KariKae, apparently Hitchcock's leg was x-rayed and deemed not strong enough to have allowed him to walk about on the night of Elfrieda's death. But you're right about most roads leading to him. I have to wonder, at this point, if he had somebody do it for him.
This somewhat disturbing article in which police find the writer of the "B. Lock letter" also points to Hitchcock as having some cultish authority over Elfrieda.
Mrs. Luella Roeh appears to have had quite an attachment to "Fritzie". But where I thought this "B. Lock" had perhaps been an influence over Elfrieda, it appears it was the other way around -- Luella was the one drawn in to whatever Hitchcock and Elfrieda were into. And is it just me, or does Luella's letter sound like their 'friendship' was something... more than that?
"Not once did I think of anything beyond being a friend until the third time you came and the way you looked at me. The next time you mastered me more than ever."
This case just gets weirder by the minute.
But notice how she says that Elfrieda, who was in turn 'mesmerised' by Hitchcock, suggested she take 'grammar lessons' from 'Hitch'? Was Elfrieda indeed 'recruiting' for some sort of spiritualist cult?
How strange is it that the States Attorney interviewing Luella was also one of Hitchcock's 'students'?
Interesting that the theory held by a local doctor that Elfrieda was burned by high voltage wires was 'discredited' by police. Which police, I wonder? And in what way was the doctor's opinion discredited?
