could of been good thinking.

at the end of the day somone who had long all there life suddenly decided they wanted a new hairstyle the day after there cousin murdered yes that could be coincidence but a few people might say it was a bit suspicious.

[gordo30]

JF cut his hair to put himself st the crime scene as witnesses said both people on the bike had short hair. JF had long hair so couldn't have been on that bike.

why would he do that why would he want to put himself at a crime scene.

surelly you would be trying to do the reverse wouldent you.

[marty]

I thought that he cut his hair because he matched a description put out by the police. Was this not before they came forward?

[nugnug]

i think the fact somone who had the same haicut all there life suddenly decides they want a diffrent sstyle the day is suspicious whatever the given reson.

sandra refrsh my memory did jof give a reason for the change of hairstyle.


and gordo if it wasnt jof in the bike then who was it.

[sandra L]

It's a strange one - the witnesses all described the youth on the front as wearing a baseball cap and the youth on the back as having short dark hair. GD had short dark hair but said he was wearing a baseball cap, so the youth on the back didn't fit a description of JF. It cOuldn't have been JF on the front, cause he wasn't wearing a baseball cap - very odd. JF said he cut his hair because he didn't like curly hair - seems he just had a bad hair day. The description of stocky man wasn't released until 11 days after JF spoke to police, but  the family probably knew about him before then

[nugnug]

well im pretty sure wasn't the stocky man.

from pictures of seen of him I wouldn't describe him as stocky.

[sandra L]

I agree, nugnug, but he seemed to think people might "mistake" him for stocky man on the basis of them both having curly hair - which means he must have known the description of stocky man before it was released in the media.

One of the reasons he gave for cutting his hair was fear of being wrongly accused. One of the reasons he   gave for not coming forward sooner was fear of being wrongly accused. One of the reasons he gave for lying about the time he was on the path was fear of being wrongly accused - why was he so obsessed with the fear of being wrongly accused.?

[nugnug]

hmm but why would having long hair lead to him being falsely accused

at the time he cut his hair no witness descriptions would of been published.


which leads to another question if he wasn't on the bike with gd why did gd say he was.

and why did the real passenger on the bike not come forward.

.

[gordo30]

I didn't suggest anyone who he may have been covering for, in the end it's not far fetched to suggest that it wasn't JF on the bike due to the description of the two people who were there.

[nugnug]

Actually he had short curly hair, but don't let the truth get in the way of you stating your far fetched theories as facts. JF has never had "long hair" and indeed has been totally bald since his 20's. Also nowhere near the size or build of the person you're suggesting he was covering for. Fancy sharing that with everyone?

at the time of te rime he was 16 so what he likes like now is totaly irlvant.

so if hes never had long hair could you explian why donald findley cliamed he did in a court of law and whhy he dident deny it and why sevral nationel newspapers reported it.

could it possible be the jof wering the helmet and not gd and the staements got mixed up somehow.

[gordo30]

Smoke and daggers a bit here in the end JF was described as having light curly hair, by definition curly hair would suggest longer than say short dark hair as per witness statements

[nugnug]

who did the moped belong to jof or gd.
