I do too. I find it very odd. But hey, different folks, different strokes.

Also to make it look like they were doing something.

I do too.

Re: the friend of Jo's. I def recall reading / hearing it because I recall thinking that if a friend was coming round to help her clear up, that the flat must have been in some helluva state.

Still mooching - I did come across this though:-

Police said there were no signs of forced entry at the flat but Jo’s parents were convinced she had been abducted when they saw the state of the property. David said: “We knew what the flat was like. We know what she does and doesn’t do. “We were 100% convinced within 30 minutes of arriving she had been abducted.”

He said there were “other factors, other reasons that we’ve been asked by the police not to go into”, that left him convinced she had been snatched.

David added: “We had grave concerns based on what was in the flat. We knew she had not gone of her own volition. We came to the conclusion it was unlikely she would have been found alive.

“The state of the flat indicated she had been abducted. Jo and Greg were quite untidy and we knew she was planning on tidying up on Saturday.

“On top of that she did not respond to Greg’s texts that night and they were both devoted to each other.”

Last part is weird...... didnt either the mother or father say that it was not unususal for Jo not to respond to text messages? In fact, without hunting for it, I'm sure the wording that was reported was, "it was consistent" (ie; that she didn't respond to texts).

As for the what was 'in' the flat, and what the father said the police asked him not to go into:- the father has been pretty adamant all along that she was abducted (and then killed).
