Yep, and trying to spot a 'potential suspect' trying to put them off the scent, chasing IP addresses, tracking the person down, arresting them and reacting the whole CJ scenario again!

Pyramid got it in one - oh well takes the heat of DI Jones incompetant investigations sofar - why don't the police just come out with what they know would save a lot of specualtion - instead of doing things a**e about face - hope heads roll over this investigation I think Mr Jones can forget the OBE and look forward to a very early retirement!

Aye, it's not looking too good eh!

On a completely different sidenote ....... do you realise that this thread has received the 4th highest amount of views for all discussions in the Serious Debates section - considering the thread has been only on the go for about 9 days, that's a fair amount of views given the 'low count' of active posters. It's definately a topic people are reading, if they aren't posting on it.

Oh interesting I imagine 70 of these are the A & S police who are active in the investigations - however if they had 70 brain cells between them on looking at this thread they perhaps could have the real culprit in custody!

Sorry..... shouldn't really be taking the mickey..... but no wonder, I still can't quite believe they think it's a good idea. I'm astounded.

But you are right on that one - already it's dropping from the main headlines.

catching up on newspapers and this I found interesting:-



Something many of us have been saying for some time now - that it could have been a burglar, or a 'random'. A killing that in fact wasn't actually planned - but a burglary gone horribly wrong.

It really does appear that the police are as baffled as the rest of us from the way they are changing their minds - from knowing her killer, to not knowing, from it being a killer, to possibly 'killers'. They are ruling out nothing because they appear to have nothing.

I'd still love to know what was 'in' the flat that made them think that she had been abducted....... they're still keeping that snippet very close to their chests.

The flat shared by joanna & reardon holds all the keys - maybe reardon timeline of his exact whereabouts easy to prove as he is on a motorway in bad weather delays getting to destination on estimate time limit delays by 1,2 or maybe 3 hrs!

A big part of me favours the latter...... it's where her body was dumped that's throwing me off the 'well thought out part' - but hey: that could well be where the 'smart' killer part kicks in. Certainly, whoever is responsible isn't making it easy for the cops.
