To further back up my theory that Jo's body can't have been in Longwood Lane for 8 days, i've just checked on the depth of snow in Bristol for that Christmas week from the 18th. I have to say i'm more certain than ever her body hadn't lain there undiscovered for 8 days now.
The light dusting of snow at 10.22 a.m on the morning of Saturday the 18th December in Bristol.
The morning after Jo's body was supposed to have been dumped??
The original shot taken at St Peters Church in Castle Park Bristol can be seen here

The Exif data info to back that up.
Next day shot on Sunday the 19th Decemember at Arnos Vale Cemetery Bristol.

All dates the shot were taken can be seen on the left of the page.
You can also read the EXIF data yourself if your a flickr member, or have a programme to do it.
And the search for missing Jo taken sometime midweek Mon-Fri.
There's plenty of shots in Bristol taken that week to be seen in the flickr Bristol group here

It beggars believe the body was undiscovered in Longwood Lane for 8 days. There certainly isn't the 2' snow drifts i've been hearing about.
Anyone else still convinced she was dumped there on the Friday night the 17th Dec?
