Another Freudian Slip?

Is it? It's a short drive home and as the crow flies from GH to WHF, it does't look that far and if the trailer was already in the field, he had that to drive the rest of the way.

Then back again over the fields after killing 5 people?  Possible I'm sure, think local people have more of an idea about the distance, the state of the pathways and fields he would need to navigate etc.

Caroline had Jeremy intended to stay overnight I wonder as Alias said if the Bambers noticed he had taken his car home unless his home was nearer to the trailer than WHF then they would have accepted why he drove off in his car.

Having lived there most of his life, I'm sure he's pretty familiar with all of the short cuts.

I'm not really saying he didn't or wasn't familiar with the short cuts, at least I would hope he had at least worked that out beforehand, I have said its obviously possible, was just commenting it was quite a bit of dashing about.  Some footpaths do meander all over the place and I don't know anything about the country side in rural Essex, I would guess it was mainly arable, rather than dairy farming and it's generally pretty flat around there?.

Then notcing the car doesn't even enter into it. He went to the field to fill the last trailer but came back without it - why? I think it's possible that he used this as a means to start an argument with Neville, then drove off in the huff, dropped his car off and called Julie, went back to the trailer and brought it back to WHF with a feeble apology and because his car was back at GH, he suggested staying the night.

Just had a look at a map. It is rather far to walk - even if the trailer was situated to make the walk shorter.
We don´t know where the trailer was - it could have been on the other side of WHF compared to Goldhanger.
This is all a bit too convoluted, like the theory is made to fit some "difficult" facts about the case.

Caroline that makes more sense to me he has the excuse to stay over as he has no car and Ralph could run him back next day after work.

I agree that is a possibility makes more sense than climbing through the window imo

I think window theory is a red herring.

Maggie this way it would rule out the dogs barking and waking the family up.  Does anyone know what was the situation with regard to Jeremy's old bedroom.

The full distance is only 2.21 miles, not far at all.

It's not like he was against the clock.

I still find the whole thing a bit over-designed to explain difficult points about the case.
Well, you know I don´t buy into this.
