On the subject of the finding of Willow and the phone etc., this is what I've amassed as the storyline, following Ron's speaking out on the live Sky broadcast which was linked in a thread or two back from this current one. So I've had a good listen to what was said between Ron and the Sky outside broadcast...
Ron says he's certain of the time he came across Willow because he received a telephone call from his wife which had the time on it. He didn't say what that time was in this interview, but are we assuming his account is what sets that part of the official timeline at 9.33? We don't know why his wife happened to phone him at that opportune moment, some innocuous reason or because she had already heard about the scene at the bench? Because we also don't know if he and his wife even had the discussion that at that moment he was standing at the bench area where there was a loose dog and a phone with no one around.
The Sky reporter reminds Ron that they had previously spoken and that Ron told him he saw the phone, lead and Willow. No mention of a harness here, but the lead is mentioned. Ron also (when prompted) states the phone was on the bench. (This is despite it previously being on record that the man spotted it on the ground about 2ft away from the bench)
Ron doesn't say it directly but intimates he had walked away from the bench area thinking the dog owner had slipped off to the toilet and once he got past the little red brick building was thinking this isn't right. However he had already spoken to his wife and we don't know if she calls again or he continues on his walk?
Ron then garbles a bit that his wife is trying to ring him, he's trying to ring her, but he does say that Penny had rung his wife to say you should fasten the dog up. You is the word Ron used, not sure who the 'you' applies to? The question here is how does Penny know there is a loose dog? Has she also been at the scene and walked away too, leaving Willow loose? Because if she's already been there before Ron, is 9.33 the time she encountered the scene?
The Sky reporter then says to Ron, of course Penny had initially spotted Willow and the phone which Ron confirms. No mention that Penny tied Willow up and in fact Ron has already just said Penny rang his wife to say 'you' should fasten the dog up. Ron says 'cos of the wallpaper on the phone 'we' found out who the couple were. So the phone had been handled by him and someone else to have discovered that, and it is unknown who 'we' are?
Penny's appointment that she had to rush off to isn't mentioned. But all the while Ron hanging around there are phone calls flying back and forth between Ron's wife and Ron, Ron's wife and Penny. With 16 Threads behind us, can anyone confirm whether or not the subject of Penny and Ron's wife being sisters been raised?

(never heard of it here in Canada!)Kind of a cool sounding word.
