Australia Australia - Jenny Cook, 29, Townsville, Qld, 19 Jan 2009

[FigTree]

Not really sure about the alcohol Figtree. Jenny's autopsy revealed alcohol in the bloodstream and the bladder. Allison's liver showed signs of alcohol and it is my understanding that is a normal reaction to decomposition. Alcohol by mouth stays in the bloodstream for approximately 24 hours so Jenny may well have had a drink the evening before she died.

Ahhh - thanks for that Makara
Cheers!

Oxynorm - Oxycodone brand name. Powerful opiate-derived painkiller, powerful enough that if you wanted to kill yourself, this would be the drug to use.

Norethisterone - a synthetic hormone which "can be used to treat premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, abnormal heavy bleeding, irregular periods, menopausal syndrome (in combination with oestrogen), or to postpone a period. It is also commonly used to help prevent uterine hemorrhage in complicated non-surgical or pre-surgical gynecologic cases."

Prochlorperazine - a powerful antipsychotic; rarely prescribed for psychosis these days, more often as a treatment for nausea. Prochlorperazine oral (taken by mouth) is used to treat schizophrenia. It is also used to treat non-psychotic anxiety, and to control severe nausea and vomiting.

Zentel - worming tablets.

....no mention of hayfever or asthma drugs at all... despite that they were the only drugs (aside from 'a little alcohol') found in Jenny's system.

Re-quoting your post Ausgirl...

Would a combination of medications in the list above cause an overdose or a serious repercussion like heart failure?
I'm wondering why he mentioned these medications - they aren't the ones found in her body.

He wasn't a cocktail waiter at some stage, was he? IYKWIM
Seems to have the list - but Jenny didn't take these.
Was there a preparation made but Jennifer didn't take/drink it?
Was the medication list something he presumed was in Jennifer's body?

That list has me stumped.

 

[Makara]

Apparently the board weighed about 20kg. Add to that the weight of Jenny and it would have been a very heavy lift indeed. Not impossible for a big bloke though.

What intrigues me is that Jenny was wearing a sun hat under the sheet that was over her head. I'm thinking that she was either outside or about to go outside when she was stabbed. She may have been placed in the wheelbarrow instead of being carried or dragged to the board. Or she may simply have been near where she was stabbed and rolled onto the board after she died and no need for the wheelbarrow at all. Who's to know because nobody bothered to check. Cook called an ambulance and probably didn't bargain on the police turning up as well, not that they were of any bloody use!

I don't know if they had a garage.

 

[FigTree]

So I guess they don't have the 000 recording either.

Id like to know if there was a back entrance to the property, or they lived on a corner...

 

[Makara]

This case reminds me so much of the 1984 Jennifer Tanner case. Robin Bowles' book Blind Justice is a fascinating chronicle about this case and also great read. I was gobsmacked by the final outcome!

Two uniformed police arrived and initially concluded (with some misgivings) that Jennifer Tanner had taken her own life by shooting herself in the head with a .22 bolt-action rifle. No note was found, the television was on and her 21-month-old son was asleep in the next room.

No photographs were taken, no forensic experts were called, the house was not searched and detectives did not initially check the scene.

Police continued to pursue the suicide theory even after a pathologist discovered Mrs Tanner had been shot twice in the head, meaning she would have had to reload the bolt-action gun and fire again with one bullet lodged in her skull.

There were also bullet wounds through the webbing of both hands.

44 Sheerwater Pde, Douglas QLD
The sale of the house records:
http://www.onthehouse.com.au/sold/history/1026550/
Sold 16th Dec 2004 as a vacant land
Sold 29th May 2009 with residence - 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 garages
Sale Withheld 30th June 2009

The Listing description of the house:

Description from 30/06/2009:

This contemporary two-storey residence exudes class and style with its ultimate fixtures and fittings and stylish modern architectural design. The kitchen is a statement of modern sophistication, with top of the range stainless steel appliances and sleek contemporary design. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets, with a spacious and luxurious ensuite and walk-in robe to the main bedroom. 2 separate living areas with full air-conditioning throughout and glorious views of the river from the main bedroom and private balcony. Chic white tiles to the lower level radiate a fresh, vibrant atmosphere, whilst the upper level flaunts stunning, polished timber floors. Outside has double gate side access for your boat or caravan and a wonderful tiled back patio overlooking the well kept lawn and gardens, perfect for entertaining or simply to relax and unwind.

