I'm loving Mr. Bower!!
He's the gift that keeps on giving, and a typical Bamber supporter!!
I'm intrigued to know why, after all this time, it's only NOW revealed that local police knew of Sheila's malady. Does it not raise our curiosity to know why it was that Jeremy didn't explain that 'fact' as his reason for trying to contact the local constabulary rather than dialling 999? Jeremy has never once mentioned it. Does it not beg the question, that being the case, why did Nevill, allegedly call Jeremy, rather than the police who, unlike Jeremy, were au fait with Sheila's condition?
Of course, I have to ask why, as the poor child was so obviously ill, were police EVER, previously, bought into the equation? Surely, one's first port of call, in a medical crisis, be it physical or mental, is a doctor or ambulance, and does this not give the lie to Jeremy's claim that his parents were private people who were dismissive of involvement from outside agencies? According to this "ex policeman? Mmm, I wonder?" they'd already become involved.
Is it not also rather odd, that Sheila's malady only required the intervention of police during those times she was at WHF? And isn't it also very odd that not one person from the tiny village of D'Arcy has claimed to know anything about it? There hasn't been revealed anything about intervention from the London force, nor did Nevill recommend Freddy to call them for back-up the night he was with Sheila, when she was having a breakdown, and claimed to be "terrified for his life".
This, ultimately, could prove to be nothing more than the remote possibility that Nevill, in a moment when he may have been despairing over what should be done for Sheila, voiced his concern to a police person whose company he in at the time.
