How would you greet Julie Mugford on her return visit to England?

[mertol22]

Julie deluded herself into believing Matthew McDonald had done it,albeit on Jeremy's instructions. Julie was wrong and I'm sure in her private moments judges herself very harshly. Her future husband knew Julie held a dark secret;he just sensed it and they discussed it together.

I sense a book quote here, but something here none the less, julie was wrong , quoting a duran duran track steve, " Is There Something I Should Know "

Strangely enough Matthew McDonald had been to White House Farm previously. Here is Jeremy stringing Julie along and Julie desperate to try and assuage her conscience and take it all in.

So once it was established that Matthew McDonald had no part in the murders,,,would/did Julie then have accused Jeremy outright.?

Never thought about meeting JM. I don´t think she would be particularly interesting, but I would ask her some questions. The first that comes to mind: Julie, how could you accept gifts from, travel with and sleep with Jeremy Bamber after you had seen all five dead bodies of the WHF murders? You say he had been talking about killing them for a year, he even told you he was behind it, so you must have known... - how could you even stand looking at him? Or were you in on it?

I agree Alias I don't think she would be particularly interesting.  I would have no desire whatsoever to meet her.  In fact I would avoid meeting her as she would unnerve me.  The fact that she put the twins to bed and read them a bedtime story on the Saturday before identifying their bodies in the morgue on the following Thursday and then leaving dry eyed ... no thanks!!!  But lets not forget the tears in court!!!

I think Sheila would have been a far more interesting person and was/is misunderstood by many .  Her best friend, Caroline Elston herself educated to degree level @ Liverpool uni, said "Those who thought Sheila was stupid were wrong she was not".  She also said Sheila was talkative and was able to talk about anything (Wilkes book).  Sorry I've gone off track a bit...

I think it dawned on her slowly that her perceptions of Jeremy had been wrong and she had been horribly betrayed.

I believe this is also the april1 thesis,that Sheila was from academic stock. Judging from her school results this proves otherwise,and when she became afflicted with schizophrenia it became impossible for her to hold down a full-time job.

Hello Steve_uk.  As my response is more adoption related I'm going to respond on the 'Adoption Debate' thread.  Bye for now.

Well Steve, it sounds as if Sheila's and my own school reports may have been similar.

Don´t want to create a new thread  soI´ll ask here (not that we should talk about this in detail or name names.)

Does Julie only have two children? I always thought she had two boys, but read she has a boy and a girl. Anyone?

[lookout]

 I knew of children,but not how many,nor if they were boys or girls.

Two boys, I believe, Alias.

 I wonder,when JM was interviewed 32 times,that she received expenses commensurate to those 32 times,or as a " lump sum " from the police coffers ?

[Alias]

I just read she had a boy and a girl - their names was there. Then I googled and found them both. Thought someone here would know more - it isn´t important though.

[Jan]

Also when she came back for the 2002 appeal - did she ever appear? I found reports in the paper where it said

"tomorrow JM will face JB in court for the first time since the murders"  But then there were no reports at all about whether she said anything at all?
