Of course it would nugs.  It could be done by wiring Julie up discreetly (unless she always wore the skimpy clothing in the News of the world) or a recording device on phone. It wasn't done because Jeremy never said a word about murdering his family let alone doing it.

All they would need to do it get Julie to call Jeremy from the police station with the police listening in via a 3rd phone and a recorder. Its really that simple

The answer to the thread question is in reply 2.

I doubt that it is legal to wire up an innocent party without them knowing. There was also no way they would know what clothes Julie would wear.

As you know, Bamber spent most of the post massacre time travelling around Britain and Europe after the massacre. Julie going along with him whether she wanted to or not. So impossible to pin down an appropriate place to bug them.

Even Bamber or the CT have not brought up this theory.

Its your answer Adam not THE answer.

I had a small tape recorder back then so I'm sure the police had discreet tape players that Julie could put in her bag.  Or they could set something up on the phone.  Or undercover police could hang around with recording equipment.  This would obviously be done after Julie's confession.  She would know.  She went to the police via her friends so the police could say ok we need a taped confession can you help us?

So what Jeremy and CT havent brought up.  I've had personal dealings with both and both are thick.

It's an interesting theory.

Any criminal not arrested within minutes of a crime, can claim they are innocent because the police did not make a covert recording of a confession.

Most cases dont hinge on confessions.

Bamber certainly hasn't confessed.

Julie was with Bamber all the time. As his girlfriend. Travelling around Britain and Amsterdam. Bamber watching her every move. She would have refused to get involved in an entrapment request.

It couldn't be done after Julie approached the police and confessed. The police had enough to arrest him.

The police never know if they have enough until a jury delivers its verdict. Even I know that Adam!

Everyone knows that. They felt they had enough to take to the DPP. The DPP agreed.

Bamber and Julie had spilt up after a blazing row. So unlikely Julie would be able to catch up with him and get a taped confession if he was travelling around Europe.

Why confess to something you didn't do ?

Poor Stefan Kiszko confessed to something he didn't do because he was probably hounded to do so,but was sadly simple of mind to have gone along with it. The saddest case I ever read as both he and his mother died through the strain of having been accused and the name-calling that they'd both endured.
That horrendous case was the fault of the investigation team.

Well, maybe they should have had you around at the time. Just because you think it's a good idea 30 years later - doesn't mean they thought of it back then. AND tape recordings were not admissible back then

Covert listening devices were part of police operations 30 years ago.  Regina v Khan is the relevant case law based on Home Office laws 1984.
