If Sheila Did It

[Janet (Formerly known as Takeshi)]

I see what your saying but if you had murdered your whole family and your house was surriunded by police would you have a wash and put your underwear in a bucket to soak?

I don't know I am not a paranoid schizophrenic but prescription drugs plus non-prescription drugs might make anything possible.

Yeh i suppose we can speculate on tbe workings of the female mind but when you throw her illness into the mix her actions would be different to a woman without a mental illness.

I can't find the 'petticoat' mentioned.

This is the name of the thread which refers to the petticoat "New blood stained petticoat, clue - was Sheila wearing this over her nightdress?"

It is currently on page 6 of the forum. I would post a link but I don't know how to do it 

Thanks.

If Sheila went to so much care to wash, re-dress etc, why no underwear? Why lay down in such a way that her nightdress was rucked up underneath her?

That doesn't fit with her laying herself out, Ophelia style.

Possible i suppose but if Neville phoned Jeremy sometime around  3.30am (ish) and said sheila had a gun (no mention that she had shot anyone at this point ) and then police arrived before 4am i dont see she would have time to shoot her whole family, clean up the guns and then wash and change. Yeh the police didnt enter the house till 7am but if my hiuse was surrounded by armed police i wouldnt bother having a wash iz be watching exactly what was going off and not getti g distracted for even a second.

The police didn't enter the house until 7.35am. That gives Sheila 4 hours to finish the murders, wash, change and then kill herself.

I don't know why anyone would put their underwear in a bucket. It's seems very strange to me.

Also, her underwear could have been left to soak at anytime the previous eve in order to be washed the following day and therefore nothing to do with the shootings.

Male of female mind - when a paranoid schizophrenic is in a full-on delusional stage that results in a homicidal/suicidal rage, why would they worry about fingerprints on guns or bullets?

I am going to go out on a limb here Kaldin and guess that you are a man.

I was a teenager in the eighties and if I was caught short by my period and my knickers became blood stained, my mother used to steep them in a bucket of water before putting them in the washing machine.

Sorry if this bluntness offends anybody but I assume we are all adults on this forum!

Sorry but I just find that completely bizarre.

nothing bizarre about it kaldin, if something becomes blood stained it makes sense to soak the item first before washing it, more chance of getting the stain out of the garment.

Well I think it's bizarre - especially leaving it in the kitchen.

kaldin what i find bizarre is the fact that anne eaton took the knickers home with her, now that really is strange!

They would leave it close to where washing machine is im guessing living in a farm house in early/mid 80s that they may not have had an automatic washing machine anx certainly didnt have stain removing washing powders like we do now! Soiled garments would need to be soaked.
Can remember my auntie having a nappy bucket in her kitchen for soaking my cousins nappies in.

I cannot offer an explanation at this stage as to why she was not wearing underwear when found by the police but what I will say is I don't believe her nightdress would be in such a position when or if she shot herself. I don't believe she was found "Ophelia style". Do you not find it strange that June was also photographed in this position? I find it highly unlikely that either of them would have fallen in these respective postions after being shot.
