Very well thanks. The question to ask is not whether Sheila called the police on a 999 call, but which emergency service did she ask for when the operator responded? She was surrounded by police, so she didn't really need to call them. But if she had a sudden concern for her family, might she have dialled 999 asking for an ambulance?

And how did things then progress from then........

It is all falling into place.

IF Sheila called the operator and asked for an ambulance, how come she was 'supposedly' passed to Milbank? He was a police officer.

I was wondering that.

I wouldn't say it is my favourite bit.  However, if an interview or statement was somehow forged, that would be the beginning of the end.  I think the vultures would circle.

I have always had reservations about the alleged 999 call.  For it to progress for the defence, there would need to be a way of undermining any evidence being used to show it was not a 999 call from the farmhouse.

The fact is that to believe either June or SC could know the telephone number of Chelmsford divisional HQ is a stretch. Any call from WHF at that time would be a 999 call IMO.

I am working on a post.

Most likely Sheila spoke to the ambulance service first; the operator must then have decided to connect the call to the police.

Once the call is connected the operator is disconnected. Why would he/she still be on the call? Plus we have the operators statement, which completely contradicts what Milbank is saying now. Also, you say he was told to keep his mouth shut, but he says he wasn't asked about it until now. Like I said, it makes no sense!

No, he said it was discussed in the 1980's.

The West log states at 05.50. That the GPO will continue to monitor and let them know if they hear anything. The Bonnett log says that at 05.55 the operator can hear a dog barking. She was updating someone. This would not stop Milbank listening in if he wished.

She connected over about 5.50am Bubo and  say's she didn't listen in at this point or again?

So he kept quiet all these years - even after Ainsley left the force, but now he's singing? He doesn't mention being threatened by anyone, his just says he wasn't asked.

Still, what does it matter as long as The New Yorker sells thousands of copies to its gullible readers? -

Has the aledged 999 call and moving of the bible been added to the CCRC submission?

The OS has 8 grounds. Believe 2 have been added. One being the aga door.

Maybe David can tell us.

I know Bill wrote to the CCRC. Asking them to refer the case after the New Yorker article.

But it would have to be added to the current CCRC submission.
