Did he not say he travelled to Canada for research for his book?

Well I guess there is only one reason he would do that .

But did he manage to secure any meeting? That we do not know do we?

If he offered her £25,000 I bet he would? ;)

I read similar with his " findings " about the real Jack the Ripper. ::) Even that was wrong !!
Perhaps these sort of books are aimed at those new to the case, rather than the initiated.

I would be very surprised if Harrison manages to provide anything even approaching new evidence, in Bambers case. 

Were it not for the 30 year aspect, I wonder if this book would ever see the light of day.
Whatever happens, I can't help but feel that it will be an anti climax.

Neil,he's got no chance of finding anything. Half the stuff is mothballed anyway and what isn't,is classed as confidential,i.e.Sheilas' case notes. Only Jeremy and his solicitor are privy to these.

He said here that she did not want to be interviewed.

Took a peek at the reviews on Amazon re; Paul Harrison's last book 'Dancing with the Devil' about the Bible John murders. They dont seem to be very good. Readers talk of lots of 'padding' in the book and at hints towards who the author believes responsible but no evidence to back it up. There are also complaints about 'nothing new' being revealed in the book.

I thought you had read ALL of PH's books? Isn't that what you said when he joined?

I have decided to seek legal advice regarding the newspaper article.

If there is a way I can take legal action without risk I will.

Then if any money was paid I would like to put the money somewhere it could be used for Jeremy.  Maybe Ngb could look after the money as he has the expertise how the money could be used

It would be nice to think something good could come out of such a nasty newspaper article

I don't know how I stand with a case against PH or the newspaper or both

Well by naming your employers  he did not exactly make it difficult for your name to be found and "associated " you indirectly with a death threat that he made it quite clear he was accusing Jeremy of - so I guess it is a matter of trying to establish whether legally you have  any recourse .

I could look after the money for you Jackie. I could put it into a box here called "petty cash". :)

Jackie does in theory have legal recourse.  Because she is identifiable and is clearly linked in to an allegation of a serious criminal offence she could sue the newspaper for libel.  In my assessment she would have reasonable prospects of success.  However, proceedings for libel are eye wateringly expensive.  Apart from the costs of solicitor and counsel there is the risk of losing and having to pay the costs of the other side.   Newspapers tend to fight libel actions as they hope that the individual will be deterred from continuing by continually rising costs.

Ngb do you think anyone would work on a conditional fee arrangement

It's not about the money it's the principle and any money might help Jeremy with his case as long as it was controlled
