One of the 'Commanders' of the police operation at the scene (from 5am to 8.30am), PS Adams did not enter the farmhouse until around 9am. At this time, he visited the main bedroom where the bodies of Sheila and June ended up. At a debriefing held later that same evening at Witham police station, Adams voiced his concern that the position of Sheila's body which was captured in PC Birds crime scene photographs shown to everyone present, appeared to suggest that her body had been moved after he had viewed it, for Sheila's body to have ended up in the position shown in the photographs...
Years later (1991) when Adams was interviewed as part of the 'COLP' inquiry, he told them that when he first viewed the scene in the main bedroom that in discussion with other officers present there at the time, how it appeared that June and Sheila had been engaged in Bible study shortly before the mayhem ensued. Now, this is very interesting because it involves mention of a Bible, which despite 30 years having already elapsed still remains 'unaccounted' for. In total it is known that there should have been four separate Bibles in use at the farmhouse, yet one of them (either, DRH/33, or DRH/44) is 'missing. If Sheila and June had been Bible reading as touched upon by Adams in his 'COLP' interview, it suggests the use of two Bibles in the main bedroom, not only one. I am tending to favour a different Bible on Sheila's chest when her body was on the bed, and a different Bible near her body when cops moved her body from the bed to the floor. Locating the whereabouts of this missing Bible is paramount toward reconstructing what cops did with, to, or in response to Sheila's body, right up until the moment PC Bird started to take photographs after the bodies had been staged by the cops themselves. Then there is the issue of the anshuzt rifle which ended up on Sheila's body, where just prior to this and in accordance with what 'Stan' Jones, and 'Mick' Clark told relatives at Jeremy's cottage on that first morning of the investigation, that the rifle was laid on the bed in-between the bodies of Sheila and June...
At 7.15am that morning, APC Julia Healed spotted the barrel of 'that' rifle leaning against the side of a first floor window. It is irrelevant for the purposes of trying to keep things simple, at which upstairs window the barrel of this rifle was seen at. All that matters is that 'the rifle was at one of the upstairs windows at around 7.15am, where previously no such rifle had been present. The rifle therefore which was at an upstairs window at that stage, could not also have been laid on the bed in-between the bodies of Sheila and June, or upon Sheila's body on the bedroom floor clasped hug tight against her abdomen by her right hand, since the said rifle was either leaning against an upstairs window, or it was laid on the bed, or it was on top of Sheila's body, at around or by 7.15am, the same rifle could not have been in two places at one and the same time. No, I will rephrase that for the purpose of being entirely specific, ' the said rifle could not be in three different places all at the same time (window, bed, floor). At 7.15am, however, WPC Jeapes had accurately trained her eye with use of the scope afixed to her rifle on one particular first floor window where the barrel of a rifle had abruptly appeared out of nowhere...
Whilst in the process of reporting what she could see back to the Commander (Seargent. Adams) at the forward control point, Jeapes noticed the armed six man raid party making its approach to enter the farmhouse. Without any doubt then long before the first cop set foot inside the farmhouse, of key importance to all and sundry was the presence of the rifle at one of the upstairs windows. A rifle had abruptly appeared there out of the blue, at a window at which for the previous three hours or so, no rifle had been present...
This tells a trained investigator a lot of things...
