The police seem to not differentiate between 'suspect' and 'witness'. CJ is supposed to be a suspect....yet, if we are to believe, only stepped forward to say he had witnessed three people near Jos' flat. G/R is a 'witness'....yet he actually witnessed, if we are to believe, nothing more than an empty flat.It seems to have become fact that credit card receipts and CCTV footage has ruled GR being en route to Sheffield at the time that Joanna went missing. However the rumour has originated in a tabloid which went along the lines of '...it is believed that'.
However, this was the LE's response when asked at a press conference on 28th December whether GR was a suspect:
When I saw this, I too thought there was a resemblance to Jo....but also thought the hair was too long. But, todays Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...urder-Facebook-friends-asked-DNA-samples.html
shows Jo with long hair and...take away the make up...could well be her. I have informed the police of the link to see what they think.
Maybe the reason he sped off is because he was about to 'fly tip' (dump rubbish). Lots of people do this...although there is no need...and builders/gardeners have been known to dump rubbish/rubble in a secluded spot.RE: phil B
White van with a man in a woolly hat. Sounds rather like a builder to me.
I guess the entrance to a quarry is an unusual place to see someone like that.
A lot of strange things go off in that lane. First the mysterious 4X4. Then the two rain soaked men running out of the woods at 6 a.m last week. Now the nervous white van man.
It sounds rather odd that he speeds off as soon as the dog walker spotted him.
On another note one of the Detectives that wrote a piece in the Daily Mirror said he would not overlook the hotel (Redwood Hotel) that is just one minute from longwood lane. The Perp could have had a room there/worked there. Anyone fleeing Longwood Lane or running by foot from the scene would not have far to go.
this whole collecting DNA from all of bristol and all JY's facebook friends reeks of desperation. totally overboard.
Maybe he just didn't like all the suspicion surrounding him....he could hardly knock people for being online....when he used Facebook to try and find her...then went on to open a site to raise money for missing persons...bit of a contradiction there methinks.Oh dear. If, as has been reported, this was a devoted couple planning a life together, I can absolutely see myself thinking and saying I wouldn't return to the city. I may or may not realize it would be ill-advised and open to misinterpretation or question. I might not want to go back and I'd be likely to just blurt out what I was thinking. I can't see myself saying anyone was wasting time online or putting down online communities, though. I participate, obviously. But would I think differently if I were the object of suspicion? I need more caffeine to think this through.
FTR, I swear I haven't murdered anyone, I swear I don't know GR or anyone else in this case, and I swear I'm not a GR apologist and am not trying to assert his innocence. His actions, at least based on reporting (which may or may not be at all accurate), don't seem that odd to me.
Yes, looks like the same woman, minus the coat and scarf, I've been looking to see what was going on in Bristol on June 10th...seems to be quite a lot all the way through and wondered if Jo and G/R would have attended....as lots of things were going on at the harbourside...anyway..this pic doesn't look much like her at all. Back to the drawing board!I'm sure it's not her. It seems to be the same woman who is pictured again in the last photo of the set here...http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorp/sets/72157624260215046/with/4694330576/
Also regarding the timing of Greggs 'Happy New Year' statement, did he think he was home & dry as Chris Jefferies was looking more & more likely to be charged at the time as the media gathered pace on him ?? Funny thing was, only an hour after Gregg posted his statement CJ was released on bail ?? Was this the reaction the LE were waiting for ??
Btw - i found the Crocodile Tears vid useful on Youtube, very interesting how they caught him out - maybe there has been some bugging already setup here & hope to trick them into talking by letting out false information ??
sweep the cat, i sent you a pm re the astrology - interesting dream you had about a white van!
Anyone, what does LE mean?
And any link please to crocodile tears video?
Interesting changes overnight (well, here in Oklahoma, it was overnight). CAG has a name, Kerry McCarthy is claiming she didn't call for all of Bristol to be swabbed, and the Ram pub has received a "chilling letter" (as has wordy Prof David Wilson, the outspoken criminologist guy, according to his claims - in a mystery story he, of course, would wind up being exposed as the killer). Plus, it's snowing in Oklahoma.
Great job by all, great fun reading all the posts I missed while asleep.
