Title: Sheila's Canvas Shoes OR Neville's Slipper?
Post by: Caroline R on August 31, 2013, 07:02:PM
Someone (I think Patti) asked about the black canvas shoes in Sheila's room mentioned by AE. They were apparently taken away by police officers who told AE not to mention that they had done so. Is this a woman's 'canvas shoe or a man's slipper??
Title: Re: Sheila's Canvas Shoes OR Neville's Slipper?
Post by: Caroline R on August 31, 2013, 07:03:PM
I would say that it's most definitely a MAN'S slipper!!

It looks like a mans' slipper to me. They were arranged as a pair in the pic of June lying on the floor.

My guess is that it's a man's fur lined slipper...............but Steve will probably say it's a FLIPPER ;D ;D

Perhaps, but this is Sheila's room, they are sticking out from under the bed with her make-up on.

Unless it was possible that June also had a pair the same. Checked/fur-lined.

Caroline, I have previously suggest the possibility that under their normal domestic arrangements Nevill slept in that room.

No, he wasn't but might it be possible that he'd left some of his things in there. He may not have had the need/time for fur lined slippers as it was summer/harvest time.

Post by: susan on August 31, 2013, 07:24:PM
Caroline that looks like a man's slipper and as the whole scene was staged how would we know how it got there.  Obviously not worn as it would have had evidence on it and would have been destroyed along with other valuable items.  Sheila's black canvas shoes must have been taken to destroy as maybe blood on them.

april  according to steve it was a very warm night and that is why Sheila slept on top of the bed :'( think your theory could be right think Ralph would have his own room when Sheila was not there and maybe just left his slippers under his own bed.  Wh knows somebody does but they wont share it with us :'(

It wasn't a particularly warm night Susie, that's why Jeremy was wearing layers, it was cool for August, just Steve's poetic license  ;D ;D ;D
It's possible what april suggested, it's possible he had an old pair and a newer pair, bit strange tho ???

There is nothing else on the floor that could be described as 'canvas shoes' - I 'think' these are the items she was referring to and they are quite clearly men's slippers. They don't appear on the evidence list as either slippers or shoes????

Maggie steve had to have it a warm night as he states Sheila slept on top of the bed (her covers were not turned down) Jeremy had had a Radox bath (according to steve) after he murdered his family so probably cold when he went out so needed layers ;D ;D ;D ;D it gets better by the minute.

AE spoke about the 'shoes' as if they were Sheila's but they can't have been Sheila's, no way.  How did they get there, I wonder?
Why did she find it so strange that Sheila didn't sleep in the bed by the door?  AE is such a Miss Marples, d'you think she thought that was a clue??

I thought that Susie and then I realised AE meant the one bed hadn't been slept in at all but Sheila had chosen to sleep in the farthest bed while staying at the farm, she must have slept somewhere before that night.  I don't think Sheila had slept that night either.  ;) ;)

Title: Re: Sheila's Canvas Shoes OR Neville's Slipper?
Post by: susan on August 31, 2013, 08:08:PM
Maggie the other bed was full of stuff her makeup etc she would have slept in the bed the night before and merely pulled the quilt up over the pillow as we do next morning I think it is logical that nobody slept in the other bed what is she talking about.

She seemed to be able to find Jeremy's guilt everywhere but I can't for the life of me make out what she's inferring concerning the beds.

Maggie, if someone had said those words to me, the first thing I'd have asked is who else the expected to be sleeping in the room. Had she not already mention the room where the twins had slept I would have thought that she was expecting that they would have slept in the same room as Sheila.

I have to say that's a good thought Susan, it is a possibility, especially as Nevill was having trouble with his back and maybe was more comfortable in his own bed, so they spread out into the other room as well. 
It reinforced the fact she told Julie that Sheila was found on the bed in the main bedroom.
Ralph must have usually slept in there because there was no surprise from AE that his slippers were by that particular bed.

You know, I just can't see ANYONE being in the know about June and Nevill's sleeping arrangements, but it's possible, that having been told that Sheila and June had been found together on the double bed, she jumped to some sort of conclusion, but at the moment I think my brain's gone AWOL. ;D ;D ;D

I agree, I think it's very possible they were either in twin beds or different rooms when alone.  Snoring or other disturbances  is quite a common reason for separate rooms.

Howz about this. Because of his back, Nevill needs the space afforded by a double bed and JUNE sleeps in the single bed. I don't think she would have minded saying that, for "medical" reasons, they slept in different rooms and Ann expected that she would have shared the single bedded room with Sheila.

well now it seems the twin room was the usual room for June and Ralph and AE thought Sheila was in the double as that is where her body was found but AE did not know that they had changed rooms.

So the slipper is not the same as Sheila's shoes as the shoes were by the wardrobe?  Are there any photo of these?

EP still said "You haven't seen this".

AE's statements just ramble.

Hopefully, EP have better typists these days who know how to spell (not use homonyms), and understand grammar and punctuation.  The lack of all this leads to so much confusion.  Complete dimwits.  It would be funny if it wasn't so serious!

Where does it say that Susan? She refers to the 'spare' room as Sheila's room and describes seeing lumps on 'the' bed in June and Neville's room. I haven't read anything that suggests they slept apart and the double room is always referred to as June and Neville's room.

