yet hiding a sordid layer behind the facade...
fascinating...

I'm going from memory but didn't CJ buy the flat from SJ in 2001 ie seven years before SJ was convicted?
I'd like to know who was in the flat immediately prior to JY and GR taking it though.
Yes, I agree that can be true of some people. The difficulty in this case is that nobody has a bad word to say about VT.
When a suspect is named in other murder investigations, it's not long before the press start discovering previous convictions, suspicious conversations, unexplained movements and so on. And if there's nothing factual to report, it doesn't take them long to find a few unattributable comments to sully the name of the suspect - as happened to CJ, of course.
In the case of VT, all of the comments are positive, without exception. We here try to think of possible reasons or opportunities he might have had, often based on incomplete evidence of his movements, or suppositions that he might have completely changed character for one dreadful moment.
But the fact remains that he is currently innocent, and other explanations for JY's death are possible.
CJ bought the flat from SJ in 1999 when he moved away from Bristol. I don't recall reading who rented it between then and GR/JY.
Here's an article about the tenants of VT's flat and their experience of CJ as a landlord:

into this setting you have the murder of a young, privately-educated girl;exceptionally bad weather for the uk; the press, the landlord on bail, seedy characters from the past ie paedophilic teacher who owned the flat before jefferies, now serving a prison sentence; the closed world of public school teaching, etc ,etc....
it is all a different world and visually a very attractive one...
agree..have felt from the start that the setting and characters would be prime material for a film.
i can see americans loving the setting...the area round clifton college is beautiful...plus classic characters, beautiful and different...
I think the police have their man. Nobody wants to think the people they love are capable of such crimes but people do things for a variety of reasons and nobody truly knows us.
When or if it comes out as to how it all came about the jigsaw will fit I'm sure. The police have much more info than we do and IMO it will be a simple explaination.
I too remember reading that at some stage but can't remember where. Having said that, I can't see it either... I'm pushed to see anything look alike between the two women other than both having similar skin colouring, fair hair and being of a similar age group.The one thing that has disturbed me about the press in this case is their obsession that JY 'looked uncannily like TM'.
I cant find any actual pages stating this but I am sure we have all read it.
They do NOT look anything alike apart from the fact they have fair hair.
One previous occupant was the paedophile Stephen Johnston, who abused at least one boy in the flat concerned before being imprisoned for 7 years in 2008.
I don't know if there were other occupants after him, although I guess the flat might have been difficult to rent to locals for some time after that.
44 Carynge Road is going to be the ideal subject of a horror film in time to come - it even has a vague connection with the 1974 murder of Glenis Carruthers, and it certainly has the visual potential for a gothic horror story.
It is rather like an Inspector Morse mystery translated from Oxford to Bristol, isn't it.
Ah, if only Margaret Rutherford was around to play CJ ...
You make it sound like 'Amityville Horror' - i dont believe anybody has made a film called '25 Cromwell Street' & i dont expect them too either !
I dont buy a body in 2inches of snow is invisible to the human eye, especially when its plastered all over the news a young woman in your area is missing ?? Personally if it were me i would of spotted her imo.
Here's Dame Margaret, prepping for the role now.
You would have to have looked at it in the first place, and people rarely look closely at everything around them: there are usually other things that take precedence.
I think it's been fairly well established that the body was not left at the quarry entrance, but further up the lane.
I'd have to go with Alistair Sim in the role, I think!

Often that is the way things turn out... KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)...I think the police have their man. Nobody wants to think the people they love are capable of such crimes but people do things for a variety of reasons and nobody truly knows us.
