Let's hope they are gathering every conceivable camera in all routs surrounding the area. Cameras have made a great difference in a few previous cases. MOO

She has been mentioned as a wife by the family in a variety of articles.
Julia James murder: Police search for clues as family speak out
I think lots of things can go wrong for example sadomasochistic sex games ending in a fatality. It is certainly not minimising crimes but mistakes do happen leading to maybe a far greater criminal conviction than the perpetrator may have expected. People on this group are just trying to work out just what happened in this instance of a lone dog walker killed and left in full view with no apparent motive. What was the original intent of the person who killed Julia?. Was it a cold blooded murder or did something go very wrong from what they intended?.I need to ask:
If the dog had disappeared would this have constituted a dog-napping gone right?
In which case it would have been a murder gone right as well because it was totally successful. Using a blunt instrument to bludgeon someone to death must have been done intentionally.
I think all of these 'gone wrong' terms are totally inappropriate altogether, and they most certainly do, in my mind, minimise such serious crimes, the term creates an impression that a murder is some kind of mishap, whereas it is committed by someone both equipped and willing to kill.
If the term is to be contemplated, it should be accompanied by some detail of just how and what might have gone wrong?
I'm not suggesting that posters shouldn't use the term, just saying it makes no sense, it needs to be explained.
Very puzzling indeed. I wish we had abit more snippets of information...anything really. Every detail could be crucial. I hope Police have more info to help them determine solid lines of inquiry to pursue at least...
Anybody local to the village or area here?
But how did they escape that area unnoticed, on foot it looks a good 10-15 mins to a road and an unusual car would be obvious on those country lanes, does this suggest they return home locally all on foot?
Whenever I read bridleway I always think of cycle path. Maybe the assailant was on a bike which could explain how they disappeared fairly quickly. The big puzzle is the blunt trauma injury. This suggests a relatively weighty weapon - not something someone would carry when on a country walk. I'm reminded of the sad case of Alice Gross who was attacked by a Latvian builder on a bicycle. In fact my best guess at a suspect could be a builder cycling with some tools including a hammer in a rucksack. As for a motive - I think probably random or possibly there had been some previous encounter.
This dognapping idea is, IMO, getting out of hand now. No-one bludgeons a woman to death to (not) steal an elderly jack russell.
This is what sticks out for me. People walk dogs at all hours of the day, and it’s very unusual not to come across other people out and about. I’m really surprised at the audacity of an attacker who thought they’d not be noticed by anyone else.

Hopefully, the killer will be visible on the station cctv<quote snipped for focus>
Another possibility is train. Highly risky but I see nearby Snowdown station is on a direct line between Dover and Victoria with regular trains in each direction.
If the witness sighting at 3PM is accurate the time of the attack is probably between 3.15 and 3.45 - from there the perpetrator could probably have made it on to the 3:59 to Victoria before Julia was found at 4PM.
Edited to add: I measured the route from the crime scene to the station via the eastward path to Aylesham Road, and then turning right and continuing on that road to the station - it is 0.55 miles, about 8 minutes at a brisk walking pace.
Detectives have today launched a murder probe after a female PCSO was found dead 'with her Jack Russell by her side' on a secluded pathway where she often walked the faithful dog in Kent.
The body of Julia James, 53, was found on the edge of Akholt Wood in Snowdown, near Aylesham, shortly after 4pm on Tuesday.
Kent Police has since launched a murder investigation in the wake of the unexplained death, which is understood to have taken place yesterday afternoon as the married mother-of-two walked her dog.

Strange that there's not a more detailed description of the man in a black BMW who wanted to swap *advertiser censored* for a dog. They suggest he could be in his 60s.