This tasteful and stylishly designed residence is the essence of class, style and modern excellence.

So the house is virtually close to one house next door - the rest of the property is open.
I cant imagine that there was no noise at all heard, especially being outside - though if there were no neighbors home next door and no other property surrounding the house, noise could have been made.
But I doubt her death was outside of the house.
There is easy unseen access from 3 entrance points - even though it is residential.

 

[FigTree]

Paramedics were warned on route of the suspicious nature of the call by mobile phone...
So what regarding the call made it suspicious?
Was PC the one who mentioned cardiac arrest or heart failure?
Did PC have a criminal record or priors before this happened?

http://www.courts.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/217931/cif-cook-jl-20131206.pdf

Queensland Ambulance paramedics, Robert Haydon and Christopher O’Connor,
were the first to arrive on the scene. They received a call to attend 44 Sheerwater
Parade at 7.51pm. They received a second advice, via mobile telephone, whilst en
route, that the death may be suspicious. Both said that because of this advice, they
were careful not to move Ms Cook’s body.

 

[Ausgirl]

PC was asked by police to gather all her medications, and was walked though the bathroom and bedroom cabinets to fetch them, iirc. That's pretty standard procedure, I think. I'm wondering where the hayfever/asthma meds packets were, though, no mention of those.

This Williams guy (who did the autopsy) doesn't give the exact volume of medication in her system, so it's hard to tell how much of it there was. But a woman with packets of oxys and some powerful psych meds at hand, if she was intent on numbing herself... would she not take those, and not the much milder anti-pollen pills?

Idk about Williams, I get a weird feeling reading his findings, like he *wants* a suicide finding.. but then he may not have been aware of all the hinky details as he performed the autopsy. Like that the allergy meds were a very poor first choice, considering the alternative drugs she had there.

The alcohol was described as "a little". Go precision. But a little is a little, I guess, and not "a lot".

 

[Ausgirl]

Re-quoting your post Ausgirl...
Would a combination of medications in the list above cause an overdose or a serious repercussion like heart failure?

Yup.

The oxys alone could kill a person, they are an opiate like morphine, only synthesised. I was on *really* high doses of morphine in hospital for about a month, and was given those as a way of coming down off that as well as ongoing pain relief. Oxycodone is pretty damn strong. It would be my drug of choice, out of that list, for a suicide drug. I am guessing Jenny was prescribed those for her back pain.

The psych drug was probably for severe anxiety, no-one's mentioned that she had schizophrenia (which is its other application) but Jenny did have issues (like cutting) that I would associate with anxiety. Just a guess, there. I would think these were legit prescription, as well. I would not like to take too many of those at once.

Dunno about the hormone drugs. I don't think those would be fatal. Nor the worming medication, heh.

But anyway, you can see that she had choices of powerful meds to take, if she wanted to die.

 

[Ausgirl]

As for the very, very neatly wrapped knife handle -- yeah, I was staring at that, too.

It's very hard to reconcile these things, in my mind...

-- Jenny spoke to a Work Cover employee at 8.49am and they had a fairly detailed, sensible conversation about her progress and pending return to work (inquest report, p2)

-- We are meant to believe she then suddenly suffered a severe depressive episode, and was disturbed enough that she would want to forgo available drugs that would bring her a relatively peaceful death, and stab herself through the heart like that -- and then took the time and care to very neatly wrap the handle of a massive knife in order to jam it in a window frame.

-- Thought to put on a sun hat and take allergy meds before she died.



Another thing I cannot understand is HOW this woman, who was THERE at the crime scene for hours and hours could a/ not know the knife was wrapped and / b get promoted.... WHY was she lying her off about the knife handle? Simply to justify her destroying the knife, like an idiot? Or something more..? And isn't lying during an inquest illegal or idk, punishable, in some way, especially for a police officer?! There is something very wrong, here.

