I think your spot is incorrect.Someone was familiar with the area. They felt comfortable enough to dump the body without being spotted. What time would have that been?
They could have dumped the body anywhere in there, but they chose that spot.

Why after 22 years has there not been a Coroners Inquiry into his abduction and murder? Daniel Morcome's father has advocated for an Inquiry to bring out information.
There was the suggestion that they thought they knew who abducted and murdered him, but this divided the investigators. Could it be a cops son, Vernon Silich who was living in Rockingham at the time was a suspect?
He certainly was a violent and criminal who killed eventually kicked to death both his mother and father at a later date. (Said he was sleepwalking with his steel capped boots on!)
Anyhow no excuses at all to have not had a Coroners Inquest.
Still haven't been able to find anything about this death on a front lawn in Rockingham.I wonder how old the suspect was with the model aeroplanes? And what was the circumstances of the murder on his lawn years before?

Drug deal perhaps? Or something else?He might have seen something he shouldn't have and threatened to tell, as kids will sometimes do without thinking. Perhaps near the public toilet block.

Gerard and his family lived in the Pilbara town of Newman but were on holidays in Rockingham, staying at 105 Kent Street.
The last confirmed sighting of Gerard was "in the vicinity" of 99 Kent Street, just a few doors down.
Who killed Gerard Ross? 20 years on, his killer is still out there
Twenty years ago, an 11-year-old boy on his way to a comic book shop was snatched from a Rockingham street on a sunny Monday morning and murdered.www.watoday.com.au
His last known sighting was 5 houses away. This looks like he was targeted. He didn't get far. How far was the comic store?
A last sighting does not mean that was where he was abducted from. IMO it would be a mistake to make that assumption. Kids move fast and they take random actions, he could have decided to go another way or seen something that took his interest and run up another street.
Or a shortcut over fences.
