The RIDDLE of the BACK STAIRCASE.

[maggie]

Sorry guys, I don't see a person shaped figure - looks more like a tree branch!!

I see what you mean but even taking perspective into account it looks really small??

I see what you mean, I am really sorry Mike, but I don't know what a magazine looks like, where is it on the settle?

Dear Maggie, Your post #150' - are you confusing logs with legs? The magazine for Jeremy's Anschutz rifle, is laying on the settle (in the forefront of the photograph), under what appear to be kites (not red ones). It is the grey metal canister a few inches long. As Mike says, this photo corroborates where Jeremy said he left it.
I was always under the wrong impression that Jeremy claimed he left the loaded rifle on the settle!
With regard to the apparent body in the doorway, on its back, and with legs bent, I fully expected Mat to ejaculate 'Bo...cks'! In fact, on closer inspection, where her 'shortie nightie' has ridden up one can identify by the dark hair that the female is lacking underwear.

Is it a case if I want to see things in that photograph or is it a clear cut case that I can see things in that photograph, because I can't see anything like a rifle magazine on the settle nor can I see a dead person...Just saying!

Hi Campion, I see a grey canister on the settle where are the pale blue socks?

Right Maggie, You have now identified the Anschutz magazine, just as Mike pointed it out. This now poses a problem. How could it have been used in the Bamber rifle if it is
evident in this photograph, obviously taken after police entry into the back-kitchen (laundry room), after their initial entry thro' the back door of WHF.
The light blue objects immediately in front of the washing machine look mightily like the blue socks, near Sheila's body in the staged scenario in the master bedroom.

I see something light blue by the bin?  The perspective is all wrong tho' they look enormous for 2 socks imo???

[campion]

Not too enormous if as they appear to be long bed socks.

Too strong,as it's a jewellers mag.glass. I can't make out the object in the doorway ( flowerpot man ),but noticed the magazine and also slippers/socks by the waste bin.

Looks like one of those J Cloth's to me??

A further question requires some thought. If, as is now apparent, the Anschutz magazine remained on the settle, then which magazine was fitted onto that rifle at the claimed 'stage managing of Sheila's suicide?
 Was that magazine checked to be empty for the 'informative s'?
How comes it that a round was left, or placed in the breech of the automatic rifle?
For whom was this bullet intended, which accidentally actually was the cause of Sheila's death?

The socks next to Sheila's body in the bedroom were not big bedsocks, they were just a pair of  pale blue socks. I would hazard a guess they belonged to Sheila or June, unlikely that Neville would have worn pale blue sox but all things are possible.

But how is it apparent? That could be anything, it's not a good quality photograph so you can't say for definite what it is??
