the gunshot resdue mystory.

[nugnug]

There should be gunshot resdue on sheilas dress weather she shot herself or if jeremy or somone shot her so why isnt there.

[lookout]

Because she'd have been in her day-clothes during the shooting,then changed afterwards.

[Adam]

Most of the gun shot residue will be on Sheila's hands. Together with lubricant from re loading and blood from carrying out the massacre.

Her nightdress will be ripped and covered in oil, blood and gun shot residue.

But as supporters have said, Sheila showered and changed after the massacre.

that's 1 explanation.

[lookout]

Even if Sheila hadn't washed/showered,any residue would have been removed anyway while undressing.
Not forgetting that she could also have soaked her clothing at that point too.

If there was the alleged struggle,there could have been traces of residue on Neville's hands or even June's,but neither were tested,as I'm sure one or both parents would have tried to wrestle the gun from Sheila.

[nugnug]

good someone else of shot her and then changed her clothes doesn't really seem plausible.

[Caroline]

Sorry, this doesn't make any sense, she was OBVIOUSLY shot wearing the nightdress because of the blood stains on it. If she shot 4 other people, then yes, you would expect gun residue - further support of her NOT being the killer.

[nugnug]

but you expect if Jeremy shot her as well not as much but there should be some.

[lookout]

There'd have been plenty of blood on Sheila's nightdress if she'd worn it during the killings. I'm surprised that pics that have been shown,certainly don't equate to much of a bloodbath anywhere, considering the amount of times that the parents had received shots.

Then again,that would have also have indicated that both had been shot after death too.

There you go Lookout, even you can see that she would have had at least some of the other victims blood on her nightdress if she had shot them while wearing it.

there could still be blood on the nightdress if she wasnt wearing it but it just happend to be near wear the killings took place.

But as it happened-----she hadn't been wearing her nightdress during the shooting.

Evidence?

[lookout]

As a matter of interest,which side of Neville was against a wall/door ?

[susan]

Lookout I am not sure what Sheila was wearing but I always thought the nightdress was more like June would wear perhaps she borrowed it from her
