GUILTY UK - Paige Doherty, 15, Clydebank, 19 March 2016

I am very sure from memory that the rear of the shops cannot be accessed by a vehicle as there are concrete bollards along pavement where the cars would park at the front, does that make sense? I also do not think you could reverse close to the front entrance due to these bollards that separate the pavement and parking. I will go check and see if can link a picture.

Whether or not you can see it on Google earth - surely a food business would have an area like this at the rear?

It seems that the waste is collected at the front. Looking at the view of the shop from the front there does seem to be a door on the side of the shop -gated off and looks at though houses back onto it.

Regardless, it puts an end to the driving the car up to the back door theories I would assume

Yes there will most likely be a rear entrance and area like this however it is not accessible by car/van due to bollards at front of building and houses at rear.

Since it seems no car can come very close to any of the doors, back, side, or front, I wonder whether he brought her out in one of those bins? A tent was erected in the area where they usually stand last night iirc? Looking for or found blood drops there?

Hi guys, first post but long time lurker! Hope I'm doing this right... I've went into google maps on my phone and this is the view I get from above the shop, doesn't seem to be any access from the back?

So it's the building where I've pin pointed and you can see the bollards in front so no way to get close to the entrance in a car...

But IF there is an area like this at the rear then surely the refuse truck would need to get down there to some extent? He could've pulled his car to as close to the rear as possible then carried a 'bin bag' to his car?

Sorry guys I meant to put the other picture in as well this is closer to the back view!

Again no way to get a car close to the back entrance as its gated off? Very strange...

Great and very helpful first post! Welcome to our group!

You are quite right, no way he could back up a car close to a door.

Indeed and some more details coming to light - of course might not be 100% accurate - under the Daily Record article on FB

Under the same article is a comment an hour ago by CB, presumably from what she says, a family member of Paige. She says Paige was seen walking to, and at the bus stop.

If true this means it's more likely she was followed and offered a lift, or even possibly taken against her will.

"My stomach's been churning since it happened" Neighbour of house raided in search for Paige Doherty's killer

Posted on Thursday 24 March 2016
An area in Clydebank is under police watch as detectives raided a deli and a house last night in their bid to find Paige Doherty's killer.

The 15 year old's body was discovered at the side of Great Western Road on Monday.

James Johnstone lives across the road from a property on Brown Avenue which is still sealed off - he's telling us about yesterday's events.

The fact that his wife disassociated herself from him on fb tells me he confessed. jmo

Unless a murderer is a psychopath or Psychotic then I don't understand how anyone can do anything but confess. Between forensics and the amount of cctv/dash-cams that are everywhere you just can not simply 'get away with murder' these days ... thank goodness!

Interesting interview^^ What of it I can understand

"in the afternoon (which afternoon?), JL ran from the car to the house like a bat out of hell, slammed the door. He usually walks casually but this was like he was being chased, I thought something was up"

I think I may need subtitles lol. That is one strong accent. Bits I picked up (I think)were that police were examining the car, checking the tires for about 3 hours before they took it away and that at some point he saw him come running like a bat out of hell as if someone were chasing him.

There isn't. .there's a side door but no back yard. Bins are at the front of the property

He definitely says "yesterday" towards the end of interview when talking about JL making his way from car to house "like a bat out of hell" so he is talking about yesterday afternoon before police arrived in the evening.

Anything else you are unsure of in interview just ask and I will translate.
