Piecing Together the Puzzle: Karl's Deductions

Detective Karl Jenkins begins to connect the dots in the investigation, forming a theory about Jamie and Kain's potential collaboration and the significance of Kain's missing ute.

In a moment of quiet contemplation, Detective Karl Jenkins begins to piece together the sparse information gathered during the investigation. His mind churns through the evidence, attempting to form a cohesive narrative from the disjointed facts.
  Karl considers the possibility that Jamie's financial moves – emptying his savings and withdrawing a large sum from his credit card – could indicate a plan to lay low locally, potentially sidestepping his troubled relationship with Luke. The fact that Jamie left his car behind suggests that he may not have ventured far, raising questions about his true intentions.
  As Karl's thoughts progress, he has a sudden realization about Kain's role in the disappearances. Recalling Louise's mention of Kain's missing ute, Karl theorises that Kain might be actively assisting Jamie. The missing vehicle provides a means of transportation without the need for Jamie's own car, allowing them to execute whatever plan they have in mind.
  Karl's newfound clarity leads him to believe that finding Kain is the key to locating Jamie. He shares his insights with Sarah, emphasising Jamie's skills in going off the grid and the necessity of using Kain as a lead. The scene showcases Karl's analytical prowess and his ability to connect seemingly disparate pieces of information to form a plausible theory.
