00:00
Good evening, there's a real mix of shock, devastation and even anger in Ballarat here
00:07
tonight.
00:08
For the first time since a man has been charged with murder over the disappearance of Samantha
00:12
Murphy, the community has come together.
00:16
There are hundreds of people lining up to sign a condolence book for Samantha's loved
00:20
ones and this memorial garden is an important place for the community.
00:24
It's where volunteers gathered before they went to search for Samantha over the past
00:27
few weeks.
00:28
Tonight, it's where they've come to grieve.
00:30
Many of them didn't even know the mother of three, but they've been deeply impacted.
00:35
Take a listen to what some of them had to say.
00:37
I think it was really important for the community to come together and support each other and
00:44
just for the family to know that the community is behind them.
00:47
I suppose it's sort of a relief in a funny way for people that there's finally an answer
00:52
to where she is.
00:53
After people have left Fowers and signed the condolence book, there will be a formal part
00:58
of the evening.
00:59
The Mayor will give a speech to the community before they all light up their phones in solidarity
01:04
to honour a woman who touched so many lives.
