why dident they go in.

[nugnug]

All the indications are that she did wash and make-up. That gave the impression that she didn't do the crime. Look at her face. Made up to the nines. Nails clipped and glossed. Hair still wet as you can clearly see in the photographs. She put clothes in the wash bucket and Ann Eaton took them away thus destroying the evidence. Then put a clean nightie on.

if her hair was still wet that means she must have recently washed.

[lookout]

On a cerebral level, she'd have been leaving things neatly tied up, everything in place and a place for everything. On a spiritual level she was looking her best for meeting God, rather like putting on ones best clothes to go to church.

Part of the preparation,April. I'd like to think that I'll be presentable when I meet my Maker.

[Alias]

I cannot tell from the pictures whether Sheila´s hair looks wet, but I can see that it is freshly washed - I think just left to dry without combing.

[susan]

Alias I have always thought Sheila's hair looked freshly washed and had just been left to dry naturally.

[lookout]

 Sheila hadn't been looking after herself either,,so she made sure that night that she was refreshed.

 Her features didn't show any fear or dread,,as in being led to her death.

Grahame I would have thought the nightie Sheila was wearing belonged to June.

It very much looks like that; but let´s wait and see if there isn´t a certain someone here who is also an expert on how women´s hair works - he sure knows all about fingernails and varnish.

He's probably a tranny.

How are you supposed to tell from a photo if hair was freshly washed or not?  Unless hair is particularly dirty and this shows in a photo you can tell it wasn't washed.  There is no corresponding way to tell if it was washed unless it is wet in a photo which means it was either washed or there is a major leak somewhere.

 Here ya,,someone's wound him up again.

 Sheilas' hair had a tendency to look like " rats tails ",,as remarked by her friend Sonja who used to tell her to get it cut,etc.

[nugnug]

how long would her hair of taken to lose that look.

She washed and tidied up her nails and painted them, The only explanation. The shots into her neck would not have been heard. Why? (1) Thick farmhouse walls. (2) Both were contact shots having the same effect as a silencer would. Common sense. The simplest answers are usually the right ones. Better explanation than to have Bamber pissing around with phones like he was a contortionist.

Sound travels through windows and any shots fired would have been heard by those outside.

There is no evidence at all that she painted her nails or bathed moreover painting will not conceal broken nails or damage to skin on the hands as would have resulted to anyone who used the rifle to bash Nevill's head in unless they were wearing gloves.

 

[lookout]

 Both her hands were bloodied by the way,as the handprint on her nightdress was from her right hand.
This was from the pathology report. Chances are,the blood inside the Bible would have come from the palm of her right hand.
