Exactly teabreid.
Three things will pin him to this crime.
Witnesses, forensic evidence and a confession.
There is no witness to the crime.
That leaves forensics or a confession. Preferably both.
Nothing else will cut it.
I stand to be corrected, and will wipe the egg of my face with a big grin
But i'm sure I just heard the Police can apply for more time to question NUA when times up tonight. I'm sure someone will be able to elaborate further.
And Google Maps says it is 0.9 miles by the road.I've just measured Clifton Down Station from NUA's place on Google Earth. It's 316 yards away exactly as the crow flies lol

So... That leaves us with a possible scenario that NUA doesn't even have a car. It's all assumptions of course, but so far there hasn't been anything mentioned about it. Jo's parents appeal 'maybe someone borrowed your car'' seems rather ominous.
I wonder if this is where there trying to pin NUA down?
Not exactly true..
CCTV could prove crucial, as well as witnesses who can challenge any potential alibi or prove he is lying.
Neighbours on Canynge Road yesterday claimed NUA had returned to his flat on the Friday Miss Yeates disappeared. It is understood he spoke to ex-teacher Chris Jefferies, who had helped her boyfriend Greg Reardon start his car before a trip to Sheffield for the weekend.
A neighbour said: ‘When [NUA] got home on his bike, Chris spoke to him on the drive and told him about what happened with the car.’
The car CJ spoke to NUA about was GR's car which he helped to start not NUA's car.
I'm also mystified by that. If they have it, why not generate a profile, test everyone in the building/neighbours in the street/etc, and just compare.I take your point but the police will want a lot more than that IMO.
Most of us have seen actual footage from the interview room.
It is tough going for the suspect.
This second interview is taking as long as the one for the first suspect or at least heading that way.
My guess is they are aiming for a confession. Obviously they have not had success thus far.
Why don't they use the DNA for goodness sake.
No, he was held for about 54 hours and released before the end of the extra time they had been granted, if I am not mistaken. That says a lot.Was CJ held for the maximum 96 hours?

Yes it was indeed. The importance of that quote was the fact NUA was on his bike at the time. Casting doubts he even has a car.

And also indicates that NUA was aware that Greg wasn't home that night?
Crime justice and the law
Your rights if you're arrested
How long can you be held?
You cannot normally be held for more than 24 hours without being charged with a crime. However, for more serious offences, a police superintendent can extend that period to 36 hours. A court can extend it to 96 hours.
Once the police have completed their investigation and decided not to make any more enquiries, they will decide whether they have enough evidence to charge you with a crime.
If they do not have enough evidence, you will be released.

Like someone said earlier, if he had had a car, they would have probably taken it for forensic examination like the two used by CJ (one belonging to one of his friends) and PS and GR's cars, I think. That would make sense to me, at least: all cars that were usually parked next to the house.Yes it was indeed. The importance of that quote was the fact NUA was on his bike at the time. Casting doubts he even has a car.

Indeed it would agreed
I'm not one to take press reports as fact. But there are a few doubts being printed that he actually did leave for Holland, one quote states the bad weather postponed it, or put it off altogether. His elder sister wouldn't answer that question and ended the phone call (If the press story is to be believed)
I thought so at the time, and still think the body was left in Longwood Lane on Christmas morning.
Of course. And without even talking to JY.And also indicates that NUA was aware that Greg wasn't home that night?

Movements through ports and airports are tied down so tight these days that the police should have no problem tracking UAT's trip to Holland, if in fact it took place. Plus mobile phone pings, cctv, etc.
Though this suspect would have been pretty savvy regarding tracking people's movements- he has a PhD in it, after all! I'm guessing the interviews are proving very difficult (for the police).
