most ill-thought out articles I've ever read.

I wonder how many column inches her death is still getting in England?
The politicising and grandstanding of some opinionists in our local 'media' is pathetic and getting extremely shameful.

It's been shameful since day one, I'm genuinely staggered it's still going on though.....we've had a solid fucken week of it! Enough already.

Look mate, scandals involving the prime minister being linked to a Czech drug dealing hells angels associate who is currently in prison and who’s ex wife is so afraid of him she’s in hiding in a safe house don’t get out of the news cycle by themselves. Until she can get some photos up online of Baby Neve in her first Xmas outfits this has to do .
