An innocent person wouldn’t try to cover up an accident or death though, surely?
Not unless there was something weird going on in their heads, like thinking 'oops, there goes my career in pub management'. While bizarre, it isn't all that more bizarre than a spontaneous sex attack.
What DV has not established is whether the pub was actually closed at 1pm. If it were, it adds credibility to the idea that something happened there. CV was bar staff, KF was kitchen staff, and there was a cellarman; that was it. If it was open, and there were people in the bar drinking, there's nobody there at liberty to assault anyone. CV would have been behind the bar.
I thought it might be interesting to see where everyone is with SJL actually being at Shorrolds road.
1. Who believes she went there?
2. Who believes she never went there?
I am more at 90% she did not go there. She was not sighted there by HR, who just said he had a 5-second glance at the back of a blonde woman's head. There is considerable doubt as to how blonde she was. We have a photo of what she looked like the previous Saturday night; even allowing for lighting, how 'blonde' was that?
She's blonder here, but the rest of the family are gingery blonde, and it's an old photo:
All subsequent sightings were
after the police had stated she went there and appealed for "further" sightings of her.
If the police had said she was seen outside 37SR with Ronald McDonald, and had anybody seen that, something similar would have happened. There would have been witnesses who claimed to have seen her being bundled into the Noddy Car by a tall man with a ginger wig, red nose, stripy blue trousers and long red shoes.
The first exaggerated report of imagined events seems to have happened the very same day with the MG/HR account of her seen being bundled into a van. This was sheepishly withdrawn.
