He would also have lied about the time he left the meeting, or arrived back at his office (or both) as well, because the initial route he took back to the office was a lot shorter than the one via Croft, at least a 20 minute difference. He would have to explain this to the police as well.

On the afternoon in question, do you know why Ann Marie didn't visit her mother? I know she was supposed to see her mom that day, but i don't know why it was cancelled.

During your investigation, did you ever speak to Ann Marie or any other members of Ann's family?

I haven't but thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for replying. Did you watch the Criminal Record episode that @dotr posted on the thread yesterday? If you did, what are your thoughts on a new senior investigating officer reviewing the case - do you think a fresh set of eyes will help? Also, what about the evidence collected at the...
