I remembered when I read the bolded bit^ when Joanna's mum talked about Joanne & Greg, she said "
they would cycle everywhere together", (
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1345194/Joanna-Yeates-Murder-Did-Jo-buy-dinner-killer.html) I also remember reading that the tenant who used to live in their flat said that you would need to climb some stairs to get to the front door of the flat. I wonder whether they kept their bicycles in one of these sheds that are being examined? and if they had their own key for it? I would imagine it would be a bit of a mission to lug 2 bikes down the stairs everytime you'd been out in them?

Dog walkers, runners and
cyclists have not been deterred from using the lanes, woods and tracks near where Miss Yeates' body was found.
Cycled there before?? ..... you've given me an idea pipkins!
An interesting article, thanks, and the first time I've seen it said that the mystery 4x4 was caught on the golf club's cctv. No matter how bad the image, the police must at least know its make, and have a precise timing.
Judging by the amount of regular daily activity around the dumping spot, I'm even more convinced that the body must have been placed there shortly before it was found.
On a totally different point, I am astonished that GR's video appeal has suddenly vanished from the internet. I assume the police pulled it- I wonder why? An arrest tomorrow?
No, it's been missing from very early on, not sure if it was televised but never appeared on line?....perhaps they dont want it 'out there' to see if he'll slip up and say something different at a later date?
Thanks Destroyer.
I'll wait to see what a few other say first, but if the 8p.m time (which i'm sure i've heard before) is correct, then we have the 'golden hour' situation. In around an hour, and no later than 2 hours time Jo would be dead. That's going on the general consensus, and two seperate reports of screams heard around 9.15 p.m.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he did return to the flat after setting off at 8 p.m. Infact, has it even been reported he was seen to drive away?
I assume he arrived in Sheffield at not an ungodly hour to satisfy the Police?
But if he did kill Jo, and he stashed her body in that outbuilding around 9.15-30, then he set off to Sheffield, he is running little over an hour late.
That's easily made up with the excuse of heavy traffic. But I actually think the traffic would be light at that time of night, and it was what is known as 'Black Friday' everyone is out on the razzle getting smashed because they've broken up for work.
Snowfall in Yorkshire was nothing more than a dusting that hit Leeds at midnight on Friday the 17th. Sheffield is only 39 miles South from here. There was no snow in Bristol looking at the C.C.T.V images of Jo, and the street view from the Hogs head pub taken just before 9 p.m. Put your foot down on a quiet motorway and you can pretty much make up for lost time.
Travelling to Sheffield he wouldn't have time to dump the body at Longwood Lane, but he would have time to hide it in the shed no bother.
I really think the Police need to get a grip of this case, to me they've been following the obvious, and have tunnel vision. They should establish the condition of snow depth on that grass verge outside the quarry that week. Was the road gritted for example.
I assume they have checked if the Quarry was in operation that week?
I think it would have been, they should question the drivers, the guy who opens the gate, and the regular dog walkers to establish if that body was there all week or not in their opinion. They also should check if the Quarry floodlights are on all night or not. This has bearings on the choice of location I.M.O.
The body was 'supposedly' snow covered when it was found. If it was covered in snow, then why wasn't it seen say the day before, or earlier?
The weather was still freezing cold on Christmas day, there was no significant thaw overnight to melt enough snow to reveal that body by morning. No thaw set in until Boxing day.
It would have meant a detour, but according to AARoutefinder, it takes
18 minutes to get from Longwood Lane to Junction 15 (M5), + the time it would take to get from the flat to Longwood Lane (not via Suspension Bridge)??? 15 mins? as you say, that half an hour could be made up on the motorway.... It could only be the brothers word as to what time he arrived, the wife could have been in bed asleep, baby twin girls must be exhausting!
I know I am in the minority, but I can see how her body may not have been discovered in all that time......I know we all had different amounts of snowfall, but I didn't see my two wheelie bins for about 2 weeks! She would have been low to the ground and the snow would have drifted down from the large rock on top of her, God Bless her soul, she would just have looked like a mound of snow (incorporated into the large rock) iyswim.
I've always felt that whoever left her body was in a hell of a rush and wanted to disassociate themselves with what they'd done damn quickly.
