UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

why would the risk of being heard be lower second time round? It was only a short time later.

Because we know no one did hear them, so the witness/es who saw them talking on the doorstep were no longer there by the time Alistair came back.

Another problem with the envelope is how did the gunman know AW would bring it back out with him?

We don't know if he did. Maybe he thought he'd bungled it and was walking away when Alistair reappeared and called him back? I don't think it was immediate that Veronica heard the shots.

(Speculation)

The odd thing about today's developments is the extent of the team being committed to the new investigation. The normal procedure is for a case review by a senior officer followed by a decision on whether there is any basis for further work. Unless such a case review has taken place but not been mentioned what has been announced goes against protocol. It suggests they have some new information to support further work.