I can go with the possibility that maybe Neville has been sleeping alone because of his back but he's a big man so would imagine the big brass bed is probably a long bed to accommodate his height.  He's be far too long and very uncomfortable in one of those single beds.
So why are his slippers in the spare room?  Unless they were moved from the main bedroom by the police but why would they be?

Hi Maggie, the point is that AE said they were Sheila's shoes and the police took them away asking her to keep quiet about it.

I know but they can't have been Sheila's shoes/slippers, that's crazy.

It's only crazy because now you know what they look like - previous to seeing the picture you would have assumed they were just female shoes. Perhaps that's what we're supposed to think BUT the police saw fit to take the shoes next to the wardrobe and to say nothing. I see no other shoes next to the wardrobe and no mention of Neville's slippers being in that room. Why aren't the shoes/slippers on the evidence list? I don't know what it means either but something isn't right.

It was Jones, Miller and Cook who took the shoes/slippers on the same day as they took paint samples from the fire surround on 14th August.

So if I was guessing Caroline, I would maybe think there was something  on Sheila's canvass shoe's the police wanted to conceal.

Possibly but I just can't get my head round why they didn't want anyone to know they took them and also not include them on the evidence list?

Morning Caroline  AE's statement is a tad confusing and I am not sure which beds she is referring to but would assume it was the single bed near the door as if you look at the bedcover on the double bed it was all messed up the single bed was untouched and she says when I pulled back the cover I found bed linen (as if the bed would be made up once Sheila had left) All so confusing but then again how accurate was AE in her statement.

Hi Susan,,I found yet another bedroom last night while I was doing my googling.The bed looked like a three-quarter one ( same size as my own ) and it had bow ends in brass. There were all kinds on the bed,,including a phone which had been dis-connected. I must try and find the thread,which is on this forum from 2011,I think. It was a very clear pic. taken after the tragedy because there was no carpet,,and it was obvious that either someone had moved in,or was just about to move in,,by some of the articles on the bed,and a jacket/suit hanging up at the back of the door.

I think the photograph you are referring to is the main bedroom after the Eatons moved in. EP went back (can't remember what year) and took the carpet up to test the bloodstains. Is the photo a shot of the bed and the door to the box room (that side of the room)? If so,then that is defo the main bedroom. I don't think there are any photo's of the other two bedrooms (Jeremy's and the twins) in the public domain.

Hi April,,amongst the Case-Related pics,,are a couple of pics of Sheila,,which I hadn't seen.Interestingly,in the position she's lying,her right foot must have been soaked in blood,as you can clearly see the amount underneath.   Also,, the pic shows her broken toe nail.
It's surprising what you find when googling. ;D ;D

I think Sheila's black canvas shoes were taken due to having blood spatter on them. Why else take them? I agree that is a man's slipper in the photo that Caroline posted. Looks like a courdary type with a furry inner. Doesn't that kind of place Nevill in Sheila's bedroom at some stage that night? I also noticed the piece of paper under the bedside lamp. I take it that was the note with the Please and 3's?
Also,note how Sheila appeared to like the colour blue. Blue clothes on the bed,blue eyeshadows,blue nightdress etc. I think it is fair then to assume that the pale blue socks photographed with Sheila in the main bedroom were indeed hers? Then there is the blue item of clothing hanging to dry over the bannisters. Unless it is the lighting conditions,the item does not look to be fully dry,which is interesting. We also have the blue item of clothing on the floor in the laundry room and was there a blue item of clothing near the bin in the kitchen?
In one of the documents on the forum,(maybe something to do with Paul Terzeon)there is reference to a robe with blood on the sleeve. I wonder who did this belong to,could Sheila have been wearing some kind of robe/dressing gown at some stage?

Hi Tyler, it's unusual that no one mentioned the slipper(s). AE mentions the shoes so why didn't she mention the slipper or the fact that Neville's slippers were in Sheila's room.

Anyway, here is a better picture of the socks

Hi Caroline. Jones and Cook probably removed/got rid of the slippers before they handed the house back over! What fascinates me in the 'socks' photo you have kindly posted is that the blood spatter is all around the rug,appears to go under the rug,but there is NONE on the rug. The only conclusion this can draw is that the rug was put there after June had bled there but before Sheila had lain/been laid there. But why?

Hi tyler, have noticed before that the rug Sheila's lying on does seem to have been placed on the carpet before Sheila was then placed on it.  The blue socks surely have to be hers?....what a farce!!

Maybe but then they should be listed in the evidence?? N

Is this spot on the rug? (1st pic)

The socks might have been put there after the blood spatter because one of the spots looks to be partially under one of them (2nd pic)

I don't know how large were Sheila's legs but from the straight edge of one of those socks, they look more like the leg of a pair of jeans.

I wonder if Sheila's bedroom was checked for blood drops?

This scene was staged by EP, along with the bible and the rifle, at a time when it was officially four murders and a suicide.  Why?  To cover up basic or strategic mistakes made by the firearms team, perhaps, and who thought it wouldn't matter as Sheila had shot herself anyway.

Later on they colluded to say it was JB who set out the scene.

As an aside, I can't remember the last time I wore socks, but when I took them off they always ended up inside out in a sort of 'ball' -  especially long ones, and not neatly placed on top of each other!
