The drop / pendant earring...

That is,if a silencer was attached Adam and if JB was the killer.

The evidence is a silencer was used and Bamber was the killer.

The rifle without silencer was also virtually silent.

If everyone was happy that the evidence showed that Bamber was the killer,this forum would not exist Adam.

No matter how silent the rifle was,this in no way tells us who the killer was Adam.

Hiya Jane,how are you,so good to hear from you.Yes all that you say makes sense,as does what Rob says in reply.No one knows how much Crispy barked through the night normally or if anyone in the house took any notice.Crispy would have to do something out of the ordinary to get anyones attention.So whether Crispy alerted anyone that night is very hard to say.I am more interested in his basket at the moment.

For the record I believe Crispy was found under the bed in the main bedroom by RWC who placed him a cupboard to prevent (so he says) further destruction of evidence in the crime scene.

Bamber would have had to nullify Crispy somehow before he committed the crime, he could not take the risk.

That is a very good point Rob,JB would have needed to at least shut Crispy in the kitchen.He couldnt creep through the house with a dog at his feet,probably in the dark.Crispy could have tripped JB up on the stairs,causing him to tumble down stairs.That would have woken the whole household.And if JB did shut him in the kitchen,Crispy would probably get upset and bark non stop.No i think you are right Rob,Crispy would have been more of a problem than Adam would like to admit.

How could anyone upstairs hear Crispy if the kitchen door was shut? 

His bark would have to travel through 2 doors, around corners & up a flight of stairs.

'Dog at his feet'?

No one knows if Crispy even woke.

The evidence is nothing woke the deceased prior to receiving their shots.

JB couldn't get hold of the rifle from the kitchen without wakening Crispy Adam,unless he was a Shaolin priest or a Ninja warrior.

No,i dont like to say something like this,but if Crispy was in the kitchen and JB was the killer,it is more than likely hr would have been the first victim.JB could not risk leaving the dog alive to make the task ahead any harder to carry out.I think Lookout has poined this out many times.

We don't know where Bamber left the rifle during his reconnaisance a few hours earlier.

He would have left it in place that benefits him.

[Adam]

Bit of a 'no win' for supporters with Crispy.

Either he was sleeping in his basket by the aga. Meaning no one upstairs would hear him. If he woke/barked.

Or he was in the bedroom sleeping. So would not be awoken.

[Adam]

The best case scenario with Crispy is he barked continuously downstairs.

However that would only be for a few seconds while Bamber walked up the stairs.

No one upstairs would hear or wake.
