According to witness accounts, the Irish-born pensioner spent the afternoon of December 16, 2017 at the Pink Panther Hotel.

It’s estimated Paddy drank about 10 mid-strength beers over a number of sweltering hours, just a couple of cans above his daily average.

As the sun was setting, he fired up his red quad bike and departed, his kelpie riding shotgun.

A few hundred metres from the pub, in his own home, police say evidence confirms Paddy microwaved some leftover chicken for his kelpie and prepared some frozen dim sims for himself.

And then, with no sign of a struggle or suggestion of a planned exit, the man and his red dog were gone.

If there’s one thing that unites the estranged residents of this place, it’s that they all believe Paddy is dead, most probably killed.

Why are they so convinced there’s been foul play?

To understand that, you have to understand Paddy Moriarty.

And you need to understand an isolated spot where emotions run high, feuds run long, and personalities are larger than life.

Until they’re not.

And when something goes wrong, it can go wrong on a spectacular scale.

As publican Barry Sharpe puts it: “10 people live in this town; to my way of thinking, one of them’s a murderer.”
