Hi JudgeM
It was early days that MIT took over so Wheatley must be with them.
The date's in one of the days of testimony , something like end of April.
He wasn't officially declared a suspect until late June ( 2 months after the dog alerts) but yes I think most of us reading between the lines of the Guardian piece in May 2015, felt that it was suggestive, of having a suspect in mind and applying pressure.
It seemed that way to me and I def won't be the only one.
I can only think that they were trying to put some pressure on him at same time as hoping for witnesses - I don't know - waiting for him to make a move?
12 days before that was published he refused a search and he had engaged a whole raft of psychiatric services.
Almost a whole month before, he'd denied getting into HB's accounts to change standing orders on apr 11th.
So they must have been very suspicious. Maybe it's also a case of what retired DCI(?) Shotton said on C5 - police have to observe certain protocols until there is more evidence, with loved ones of Misper cases etc.
he was also saying that he was mentally and physically fragile etc
