After months of keeping quiet about the death of Warriena Wright and the Tinder date that took such a tragic turn, Gable Tostee has spent much of his time since his acquittal commenting on the case.
First it was the much-anticipated interview with 60 Minutes, in which Tostee spoke for the first time about Wright’s death and his interpretation of the events that unfolded prior to Wright’s tragic fall. He was reportedly paid a six-figure sum for partaking in the interview.
A mere weeks after the interview aired, and little over a month since his ‘not guilty’ verdict was announced, he has commented on the case once again. This time Tostee, who is now known by the name Eric Thomas, has joined a Facebook discussion group about the death of Wright, answering questions about his own case with no price tag attached.
The closed group, maxxed out at just over 5000 members, sees members of the public pose questions about the parts of the case that niggled at them the most, seeking clarification from the 30-year-old about what actually transpired that fateful night in August 2014.
When asked about why Ms. Wright's phone was in his pocket after she fell to her death from the Gold Coast apartment, Tostee wrote that he "didn't know" how it ended up there.
"Only reason I can think of is that I took it by mistake as I rushed out of the apartment I didn't even realise I had it until later when I was in the car. It was turned in to police later that day and forensically examined for signs of tampering obviously," he wrote.

With his track record combined with the tragic death of this young woman, i am surprised people support this guys actions so much. Sure, he was acquitted, i agree he didn't murder her, but he certainly played a part in her death.
He needs to shut up and show some damn respect for her family.
I'm supporting our legal system, not the guy. Our legal system, a Judge and Jurors said he is was not guilty of anything and still the social media witch hunt goes on.
It seems many people cannot see beyond personal prejudice and could show "some damn respect" as well in my opinion.
I don't have to show any respect to a guy that called a lawyer instead of an ambulance.
I was asking for our legal system to receive respect, not the guy.
Our legal system is a joke. Eg: Too many violent offenders out on bail who have gone on to murder people.
For the love of GOD, can we stop giving him the publicity oxygen.
