Due to the interest in Graeme Crowley’s podcast series Bring Home SANDRINE, also featured on the Missing Sandrine Jourdan Facebook page, I’ve been reviewing messages between Brad Ainsworth and I, as well as other items of interest, and I have found some interesting points that I feel I should share.
I will make it plain what I have concrete evidence of, what I was told verbally, and what is my opinion.
To be clear, I considered Brad Ainsworth, the man that I suspect had something to do with Sandrine’s disappearance, a ‘friend’ up until the day, and a few days after, Sandrine disappeared. The reason for the breakdown in our relationship is due to my belief that Brad had something to do with her disappearance. Bradley’s behaviour before Sandrine’s disappearance was beginning to disgust me, but I am not sharing this information because we had a falling out, I want to share whatever I possibly can because I want to help find Sandrine. And truly, Sandrine deserved so much better than the filthy slander Brad Ainsworth has dished out at her expense.
Sandrine was a very special person; kind, loving, honest to her own detriment, funny, talented and brave, and she is irreplaceable.
If you have any information at all, if it be Facebook messages, emails, texts, anything at all that you have with regard to Sandrine OR any persons of interest around that time, the 13th July 2012, please contact Graeme Crowley, his contact details are available on his Bring Home Sandrine podcast. Please share what you know.

Established and verifiable facts regarding Sandrine’s disappearance
*Sandrine was last seen on Friday the 13th of July 2012
*Between 5 pm – 5:30 pm
*At Tomlinson Road Caboolture Queensland.
*Last reported sighting of Sandrine was by her friend John Boegheim at Tomlinson Road address.
*Sandrine told family she was headed to a Buddhist Retreat (Brad claimed he was going with Sandrine to a drum retreat on the ACA program ‘Missing Mum’, Sandrine told her family she was going to a Buddhist retreat that day, this discrepancy is important)
*The day that Sandrine disappeared was Brad Ainsworth’s birthday
*Brad was furious with Sandrine the day she disappeared
*Brad has changed his alibi for the 13th of July 2012, the day that Sandrine disappeared, several times
How is Brad changing his alibi several times a fact? Let me show you.
Evidence
When the police called me on the 17th of July 2012 asking if I had seen or heard from Sandrine, my first instinct was to call her phone, there was no answer. I left a message for Sandrine but she didn’t call me back.
The second person I contacted was Brad Ainsworth. Why? Because Sandrine spoke to me about Brad being angry with her while she was staying at my house, and on the day she went missing Bradley Ainsworth was absolutely furious with Sandrine. Brad did not mention that he was taking Sandrine to any retreat at all, but he told me, in our Facebook messages, that he was going to talk to her that day, and he said he was going to sort things out with Sandrine ‘once and for all’.
This evidence can be verified. (Please note the time on these messages)

I am gonna talk to Sandrine now and find out the WHOLE story once and for all.
Majic Mirra Friday, July 13, 2012 at 8:41am UTC+10
…This might be JUST the time to ask her a few things. She s probably told you more than me.
If you’ve been following my ‘Missing Sandrine Jourdan’ blogs the Facebook message exchange between Brad Ainsworth (AKA Majic Mirra) and I is not news to you, but the messages after the 13th of July are of interest.

Hey BRad, how are you? I’ve had the police calling about Sandrine.. her brother’s reported her missing.. have you heard from her at all?
Majic Mirra Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 12:33pm UTC+10
No I havent…been on camp all weekend. Will try and contact her now.
Majic Mirra Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 8:23pm UTC+10
Have you heard anything about Sandrine? I have tried everything I think of.
Pieta Morgan Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 8:26pm UTC+10
No I haven’t heard, I felt obligated, because her brother reported her as missing, to give the officer her number… but he asked about chenrezig, apparently at one time she was talking to her brother about staying there. The officer said he was looking into it and asked me if I knew anything.. She hasn’t returned my call either. Hope she’s ok, poor honey.

