I have not stated you were at the scene, and I accept you were not at the scene; and you have agreed that you have stated that you have seen a picture of Sheila dead on the bed wearing no knickers.
Also to note not being at the scene certainly does not hold us back from commenting on the case - that's for sure!
Do you know Mike (or anyone) if there is any other (official) reference to Sheila not wearing any knickers when found - or do we only have your (Mikes) reference to this?
My point here, as referred to earlier, is that in order to support altruistic suicide it would make more sense to me if Sheila was wearing clean knickers if she killed herself!
As Shocking as it appeared to see the photograph of Sheila on the bed, when I visited Ewen smiths office in Birmingham at the beginning of 2004, it was even more disturbing to note that she was not wearing panties. If she had been wearing panties at the time of her death, or even when she was found by police once they got into the farmhouse, why would anyone want to take off or remove panties from the body of a good looking dead woman? If police removed them, why? What did the police need to do that for? What happened to any clean panties she might have had on, and if they were removed by police, what exhibit reference were given to this elusive pair of clean panties? I personally do not think she put on a clean pair of panties once she had taken off her other heavily sanitised pair in the kitchen. Linked to the discovery of Sheila`s heavily bloodstained panties having been found soaking in a bucket of water in the kitchen, was the discovery of an empty tampon holder in one of the other downstairs rooms, and a box of 9 tampons upstairs in her bedroom? Sheila appears to have opened a full box of tampons upstairs in her bedroom, removed a tampon from the box and gone downstairs to put her bloodstained panties into soak in a bucket in the kitchen. The exact sequence of what she did and when she did these things can only be speculated on, but at some stage one assumes that she paid a visit to the downstairs toilet with a view to cleaning herself up, and that she went into the solitude of the lounge during the middle of the night and inserted a tampon. I do not profess to know when she undertook these activities, but it seems to me that if she was the shooter, and she intended to kill herself, then there must have been very time elapsed between her performing these activities, and her dying, and this would help to explain why she was wearing no panties when police found her body. Her possible use of the downstairs toilet during the middle of the night to clean herself up, would also of course put her in the very same room where Anthony Pargeter kept his .22 bolt action rifle, silencer and ammunitions. This of course could help to explain how two different weapons, and a variety of different .22 ammunition could have been and possibly was used in the shootings...
