Who was Sheila's accomplice ?

[lookout]

If he'd seen the dog that they'd heard barking then he'd have described seeing a small fluffy dog as opposed to an Alsation. It's all about accuracy--------and EP weren't, by any stretch accurate.

Under normal circumstances you'd probably agree with me,but---------------

Firstly,for hair to appear straggly it has to be a certain length or it can't be described in that way. I don't think that Nevill had the hair length that would have " fallen forward ". Older pics gives him the look of having longer length hair but we're talking a few years later,when he was 60 in fact.
IF Nevill's hair had appeared straggly then that would have indicated wet hair-----showered ??
But where was the description ? A person with fair/dark hair ?

Then you would be wrong! Nevil had haor that the combed over the thinning patch and when his head was forward, the hair hung down. I have seen a high res picture of Nevil's body and the hair was definitely long.

If the officer saw enough of a person then he'd have been able to describe her/him. It's what they're trained for.

He didn't see 'enough' of him. His head was shoved in a coal scuttle and not even the police come with X-Ray eyes.

[Caroline]

There was NO other description-------bleeding/injured/on the floor/on a chair ?

He wasn't standing at the window taking notes.

Half a dozen comb-over strands doesn't equate to a full head of long hair.

No.

No one needed to see the dog to know it wasn't an Alsatian - it was heard barking.

So if the head was hidden how was the length of the hair seen ? Plus he had the build of a male ?

[lookout]

He wasn't standing at the window taking notes.

No--the notes were supposed to be in his head,weren't they ? Unless his memory was impaired.

[lookout]

No.

Pedants don't usually.

No one needed to see the dog to know it wasn't an Alsatian - it was heard barking.

Exactly,that's my argument concerning visual descriptions.So why couldn't they differentiate between a male/female person seen through a window ?

Oh! FCS, Lookout!!! The guy was a POLICEMAN, not a West End hair stylist. You can 'thin' what you like, but in my, too many years to say, time as a hairdresser, a hairdressing tutor, and an examiner, I DO know what I'm talking about. It's also a given, that men of his class, never, EVER change -providing the don't loose their hair- the hairstyle they adopt in their school days. I also know the difference between hair which is blood soaked and hair which is wet. Without seeing it, I KNOW Nevill's hair to have been blood soaked. I CAN'T because I wasn't there, categorically state that it was wet from being just washed.

Nevill had   a rather luxurious head of hair.

So I'm right in saying that blood-soaked hair would have appeared flat to the head and not long ? Coupled with the head itself hidden inside the scuttle------why wasn't it described this way on looking inside ??
