Does anyone know anything more about the training exercise? What would this have entailed, exactly? This thread seems a good place to ask, since it appears that the movement of Sheila's body must have taken place around that time (if we accept the information JB's solicitor obtained from his meeting with Dr Craig and his wife). I shouldn't think it's worth starting a new thread. I just wondered whether there is anyone reading this who actually knows from their own experience about the sort of training exercise which apparently took place at WHF.
None took place, it's a total myth.
I'm waiting for somebody to come forward with ONE other documented case of a murder where some reenactment took place with the bodies still in situ.
It beggars belief.
A week later? retracing footsteps? yes, perfectly believable.
OK, but does anyone know what the term "informatives" means in this context?
And does anyone have some idea why so many more officers traipsed through the house than EP were prepared to admit? Unless that is a myth, also . . .
We did have a legal librarian taking an interest in this case, with ballistics experts among her friends, if I recall correctly, so it is just possible that there is someone in the forum who has friends or family in the police force who could explain this, and that's really what I am interested in (TBM, if you're one of them, I apologise, but in your post you are essentially asking the question which I posed, albeit in a different way).
My understanding is that EP's investigation was below standard even for the day; if it's true that a member of the press was invited into the house to take official photographs at 9am, something which I am not sure happened, I admit, then it's not so difficult to imagine that they would have been capable of other unusual behaviour . . . which could at least account for EP's reluctance to release certain pieces of evidence to JB's solicitors. OK, they provided one solicitor with a photographic album perhaps not previously disclosed but they did not allow him to use it, so it was information they presumably considered an embarrassment of some sort).
