Jeremy did go to WHF on the eve of the funerals,JM and a few friends went with him to collect some glasses and crockery which he said " were for the wake ". All had been drinking.. While there,he was looking around the farmhouse for cash that his father may have left somewhere.
Jeremy had picked up odd bits and pieces,then they all went off to a local restaurant.
Would this have been the time when he helped himself to a few quid from his dads' wallet ? Why not have taken the whole lot,wallet and all ? Nobody would have been any the wiser.
I was led to believe that it was a few days that Jeremy had brought himself to go into the farmhouse,and that was at the request of AE.
Jeremys' need for ready cash was because at that particular time,he knew he'd have had to have waited at least 4 months for the probate,possibly longer because of the complexities of his fathers' will,,and again,this was another reason for him to have sold what he could from the farmhouse to raise some cash,as he'd no longer receive a wage from his father,so at that point,it was need and not greed. Obviously at the age of 24,you'd be hard-pushed to find a material person anyway,hence the reason why the relatives were up in arms about what went to Sothebys'. He had bills to pay. Was he offered financial assistance meanwhile ? I don't think so. Or any assistance for that matter ? Nope.
However,any money raised was spent on a weekend in Amsterdam with JM and BC.
A close family would have taken him to one side to give him some advice,,but this wasn't a close family,which at the time,was probably an advantage ! Because while Jeremy was putting his loss behind him in his own way,,others were phoning/visiting police officers dealing with their own losses of sorts by writing or phoning to the " top brass " in the force telling them how dissatisfied they were with the non-investigation and that they themselves were not being given a fair hearing about their side of the case. Although none of them knew what they were looking for until it was " found ",,along with several other clues ?? Which they said that the" police in their carelessness had overlooked ".
ALL the officers after their investigations,were/had been satisfied that it was 4 murders and a suicide,as were other professionals who were involved,,but the weight was behind the fact that a young woman ( who couldn't watch a chickens' neck being wrung ) had killed all her family.
