cliff, just remembered, how about the back stairs?

[tyler]

Haughton,there was a trap door in the roof that led into the main bedroom,if that helps your theory 

[haughton]

tyler, regardless of any theories that we may come up with the facts remain that there was never enough evidence to convict Jeremy!! but plenty to avoid a trial . ie 2 bodies in the kitchen, wet blood on Sheila, someone seen moving about in the house etc. If all this had been presented at the trial. I am sure there would have "benefit of the doubt"

ngb 1066. I still believe in the 3rd party theory. Icould be wrong, but it's no worse than that of the EP !

Haughton, if a third party was involved, why would they have taken the trouble to lock the house after the event.
I also believe the house was bolted from the inside.

Perhaps the third party was an escapologist?

[haughton]

 maybe. I understand that a well known contortionist was in the area- he said he was going to look up a few old friends

Haughton,I totally agree with you.I was merely trying to help you with your scenario as to what may have happened.With all the doors bolted from the inside,the trap door is worth considering?

Hi Haughton, pleased to meet you! Good points here +1

[haughton]

tyler- I don't think that a trap door theory would help. As you say- all doors were bolted on the inside;I should have remembered that! However, it has been doubted that JB had used the window for exit-no marks etc. So, back to the drawing board

[haughton]

This mystery needs Miss Marples, she would have solved it by now

[andrea]

the mystery would have been solved long ago had evidence not been witheld for such a long time.

Also bear in mind Haughton the Bambers had a dog,and had someone tried to get throuh the window the dog would have heard and barked the house down.
It is known that JB disliked the dog, because he had it put down shortly after the murders, yet when the police gained entry it was the only living thing there.

[haughton]

andrea- very true. But what will be revealed on 22 july next ? in the words of the Prophet "wait and see"

Weren't there two dogs?

Yes Grahame, but one was kept outside, the other was a house dog.

I thought I read somewhere that Jeremy locked the outside dog in the shed?