Any Sandrine yet?
When I wrote to Brad of news that Sandrine had told her brother that she was going to stay at Chenrezig Brad did not reply. Is that a big deal? Yes, yes it is; because Brad was living at Chenrezig. Chenrezig is a Buddhist retreat. https://www.chenrezig.com.au/
At the time Sandrine disappeared the only person I knew that had anything at all to do with a Buddhist retreat was Bradley Ainsworth, because he’d been living at Chenrezig Buddhist Retreat at Eudlo on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland for approximately 6 months. Brad Ainsworth had mentioned the Chenrezig Buddhist retreat to me many times. This fact is verifiable. Please see direct messages from Brad Ainsworth below.
It was widely reported in the media at the time that Sandrine had plans to go to a Buddhist retreat, (please see screenshots below). But Brad Ainsworth never did tell me about their plans that day, he never did express that he wondered why Sandrine would go to the place where he was living, the Buddhist retreat, he simply did not comment on this part of the inquiry at all.
Brad’s Alibis
1. Brad made this statement “And I was at Mums all morning the day she went missing, At Dazs place all arvo and at Kilcoy all weekend after.” – the fact that this statement was made is verifiable.
2. When I asked Brad Ainsworth where he was the day Sandrine disappeared he told me that he was at his “mum and dad’s all day” and “Yeah I went to Kilcoy on my birthday, it was midnight. I got there about midnight.”– the fact that this statement was made is verifiable.
3. What does Daz have to say about Brad’s alibi? “i do know this… on the 13th of july 2012, the accused [Bradley Ainsworth] was at my house from between about midday until about 4:30-5pm…” -the fact that Daz made this statement is verifiable (To be very clear, I know Daz and his words are not in question).
4. What did Brad tell Sandrine’s family about his timeline that day? I have a screenshot of Sandrine’s sister, Christine, who wrote;
5. More news from Daz after his partner at the time, Lish, spoke to the police. Daz made this statement on the 11th of December 2013, nearly 18 months after Sandrine disappeared. The police did not seek Daz and Lish’s statements, it was Lish who took the time to speak to police. Daz’s comments also speak to what the police believe:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
It’s a lot to process but Daz and Lish’s story is consistent and Daz has given this timeline previously as above. And yes, I probably did ‘unfriend’ Daz and Lish from Facebook, SORRY DAZ and LISH! And many thanks for the permission to share this post!
The important thing to glean from Daz’s statement to the drumming camp is that Daz and Lish were allegedly not contacted by police to confirm or deny Brad’s alibi, Lish had to contact the police herself. It’s strange, don’t you think? If Lish had to contact the police herself, nearly 18 months later, that indicates to me that either, 1. Brad didn’t tell the police that he was visiting Daz and Lish from around midday to dusk in Kallangur on the 13th of July 2012, the day Sandrine disappeared, OR, 2. the police neglected to substantiate that part of Brad’s timeline. Either way, the time frame of Sandrine’s disappearance that the police gave Lish conflicts with the verifiable, established facts! Sandrine was last seen at between 5 pm and 5:30 pm, not 3pm-ish.
In Australia a July dusk is early, and I would like you to see a screen shot of of exactly what time dusk, or sundown was at Murrumba Downs, (this is the closest town to Kallangur that I could find historical weather data for), which is 1.7 kilometres or 1 mile from Daz’s house, on the 13th of July 2012:
Sundown, as you can see, was at 5:13 pm that day, and it was around sundown as Lish reported to the police, that Brad Ainsworth left their house. And how far away was Sandrine at Tomlinson Rd Caboolture from where Brad was that afternoon? Only 26 minutes!
If Bradley Ainsworth has given you a version of his timeline for the 13th of July 2012 that differs from his other timelines as above, (verifiable emails or messages are particularly helpful) please forward that evidence to Graeme Crowley, his contact details are available on his podcast, here; https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/638bf17cfcf6a500114ad805
If Brad Ainsworth was at Daz and Lish’s house from around midday until dusk on the day that Sandrine disappeared, as Daz said, how did the police have a photo of Brad that was taken in the late afternoon hours at his parent’s house, quote “based on the daylight in the shots”? Especially if it there was ‘moderate rain’ that day as cloudiness affects the natural sunlight making it impossible to tell from a photo what time it is!
And if Brad left Kallangur at dusk, how could he have made it to his parents house in Warner, 24 minutes away, in time to have a photo taken with any natural light at all?
How on earth could Steve Watts, the officer in charge of Sandrine’s case, have made that determination? And the biggest question; if Brad has a photo that gives him a rock-solid alibi why won’t he share it? We really need to see that photo Brad!
Tomlinson Road is directly parallel and accessible from the D’Aguilar highway, and according to Whereis.com it would have been the fastest route one would take if they were already 30 hours late for their own birthday party! Brad would have had to go way out of his way to have traveled to Kilcoy any other way than directly past Tomlinson Road, directly past where Sandrine was staying on the day she disappeared.
I’d like to thank Graeme Crowley for his efforts to bring attention to Sandrine’s disappearance. It’s shocking to me to find out that so many people hadn’t heard about her case. Graeme has brought attention to Sandrine’s Case in a huge way and opened the door to many points that I was hesitant to speak about previously.
If you have any information at all, if it be Facebook messages, emails, texts, anything at all that you have with regard to Sandrine OR any persons of interest around that time, the 13th July 2012, please contact Graeme Crowley, his contact details are available on his Bring Home Sandrine podcast. Please share what you know. Let’s work together to find Sandrine!
