Since 'Crispy' the shih Tzu house dog was found cowering beneath the bed upon which the bodies of June Bamber and Sheila Caffell's bodies were laying by 9.05am, to enable Stan Jones and Mick Clark to confirm the position and location of these two victims at that precise moment in time, and it took until after 10.00am when the 2nd team of SOCO, compromising of DI Cook, DS Davidson, DC Hammersley, and PC Bird, to locate the dog, it beggars belief why 'none of the firearms team' made any mention of the dog barking again, once they decided to force their way into the farmhouse?
I just can't understand, why the barking, howling, whining of a dog, kept the police at arm's length and beyond for Almost 4 hours , and yet no sooner does the rifle appear at the first floor window, and the six man raid team force their way into the farmhouse, that 'CRISPY' the shih Tzu house dog (or Sheila and the dog) were stunned into perfect silence, and that this coincided with the report that there were in fact two bodies in the kitchen, the body of one dead male, and the body of one dead female?
But where was 'CRISPY' the shih Tzu house dog at this time?
Was he downstairs, or upstairs?
Why is it that the only telephone that was supposedly working inside the farmhouse, was the ivory coloured round finger dial phone in the kitchen, and 'Crispy' was found at 10.00am, cowering beneath the bed, in a totally different part of the farmhouse? Maybe, he came down to the kitchen and barked responses into the handset of the kitchen phone from 6.09am until about 7.30am, before dashing back upstairs in between these communication episodes between himself and the police, or vice versa to conceal himself under the bed?
Or...
Could it be that between 5.25am and about 7.00am, that it was Sheila who the police were engaged in a conversation with from inside the farmhouse? It was Sheila barking and howling like a dog, and it was Sheila who kept the firearms team at arm's length for almost 4 long hours?
Let's assume that the firearms team were engaged in a conversation with a person from inside the farmhouse at only 5.25am?
Note, that the reference is to 'a person' from inside the farmhouse, not to a shih Tzu house dog who was literally barking mad!
