though i suppose i does not necasrrly prove nevile called them.
one police could of phoned another police station.
though if that was true the police would have no reason not to admit to it.
Hi nugs,,if I can get this right,here goes-------Jeremy had rang Witham police station after Neville had rang him. There was no joy from Witham,so Jeremy was put through to Chelmsford ( after having been agitated waiting for a reply ) via radio link and told police there that his father had rang him, stating what his father told him,and how he'd tried to ring back his father but the line was engaged. During the time that the line was engaged would have been when Neville was phoning the police. Two cars were then sent to WHF,both from different directions, with one arriving minutes before the other.
Whilst phoning the police,Jeremy had said that Sheila went mad at anything and had done this before,,meaning that on occasion,Neville had rang Jeremy for assistance to help calm her down.
It's been said that Jeremy drove slowly to meet the officers at the farmhouse,,but from Goldhanger to WHF would have been pretty dark,and the winding roads would have made it dangerous to go at any speed. I can't imagine at that point that Jeremy would,or could have known how serious the situation really was.
If he'd sped to the farmhouse,that would have been wrong too,so he couldn't win. Anyway,,young men the age he was at the time,,don't exactly rush into anything anyway.
Jeremy had been involved in a car accident in 1984,as one of the officers knew him from then,,so another reason for Jeremy not driving like a bat out of Hell. The officer was PC Saxby,who was in car CA7.
However,,back to Nevilles' call,which was logged,but didn't appear some years later as it had been rolled into Jeremys' call. There were two separate calls made from two people.
Both Jeremy and his father could well have been trying to phone each other and that's the reason for the engaged tone.Nothing sinister going on at all.It just needs some thought of what could have happened.
