He wouldn't have IMO and no one one would have bothered with the fingers at all if they were foolish enough to be driving a car around with a body in the back seat one or three days after that person was missing; taking such an enormous risk, they wouldn't have cared about being seen at all and...

An interesting perspective. Here are my thoughts: a) LE never believed DD; they dismissed his sighting as impossible at the time it was provided and nothing changed from that moment until the day he was visited at his workplace so they held their noses, got him to make an ID they knew was...

For what it's worth, LE contacted the Bain family in July of 1990 - a month after EB went missing - and asked them specifically to stop searching for her. Were they were worried that they would find her somewhere that would completely undermine their theory?

I think that part of the difficulty in assessing the case and determining what the police actually believed and believe now is that there was never a coherent theory of the crime; perhaps not surprising given that to this day no one knows when EB was killed, where she was killed, how she was...

Absolutely correct; and the record will show, they never really did even after DD came forward. Two very interesting facts emerge through the statement that RB provided on June 24th, 1990 - the first meeting with the homicide squad - and both should be taken into account in light of the fact...

I agree with you 100%. The question is, involved in what way? Romantically? Quasi-romantically? A friendship that EB let get too far? All possibilities are open but a month gap in a diary leading up to a disappearance is very, very bizarre.

NCTM alludes to this. A botanist at the ROM was consulted and he told police that the flora and fauna suggested that the car had been somewhere close to water. The problem, of course, is that Highland Creek runs right through the UTSC valley so one can take that for what it's worth but yes...

A counterfactual would be that Bernardo was a stranger and thus really didn't have any reason to dispose of LM by placing her body parts in concrete or to go to such extraordinary lengths such as cutting all the finger nails and hair off KF but he did. Now, we know that police contacted him and...

Got that right. Although with the public, I'll say with the exception of Perz and Dibben, it was more a case of being honest but mistaken. In some cases, police don't like to release composite sketches because they get inundated with calls and end up being bombarded with alleged suspects and...

It makes sense if she's killed outside of the car to put her in the trunk, which wasn't done; it makes even more sense if you have time to think about it and know that there are blankets that could be used to conceal the blood that was found all over the back seat. But we know this was never...

I respect the fact that you are holding out for irrefutable proof of her presence in the back of the car but if you have serious doubts as to EB ever being in the back of the car and bleeding, then it's unlikely we'll ever be on the same page. I will allow that there is no mathematical or...

As regards Raybould's note, this entry: b) if decomposed – the odour would be noticeable as decomposed fluids would enter fabric and remain is in fact indicating that a decomposing body would produce decompositional fluid which would spill into/on the fabric and leave a noticeable odor...

The above scenario you have described - that the blood was relatively fresh when the car was discovered - cannot be ruled out and is very alive as a possibility given the information Raybould recorded in his note for the November 22, 1990 meeting. There is definitely ambiguity in how one could...

It may be that more forensic evidence relating to EB's case will be disclosed in the months ahead; for now the three-hour figure appears to be the consequence not of attempting to date the the bloodstains - which as I understand it is a very difficult thing to do given the many variables such as...

I believe only EB's parent's gave blood samples, and that was what allowed them to determine that the blood belonged to one of their female offspring. I'm not sure why they didn't get CB to provide one because it easily could have been done. If she didn't she didn't but let's not kid ourselves...
