Found---handwritten suicide notes. Sheila's ?

[buddy]

That " scam " was in police hands because nobody could make head nor tail of it ( the writing ) That's not to say it still wasn't an exhibit,it was,but was filed away and now that it's getting an airing------nobody believes it and is calling it a scam. It's got an exhibit number. I give up !!

No Lookout, not the writing, but the appeal for money.

Okay,I've just realised that. The charges from Forensic teams are obscene,it's not the fault of CT as they're a non-profit organisation. Though the guilters would have us all believe that CT are raking it in.

You should see the astronomical charges that investigators,etc charge for dealing with this ! Now that IS a scam !

Forensic teams.  The mere thought that the CT are asking for MONEY for forensic tests on these letters is abysmal...... What can they find ? Nothing. Nothing can come of forensic tests on decades old letters.  The only point in the whole thing is to get more money.

and don't forget it's urgent. They need it within 28 days.

Why? Does it turn into pumpkin after 28 days.

Wonder what's happened to all profits from pen sales?

You'd be surprised at what cold cases can throw up years later. Men have been released on " old information " being " found ".
CT will make nothing,they wouldn't be allowed to run the business as a profitable organisation which I'm sure they'll have gone into through Trudi's husband being a company director for a number of years.

Then again,there's a big difference in there being a slim chance or no chance at all to Wishing and Hoping that JB doesn't have a chance ! I rather feel it's the latter with most,sounds that way to me.

Even if Sheila did write the letters (and I actually think she probably did), so what? They don't mention murdering the family, they seem to be a rant about Colin - in fact, she is asking for her 'mother' to be cared for. She wouldn't be asking that if she had just shot her. She makes no mention of her father or the twins in the past tense and the phone number isn't even an Essex number. They could have been written anytime.

It will have been ploughed into the coffers of paying a QC,barrister,solicitor,prison official,forensics et al.

They don't have to mention murder for in Sheila's mind she was sending them to a better place.Sheila had already spoken to Ferguson about killing and even he hadn't taken that threat as real Her reason for being concerned about her mother stems from her mind being jolted into reality as she saw her in the bedroom beneath the light and would have shown dreadful fear at what she'd done.

The phone number is immaterial and probably didn't mean anything to Sheila at the time,but it had been tried by a past member who just got the unobtainable tone.

I think after 28 days...the suicide note turns back into a letter.

It's someone who works on behalf of prisoners.

Of the suicide type.
