GUILTY UK - Joanna Yeates, 25, Clifton, Bristol, 17 Dec 2010 #9

Saying someone is not being treated as a suspect but being treated as a witness is not the same as saying the person is cleared ... their alibi checked backwards and forwards.

To my knowledge LE has not "cleared" anyone and have arrested two.

BTW, I am hoping that the murderer will be brought to justice today and the Yeates family can begin to heal and move on. She seemed like the ideal daughter.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

.

All they had to say was 'he has been eliminated as a suspect' they deliberately left it open to interpretation imho - the only thing I can think, is that it was used as some sort of operational ploy, to smoke out the real perp? besides how could they eliminate him? just because he proved he wasn't in the position to do it, doesn't mean he didn't set it up, not that I think he did for one second, but look at Nisha Patel Nasri - what a filthbag her 'distraught' husband turned out to be.

There have been many cases where the guilty person was initially not considered a suspect and it has even been stated that that person was not a suspect and was only a witness. For example, Neil Entwistle, who murdered his wife and daughter, was initially described as not a suspect and only a witness by police (BBM):

"A statement released yesterday by the Nottinghamshire police said Entwistle is ''not a suspect,'' and they would not comment on his whereabouts.

'He is being treated by the U.S. authorities as a potential witness,' said Communications Officer Rebecca Tomlinson.' There are no extradition proceedings in relation to him. On that basis, the police in England and Wales have no legal powers to take executive action.'''

This makes it hard to have total faith in those types of statements from police IMO.

Yes, I understand that. In this case GR’s alibi appears solid, there are no reports of turmoil in the relationship, and the reasons so often given for continuing to suspect him anyway are that he looks like a murder or ‘feels’ like one.

He was wearing the wrong trousers. His hair was too neat. He was wearing a hat. He was wearing black while the family members were wearing lighter colours. He didn’t appear distraught enough. When he was distraught it seemed fake. His eyes were too red-rimmed from crying. His eyes were not red enough, so he hadn’t been crying recently. His hands were in his pockets when the footage was shot. He didn’t want to return to the flat, or to Bristol. He said happy new year. He said he wanted the case solved for Jo’s sake. He set up a fund. He didn’t worry enough. He waited four hours to call anyone. He didn’t call the right people. He wasn’t observant enough. It seems to me that if these are the measure of a suspect, despite what seems to be a solid alibi and police assurances, we might all be in trouble someday.

Perhaps if a decision has been made either way, they want to inform the Family first before the Media.

I can't help but shed a tear right now. For Joanna, her family and Vincent Tabaks family. So sad and such a waste, and for what!
