As Jeremy has indicated he's content for discussion to continue, I'll share the thoughts I deleted previously. I posted a long time ago about the question of how David travelled from Piccadilly to Greenfield, and others have now picked up on this too. The documentary glossed over this aspect...
I've deleted my earlier post as I've now seen that David's brother is reading the thread, and it doesn't feel very respectful or sensitive to continue to speculate about something that is obviously very painful for him.
There are a couple of things about this case that don't seem consistent with the suicide theory, imo.
Firstly, the man specifically asked the pub landlord for the top of the mountain, but he was found some way short of that. I know it would have been dark by the time he got to the place he was...
I think this is the key question. As I've said before, I think it's because the police, for technical reasons, are fairly sure the phone was in the lorry. Why else would the lorry even have been on the radar at such an early stage of the investigation? And at the same time they have concluded...
It's an intriguing idea. However, although I think the location must have had a significance for him, the fact that he referred to it as 'the mountain' suggests to me that he hadn't grown up there. There might have been a family connection, of course.
The thing that surprises me about this case is the lack of discussion about how the man got from Piccadilly to Greenfield, and why the journey wasn't seen on cctv.
He could have got a train from Piccadilly , changing at Stalybridge, and this would probably have been the best option. But...
Something that strikes me is how early on in the investigation the bin lorry was identified. I'm inclined to think there was a reason for this, and I do think it is likely that Corrie's phone was in it, though he was not.
So here's one potential scenario which both accommodates that and...
I'm surprised this is the first I've heard of this case, because I am a year older than Ruth and grew up not far away; in fact one of my friends from school lived in Betchworth.
The ordering of the bouquet does suggest an element of planning. However, I wonder if the decision to disappear...
I agree with Chandler that the case is (now) unbeatable.....largely because pretty much all the theories about this case have sought to identify a suspect first, then fit the motive around them, rather than start by asking the fundamental question of why Julia Wallace was killed.
Personally...
I also found the video odd. The spelling mistakes suggest it wasn't made by anyone who knew either London or Doncaster well. The assertion that there were only 2 routes Andrew could have taken from Covent Garden is just plain wrong: he could also have headed through Seven Dials to Shaftesbury...
