Hi Patti. I've noticed you have some difficulty accepting that Sheila cld have carried out the murders given what you consider to be her "cleanness". If this is so why did the coroner not pick up on this? He must have been happy with the original murder/suicide verdict and at this stage there was no thought of Sheila showering and/or changing her clothes.
The other day you mentioned the close range shot to June between the eyes and that had Sheila have been the killer she wld have had blood staining on her clothes. But as I understand it, given the weapons and ammunition used, Sheila would not necessarily have incurred blood staining from the victims' wounds?
I don't know Pattie. I'm asking the ? to improve my understanding.
Must go for my daily run now.
Hi egap, I don't know why the pathologist did not pick on it, I thought he said he could not determine whether it was suicide or murder. Nor, could he prove she had been in the shower. I can't prove she had and nor can anyone else. It is an assumption, it could be likely.
The other day, when I was talking about the position of Sheila and June and if you stood them both up, from their laying positions, they would both be facing one another, which would make it possible for Sheila to have made the shot between June's eyes, for the spatter goes in that direction too....There is no spatter from June's where she is laid near the door, so therefore it is possible, that she was standing near the bottom of the bed, when she received the shot.
Yes, Sheila would have received back spatter from her victims, especially from the shots to the head. It is known that all shots were at close range. You can see the spatter all over the bedroom floor, your not telling me the spatter went around the person who made the shot, but still managed to land on the floor....for that is not possible.
I know I sound conflicting egap, but that is because nothing can be proved and there is lack of evidence and forensics.....
All the finger pointing towards Sheila for the past 27 years....makes me wonder, that Jeremy has been fooled....and, he strongly believes his sister had done the murders because he gets a phone call at circa:15 in a morning from his father...She= Sheila has a gun, come over..or something to those words...then live goes dead...he tries to ring back the line is engaged. From that ponit a few seconds of his fathers voice he deduced it was his sister who had the gun.....
But, when you look at the crime scene, it does not add up...It looks like June is more the likely one to have had the gun, than her daughter. Why was Sheila at that side of the bed? Why didn't Sheila have blood on her feet after the shower, she had walked through the bedroom that has blood all over the floor...but the pathologist said they were clean...
Sheila certainly had the mental illness, no doubt about that. She was a troubled soul. I also think she would be capable of using a gun, but could she be that vicious? I don't know...... If the police had done their job in the first place, we wouldn't be debating on it all now and maybe Jeremy would be working hard on the small holding he wanted to buy in Devon.....