From findings of the inquest into the death of Jenny Lee Cook p 18-19

It cannot be accepted that DS Osborn’s evidence was at all truthful in regard to that matter.

Osborn stated emphatically that she had no knowledge, until a few days before the inquest, that the handle of the knife had been wrapped in string and tape. She said she had never heard that before and had never been told. She was then shown a supplementary form 1, completed by her, that contained that information. She stated, incredibly, that she had cut and pasted that information from that provided by the SOCOs but she had not read her supplementary form 1.

When it was later pointed out to her that she had signed that document as being true and correct, she immediately stated that she had in fact read it when she submitted it but had since forgotten about it.

Thanks for that, FigTree!! You rock!!:rockon:

 

[BJsleuth]

My bold... and Nice catch Makara!!


Thinking about what you said...
Maybe she could have been killed somewhere else and placed on the board - board and body slide loaded onto the barrow - barrow wheeled into place on deck - board and body slid off the barrow onto the deck.

Did they have a garage?

Good thinking! That would explain the lack of drag marks. There was a stone path there (I have the impressin of gravel/pebbles but I could be way off) would the wheelbarrow had left a mark?

I need to go back and check who, BUT, she did know about the tape and string on the handle, she pointed it out to another officer on scene the night Jenny died and told the officer to take note of it!

 

[BJsleuth]

Page 15 from the Coronial Inquest:

SOCO Kraatz stated that he was briefed at the scene by DSO Osborn when he arrived at the house. She showed him the body and the knife, and that was done a couple of feet from the body. He said she told him to be aware of the string and tape on the knife as well as the blood on it.

 

[Ausgirl]

Then she sends fellow police to search the house, but doesn't tell them what to look for. Like idk, maybe - string? tape? :facepalm:

Maybe it's just my ever-hopeful nature but I like to think people do not get to become detectives in our police force by being THAT stupid, or incompetent. Because *really*... this could not have been handled more badly, from beginning to end.

And that is why I believe there *needs* to be an inquiry into Osborn and all her potential connections to Cook and/or his girlfriend/s at the time.

I would, for a start, like to know how she became the lead investigator on this case, exactly.

Not only a detective, but a Sergeant!! I agree.

 

[Ausgirl]

This is something I was wanting to do last night but got tired, heh. It's just a breakdown of the statements made at the scene by Cook. He made two lots of comments, one early on and one a bit later. Comments in bold are my observations (so far).

Interview by Cotter, sometime shortly after 8.10pm:

He got home from work at 6.45pm
He left work at 5.30. Drive time b/w work and home: 15 mins average. That's an hour unaccounted for, and not mentioned here, or anywhere I can see. So he got home from somewhere... but it wasn't directly "from work".

Jenny was not home

The dog was upstairs
The neighbour states she thought the dog was down the side of the house (where Jenny was found) all day, crying and howling, so she wondered if it was hurt. If the dog was in the house all day, wouldn't the sound of it howling be muffled by the walls/windows? Sound carries very differently when outside, especially resonant sounds like a dog's howling.

The back door was unlocked;
Not open, but 'unlocked' so if this is truth, we must also accept that the dog was indeed shut inside since Jenny's death many hours before.

He walked the dog;

He returned and drank a Pepsi;
This might be the 'dark liquid' on the coffee table.

He had a shower;

He searched the house but could not find her;
Um -- because Jenny was prone to hiding out in the house when her hubby got home, like a little imp, or something? wth. Especially as he had, according to himself, already concluded she wasn't home. Did he NOT see her bag on the table the moment he got in? Why walk the dog/shower/etc *before* searching the house? SO SUSS!

He texted her and heard her phone;
And where was it, exactly? Oh, he doesn't say... was he even asked?

He saw the knife was missing and emptied the dishwasher;
Okay, I am now presuming he says "emptied the dishwasher" b/c looking for the knife. Not "looks in" there, but takes the time to "empty" it too. Okay. I find it VERY suss that he 'happens' to notice THE weapon missing from its usual place.

He searched the shed;

He turned all the lights on;

He went around the side and could see something white lying there

He came back in and turned the floodlight on and then went back out;
He is worried about his wife, he is worried she has hurt herself with a knife, he says. He is searching for her - sees 'something white' and does NOT run right up there immediately, to check if it's her? Runs for the floodlight switch instead? Okay. So he turns the light on. Why's it *off* when paramedics arrive?

