Hello Windleson, and welcome to WebSleuths. Interesting first post, that one!
What is the difference between the Waitrose stores and Tesco stores ? Because I noticed that LE stated that they knew what Jo bought at Waitrose, but " it wasn't important " Hmmm.... We have never seen it reported.Not once.Sounds like LE is holding this back for a reason ? Couple of guesses : a home pregnancy test. Or tampons. I had thought at one time that if,as LE said, there may have been a sexual motive, how would the killer react if Jo was menstruating ? JMO
Got to say the risks involved in moving a body to your car on that street are enormous. Not something you can do in a hurry, and certainly not when someone is likely to walk past, or looking out of a window i.e 9-10 ish.
Doing so is sheer lunacy.
With that in mind, and not wanting to sound like an experienced killer lol.
I'd try plan to do that move as stealthily as possible. I would choose 3-4 a.m when most people are asleep.
I really wouldn't want to carry the body in my arms. You wouldn't want to be seen of course.
Also another factor is how near can you get the car to the gate? From what I've seen that road looks fairly full of parked cars, that's going on last years street view, and four year old aerial images.
I'd want to edge that body out slowly, dragging it along isn't good. but sliding it on something quiet. Not a wheelie bin or anything to make a noise. I'd want to be low to the ground moving that body to be hid behind the bushes. Once at the gate you can have a good survey for faces at windows, anyone about on the street.
Then quietly pull your car up to the nearest spot if you can't get to the gate.
That's my opinion how risky that move is. Certainly not something you do in two mins at 9.p.m.
I've been following this case and the discussions with great interest. What I haven't seen - and this puzzles me - is the consideration that this is a crime of both opportunity and passion. Jo's body was left where it should have been easily located (if it weren't for the snow). She was clearly an attractive and vivacious young woman. I'm sure quite a number of young men would have been very attracted to her.
So, why no discussion of friends of her boyfriend? They/he may well have known he was to be away for the weekend. They/he may have been besotted with her. It seems natural for me for Jo to have run into someone familiar on the way home and inviting an acquaintance over to share a simple meal. An unwelcome advance, rebuffed, may have been a trigger for an unstable personality.
No marks upon the body when she was first discovered, according to what we've been told
no scratches, no semen, no bruises, no signs of struggle upon the body or in the flat, according what we know
No attempt to mutilate the body before or after death, as far as the public's been advised
No sexual display of the body
I know the public enjoys titillation with the sexual angle and it's virtually mandatory in crime shows. But in this case, there seems to be a total absence of sexual motivation, which thank god, must be some consolation to her boyfriend and family
The difference between Waitrose & Tesco is simply Waitrose i suppose is slightly more up market whereas Tesco is cheaper & more competitive if you catch my drift. The standards set out by Waitrose regarding staff & etiquet is much more stricter.
