Thank you for replying.Hi,
Thank you for your interest. The house was not broken into. However, this does not indicate it being someone Ann Heron knew, merely that there was not a broken door, window etc. It is more plausible that it was a random and opportunist attack as the connection with the blue car seen speeding from the drive (that was not the lover's husband) was no one they actually knew/ could identify as knowing. The point made about the dog barking was ludicrous - how would anyone actually know if it bared or not? The house was isolated so a dog could have barked and there was noone to actually hear. The family collie was traumatised after the attack but this, sadly could have been due to it being threatened or beaten - unfortunately, we will never actually know.
The last know sighting of Ann alive was 15.25 from the observer on the bus, however, this is a dubious sighting. The last known interaction was at 14.40 with her friend on the phone.
The movements mentioned were taken from a cumulation of sources from the statements. There was nothing sinister about the repositioning due to the tractor.
Hope this clarifies things.
The mention of the dog not barking by the police is definitely an odd statement, particularly as they don't appear to have any evidence to back it up.
On the second point about Ann having to move to the front of the house to sunbathe, nearer the road, because a tractor nearby had been blowing grass towards the back garden. Why is the sighting from the bus considered dubious? Also, do you know why the police stated the time of this sighting was around 3.30pm, yet PH's daughter said it was at 2pm?
Finally, on the subject of PH's route after the meeting to his office in Middleton St. George via the village of Croft-on-Tees. I have followed this route on google maps and it is mostly countryside, i would imagine that traffic is fairly light on these roads so i am struggling to understand how there can be any witnesses to support his account that he had driven that way home that afternoon.
You have stated previously that PH had witnesses that afternoon to prove where he was between 2 - 6pm, how many witnesses were there to confirm his route back to the office between 4.30 - 5pm?
TIA