Jenny was cold and stiff – he moved her lips but didn’t move her body at all.
Moved her lips. Okay. I have found a loved one's body after a suicide, in full rigor. Cold, and stiff. I cannot fathom WHY he'd 'move her lips' if was clearly dead and gone and stiff. I CAN understand why he did not attempt CPR - I didn't, either.

He called 000 and they told him to do CPR
Was this in response to a question of WHY the lips? Maybe.

Jenny was crying last night and he put on his Ipod and ignored her;

He didn’t talk to her this morning before he went to work;

She had a back injury;

She never told him she thought about killing herself;

Where is the wound, what did she do?
The floodlights are ON, he was facing her body front-on, he had knelt down by her and 'moved her lips', he had already established THE knife was missing from its block, and he *has NO idea* where the wound was, or what happened - okay.

When he first got home he thought either she’s left me or she’s killed herself;
So naturally, he took shower and walked the dog. As one does, when suspecting one's partner has left them (without her handbag....?) or killed themselves.

She’s got 12 diaries
Weirdly specific thing to know, let alone recall in a highly stressful situation.

First he thought she might have jumped from the balcony and then that she’d overdosed but someone said there was a knife there;
OH so he HAD 'heard' there was a 'knife there'.

That day at work he told his colleague, Bek Rogers, that his marriage was over.
Well and truly.


DS Osborn and PCC Cotter left the house with Mr Cook at 9.32pm and took him to the police station, arriving at 10.08pm, where PCC Cotter interviewed him.
During that interview Mr Cook repeated the information he had given police earlier and also stated:

He called Jenny from work on the activities phone and there was no answer – can’t recall whether before or after lunch;
This would have been verifiable, if anyone bothered to check.

He walked the dog for 20 to 30 minutes;
As one does, after arriving home and suspecting your wife has suicided.

When he came home from walking the dog he waved to Ms Lawton;
Waved hello, didn't go ask if she'd seen Jenny.

He dropped the phone outside after speaking to QAS;

He tried to move her arm a bit but it was set solid;
This is where, I think, he well and truly trips himself up, as I've said in previous posts. Obvious BS is obvious!

Called her today to get the email address for Action Electronics but she didn’t answer so went there in lunch break;
So he DOES recall if it was before or after lunch, eh.

11.45am left work to pay bill;

Paid it on credit card then got back to work 10 minutes late for first session.

Thank you so much for that post, Ausgirl! (and I love the 'imp' comment :lol

Your post clearly breaks down his inconsistent statements and actions. Lies, lies, lies.

None of that is what ANYBODY would do if they seriously suspected their partner had killed themselves. There are no natural responses anywhere in there IMO. A load of BS!!!

You are a super-sleuth!!:loveyou:

 

[PlainJaneDoe]

There are many glaringly obvious things about this that arouse suspicion. I haven't read the full autopy report yet but already it's screaming out.

The most obvious thing is the wound. It pointed downwards. Which means it occurred from above her. The knife is pointing downward in the photo. It would be nearly impossible for Jenny to impale herself on it, if it were sticking straight out, yes, I'd believe it but not at that angle. She would have had to force herself upward onto it.

The sheet and bathrobe sash around her head OVER a sunhat!!??

Lying on her side - would she have fallen that way? I don't think so. If he got close enough to see bleeding from the mouth, he would have seen the pool of blood on the board and the chest wound. The board itself is odd, that she happened to land on it even more so. Could have been used to move her and prevent necessity of cleaning up.

Tape and string used to keep the knife wedged, no sign of it anywhere in the house.

PC saw the knife missing, THEN unstacked the dishwasher?

He turned all the lights on, including the outside spotlight, yet when paramedics arrived, there were no exterior lights on?

The Paramedics and Police noted the knife immediately but PC didn't?

He wasn't waiting for them to arrive which is what the 000 dispatch usually tell you to do.

As someone else mentioned, why call it in as cardiac arrest?

Off to read more!

My brain right now...:gaah:
