The meeting with The Sun newspaper:

[Caroline]

Where can we see the letter?  How do we know it is a fake?

It's on the forum somewhere and if it's real, I'll join Paddy Ashdown and eat my hat. It has the same note of fakeness and the email about the monastery.

Lookout, It certainly looks as if we are meant to believe that it was written by Sheila. IF it was, what does it reveal, other than a dysfunctional relationship with her mother and a tortured mind, both of which we are all aware. What it doesn't, to my mind, indicate, is the mind of a potential murderer. Rightly or wrongly I have misgivings about its' provenance.

I seem to recall that several of us "amused" ourselves for several days by trying to decipher a supposed code allegedly written by Sheila before we came to realize we were being "had". I don't doubt YOUR sincerity but you CANNOT be unaware of some of the outright rubbish and lies we've been drip fed in the time I've been a member of this forum. None of us likes to feel duped by something we've put faith and trust in. My own desire for the truth is as great as your own.

It must have taken me a week after I first saw it,to decipher half of it for it to make any sense or to even get it into some semblance of order. How many people would have known the Christian name of professor Egan. ? Only those who were seen by him,which were both women in the same year.

It still could have been written in June's hand,as her letter to the family began with " My Darlings ",as Jeremy felt sure it wasn't written by Sheila.If I remember rightly,the  hand-writing was a bit sketchy too.
Even Sheila's letter to AE was " odd " saying that the CIA were no longer after her and she was joining the CND.

I'm quite surprised that Jeremy said no to it being Sheilas'.You'd have thought he'd have leapt at the chance to" add another string to his bow " in the form of a weird letter written by his sister ?
When I first saw it I thought it was an admission for the murders. It's always puzzled me,worse than ever now that I can't find the bloody thing. I'm so glad I copied it though,as although it was there on the screen,not much notice was taken of it at the time.

I'm sitting here killing myself laughing at Jeremy's interview with EP. Where JB gets muddled over times and SJ puts words into his mouth.

Q" You see Mr Bamber we know that at about 3.26 that morning you phoned the Police. We know that at 3.15 you phoned Julie up. What have you to say about this ?"

A." You are very clever men to prove both clocks were accurate ."

Q." I will tell you the Police clock on Control is always accurate." 
Q." What did you say to your girlfriend when you phoned her up ?"

A " I cannot remember,you tell me ".

Spot the mistake. How was it SJ knew the times before being told ?

It reminds me of the apprentice who worked on a farm where ducks were kept and in order to make a distinction of where the the breed came from,the farmer lifted the duck up and smelled its behind.
This one,he said,sniffing,is an Aylesbury.The next a Campbell and a Muscovey,etc etc.
The apprentice was fascinated and amazed,then the farmer asked him where he was from,so the apprentice answered, saying, you're the expert.

Funny that the situation was so serious he felt he had to call Julie. But can't remember what he said to her.

The situation was also so serious he felt he had to call Julie. But when asked why he called her, he said 'no comment'.

You would think he would be able to answer both questions so soon after a horrific night.

Tyler will bear me out when she's on the forum again,as both of us were trying to decipher it to make some sense of it. I can't for the life of me remember where it originated from,but it was possible that Mike had had it on an old disc that he'd removed to transfer.

His words to your query were " that he was pissed off and wanted a friendly voice to speak to ". Wouldn't you ?

lookout we will ask tyler when she returns from her hols,

[lookout]

 It wasn't tyler,it was Jan. I always get mixed up with those two.

[lookout]

Jan's got a better memory than me. It was last year I know that much.

[susan]

hahaha lookout they are both lovely ladies and know the case that is why you get them mixed up

[Jane]

Am I right in saying that having allegedly receiving a called from a "panicked" Nevill and looking up the number of several local police stations instead of calling 999, he "felt pissed off and wanted a friendly voice to speak to"? Would it not have been better to do something constructive? Perhaps doing what Nevill asked and get lover there?

C'mon,have some empathy.Jeremy was in shock, it's no wonder he felt out on a limb,he had nobody to talk to. He was looking for reassurance and it wasn't forthcoming.
I'd go as far as to say he was scared at the unknown. If he'd KNOWN how ravaged with insanity Sheila had been,then no doubt he'd have hurtled to WHF at top speed,but because Sheila had " cried wolf " in the past,this was something he HADN'T expected.

Careful you don't let that guard slip.

 Found them. Threads- note 1- and note 2. Just over a year ago.
Handwritten notes kept by " Taff "Jones,written by Bambi before her death. May 26th 2014.

[lookout]

Oh Lord,I hadn't realised there was more to decipher.Ah well here goes.It'll be worth it if it throws anything up. No wonder Jeremy said it wasn't Sheila.Perhaps because of her skewed mind,it had reflected in her writing which he wouldn't have recognised.
