It's clearly a bloody capital D and related to the bolts.
I don't mind some sensible debate about some issues, but this is starting to twist words.
Of course he COULD just have said "no bolts" out of the blue eh?
Come on Mike, be realistic on this one!
-------------------------------
Finds silencer in cupboard Down in garage - no bolts, could easily mean that he found silencer in a cupboard in the garage which had no bolts on the door...
in my opinion...
In Robert Boutflours other Diary entries, he claims his son found the silencer on 11th August 1985, not 10th August 1985...
Yes, you're right, it COULD mean that at a push. But you're taking the lesser credible option and presenting that as prime.
I think it's wrong of you Mike.
Why not say "Could this indicate the silencer being found in the garage?" rather than "David Boutflour found a silencer in a cupboard in the garage at whf"
Virtually all the evidence says that wasn't the case, and yet you open with that statement?
I concede that the 'D' might be a mistake (however unlikely) and that the 'garage' doesn't relate to bolts (however unlikely) - combine them both and it becomes even more unlikely, but still possible... but come on, play fair - it's a very 'outside' point of view being presented as matter of fact.
I'd love to get to the truth, but I don't believe this technique helps anybody.
----------------------------------
Two silencers (SBJ/1 and DB/1) ended up in police possession, in addition to the Bamber silencer (DRB/1), which was found in th gun cupboard, on 11th September 1985. Police records confirm that David Boutflour did not contact them about finding that silencer (DRB/1) in the gun cupboard at whf, until 11th September 1985. Another police record shows that Ann Eaton handed that silencer over to the police on that same date. There is other evidence available to prove that the silencer in the gun cupboard at whf, was not found until after the scene had been fingerprinted by EP, and other statements still, which prove that the scene was not fingerprinted until after the nature of the investigation changed on 6th September 1985, into SC/786/85, and that at the time the silencer in the gun cupboard at whf was found, there was fingerprint dust all over the place, as verified by numerous witnesses, who claim to have been there at the house on the occasion the silencer (DRB/1) was found. Now, that is evidence which cannot be ignored, and it is bona fide evidence, no matter what anybody may wish to try and say about that...
If the above is true...
Boutflour could not have found another silencer in the same gun cupboard in the house on 10th August 1985 - it stretches the imagination a lot to expect anyone to believe such rubbish...
So, where did the other silencer come from? Where was it found? The typed notes of Robert Boutflour suggests that this other silencer (DB/1) was / could have been found in a cupboard in the garage, in the absence of any proper explanation forthcoming, from either the relatives themselves, or EP, why shouldn't one believe that this additional silencer that did find its way into police possession, was found where Robert Boutflour suggests it was found - in a cupboard Down in garage - no bolts...
that silencer could not have been found in the gun cupboard inside whf on that date (10th August 1985) for all the reasons given previously, so it is reasonable under the circumstances to assume the silencer that Robert Boutflour is talking about was found in the garage...
in my opinion...
