Very interesting the differences between the rr book one and two.
I can only think it must be due the volumous length required to incorporate all info from both as time added to it.
As per the discussion -
W.-
So yes, how many suspects did not cooperate and were not cleared?
There came a time though when LE could get a warrant for a DNA sample. Brennan/Atkins has done time for crimes against children. A warrant would be easy.
A dna warrant would still be justifiable right now imo. That need not have ended based on the previous info. Its a new day in forensics, the problem with lie detector tests well known. Has a dna test ever been performed on Brennan? There are genetic family members likely still alive if not he himself. A handwriting comparison? Anything?
I have viewed the 5th estate segment a few times and have noted the theme the pi was saying about the investigation being delayed compromised and sidetracked due the focus on GPM. The "note" from rr one furthers that by portraying GPM as definitely being guilty and someone else "knows" that for sure. Just like the prison informers from trial one claiming he confessed to the crime. The Police were actively engaged in setting up an innocent man. They knew he had a receipt to account for his whereabouts at the crutial time on that day. Yet they put informants up to testifying to this?
While at the same time they let a very viable suspect (Brennan) off the hook based on so little?
The car left on that property is a new piece to us but has been know to investigators since day one. Well actually since before CJ's remains were found. Had Police not visited the scene earlier on to investigate vandalism of the trailer? The car was parked there then too was it not? Would they not have questioned the same in regard to that crime as we are now for CJ? The original vandals knew and some member of the Durham detachment must have also known no one resided or watched that property and knew that car to be of no effect.
Its all about connections and modern forensics could still prove most helpful. A phone call away? Not likely. Unfortunately the Police alone hold the ability to pick and chose who is invetigated and tested or not. Not being the opperative word here imo.
No matter what anyone thinks or believes about how or where CJ was taken from that day, it happened and it was successful. The 5th estate story draws attention and interest once again to a very sad chapter that isn't and shouldn't just be forgotten. It isn't going away and it is up to Law enforcement to step up to the plate or remove themselves and call in an outside force. I agree with the pi, it is still solvable, ( if the politics can be straightened out.)
If there was a member of the Durham Police force who knew of the Sunderland location by way of the vandalism previously reported and who was related to the boys sexually molesting CJ, he and that detachment were (are) in a conflict of interest position. This entire case should be reinvestigated by all rights if that is true. It is still justified by the appearance of an apparent conflict whether that had any bearing or not. I personally trust nothing that has been said or done to date by any of the official investions. Others who have looked and folowed this case have come to similar conclusions. The case has been so completely botched yet Law enforcement continues to rely on what was obtained by that investigation. Numerous potentially viable suspects have been named already but what is being done with that or about that? It appears the answer is nothing. This must be addressed and a means sought to get beyond that if CJ is ever going to see justice.
Kudos to the 5th for the renewed attention..
