Harters, as I understand it, this clothing had only just come to light and the police had not previously seen it.
It is inconceivable that blood stained clothing found at the site of a masacre and identified as belonging to the person then accepted to be the killer was not handed into the police for detailed forensic examination and that it was instead removed and destroyed.
Choc, Jackie et el.
This is taken from Ann Eatons COLP statement, it seems that people who are saying she took the soaked clothes home with her are somewhat mistaken. She clearly states that she rinsed them out and put them in the bin.
Well I'm glad that's been cleared up!
There were two statements, weren't there Harters, or another section of this statement on this issue? In one of these I'm sure I recall AE mentioning how she persuaded a police officer present that the blood on the clothes was menstrual blood - which would have meant it was of little or no significance in respect of the murders. AE suggested that she could smell the difference between menstrual non-menstrual blood.
I'm not sure Choc, I've lost track of what's on here and what isn't. I'll have a search around to see if I can find anything else.
Here you are, Harters, from the '[Sheila's feet thread:

Yes, Ann Eaton spoke about this when COLP interviewed her in 1991 - she said that the defense would probably try to suggest that the silencer had been deliberately contaminated with the blood from the knickers which she had taken away from whf, and how she had told DCS Ainsley that she could tell the difference between ordinary blood, and menstrual blood because of the smell, to which Ainsley is supposed to have said to her something along the lines "you remember to say that in the witness box if you are asked about it"...
Yes, I will try to locate that document for viewing...
