Hi all. I've been reading here from the beginning - spending MUCH TOO MUCH time with all of you to the detriment of the housework, garden etc! (I imagine us like a big classroom...I've been sitting anonymously in the middle with my head down....Kimster is the class teacher attempting to keep order but despite her stern words, she loves her class dearly and has many a quiet chuckle to herself - I imagine her a bit boho with pink and purple highlights in her hair!...the studious Hawkins sits toward the front with a large pair of nerdy glasses, over which he peers disapprovingly from time to time as Willough in the back row with the chatty girls acts up - but everyone loves her to bits although she's naughty!....Greg is the class wit, handsome but unattainable and all the girls are secretly in love with him - I myself fantasize about him and although I'm quiet I've had to stick my head under the desk and smother my laughter at his witticisms......but enough! My point is that despite the anonymity of cyberspace, you do feel an attachment to and something like kinship with people on a forum such as this, all of us so very different but alike in also feeling an attachment to poor Allison and being transfixed by this horrible happening, desperately wanting to get some closure....god knows how the Dickies etc. are faring when WE are all so frustrated.
Just a few thoughts of mine: Through all the different scenarios and comments, there are two that do not leave me....probably because I give the authors of these a great deal of credence. Hawkins, because he obviously knows his stuff and I suspect is 'in the know' somehow (IMOO), and that politician fellow from Ipswich, who I don't think would be publishing certain comments unless he had some sort of 'inside' knowledge.
Both these two have suggested here and there that when all is revealed, it is going to be particularly nasty and confronting, for jurors especially. Initially I thought that this could be referring to the post mortem, because this alone will be very disturbing. Would the jurors have to view pictures of poor Allison as she was found, to demonstrate what might or might not be visible on the body? I would find this extraordinarily difficult to deal with in view of what decomposition would have occurred (and I 'handle' death regularly in my line of work), as if the horror of her being murdered wasn't enough. And if there was any mutilation of the body, this would make it doubly traumatic to jurors. Can anyone advise whether jurors have to view such pictures? I would imagine so.
When thinking of the words 'nasty and confronting' (used by the politician I think) and now suggestions of bathwater being present in the lungs, I have been imagining another scenario. Allison has returned from the hairdresser and has run a relaxing bath - a luxury she can enjoy while the girls aren't home. The perp has then drowned her, and as she is already naked, it's just a matter of putting her into her walking clothes, and formulating the 'gone for a walk' story. Awaiting the toxicology results could reveal whether she was drugged first....if drowning WAS the COD, it might be nicer to think she was oblivious, however it doesn't seem that could be the case in view of the toxicology results. I'm recalling too the chemist staff being questioned (but maybe GBD was just buying Betadine for the scratches he already had).
Just a few thoughts! I've had many a thought I've wanted to share, only to have them already expressed by the time I 'caught up' with all the posts....I'm sure I'm not alone there.
Haven't yet learned how to 'link' but the comments by Hawkins and Paul the Pollie are back there somewhere! And my thoughts, of course, are IMOO!:moo:
. However it seems totally at odds with what the Police believe(I mean what happened to her- not whether he is innocent or not) and they would know alot more than us. It would be an awful long walk for Allison to be at the Kholo bridge. And I don't think a car could just hit her and knock her off the road at that particular spot, as there is railing/guard rail there. see link below
