Interesting posts HB.
I mean youv'e got Stan, he's been accused of all sorts, but when you look at his timeline, he's had Wed, Thurs, Friday, on the case, he's obviously not Happy from what he's heard from Jeremy, but he's got nothing other than Suspecting Bamber.
He's relayed his feelings to Taff and goes Friday evening with Taff, hoping for Taff to agree with him, Taff went about the two statements and what officers had said and what AP had said about the rifle and Sheila, they then come out and Taff kinda cuts Stan short, "Still murder Suicide", the two statements matched as far as Taff was concerend?
At this point, Stan would feel a little deflated on the Friday Evening, but he's off work over the weekend on the 10th and 11th. He gets Back on the Monday, Probably resigned to the fact there is no evidence and then up Pops RWB, kicking off why haven't they been to fetch the silencer, there's blood on it, i think he went about 5.00pm to Oak Farm to fetch the silencer and he left at 10.30pm. He probably asked who found it, there is only PE there i think Anne had gone to WHF alarm trouble, and then returned, so Stan would say, i might need a statemnt at sometime of DB?
The 16th, he's on Holiday annual leave and doesn't return till the 2nd of Sept, so technically, he's spent about 6 days on the case and from 7th of August till 2nd of Sept he's away. Yet he's accused of being into all sorts and in it at every turn.
Barlow Takes over the investigation, Taff called Barlow in on the 24th i think to see how it was going, and Barlow is like Stan, not happy about Bamber, but has nothing on him. He comes away from Taff with the feeling that Taff wants him to keep plugging away and come back when you have something concrete to go to his Bosses with.
