Adam's Claims...

[snow66!]

Did EP not know how to obtain a silencer?

But it had to be a believable story, Adam. So the police needed to have a second silencer found after they had vacated WHF and before JB went back inside after the murders, hence the relatives were the perfect choice , and naturally they would agree to the scheme because they were sure JB was guilty anyway.
I mean, obviously the police couldn't just say they searched the house again after questioning JB in sept and lo and behold found another silencer with Sheilas blood inside it, could they?

It's these kind of ideas that do JB no favours.

Trouble is, Dave, if JB was indeed framed, its very hard to work out how, all we can do really is have a guess.

It is interesting why no blood of Nicholas was in the silencer.

No, it is not.

Because it was not on the gun when he was shot. There was no skin tissue in the silencer either.

Yes, there is far more pressure inside the skull, ILB!

Thats why I think the silencer evidence was orchestrated by the top brass once Julie came forward, Adam.
They needed time once she came forward, they had nothing at that time, else JB would have been remanded in custody instead of being freed to go on holiday.
The backspatter theory was probably thought up and the silencer contaminated while JB and Brett were lying on the beach.

The silencer in the state that convicted Jeremy came into existence at the very latest August 13st.

Ok. So EP asked the relatives to say they found the silencer. Although they didn't.

Guess nothing was found when the relatives were inside WHF with BC & BW.

Poor Taff not knowing what was happening.

So much evidence against him.

Appreciate he has just focused on the silencer since the 90's as the relatives found it.

Not enough blood.

What did Cock and Wilson say regarding the finding of the silencer, Adam?

[ILB]

Not enough blood.

Elaborate please.

[David1819]

What did Cock and Wilson say regarding the finding of the silencer, Adam?

From the new yorker article.

"Shortly beforehand, the family had summoned Barbara Wilson, the farm secretary, to the house, and she told me she suspected that the discovery had been staged for her benefit. “I would say that they’d already found it, but they wanted someone to prove that they’d found it,” she said. (Ann declined to comment on the circumstances in which the silencer was found, but David insisted that “never was there a ‘re-staging.’ ”

That is interesting but I don't regard BW as the most reliable witness in terms of the supposed NB monologue and her contradictory views on JB.

[snow66!]

No, it is not.

Do you think the relatives were responsible for the paint on the silencer and the blood inside, Dave?
Had they heard of backspatter or just thought that it was possible for blood to run into the silencer ?
And was Stan unaware of the fact that they were responsible for the blood inside and the paint, if so, were the relatives just hoping that the silencer would be opened up and the blood found?
