I have always tried to keep away from what The Yeates family did and said, but I think the early part of the time when Joanna Yeates was reported Missing is important.....
Words Spoken of Mr and Mrs Yeates: From Murder at Christmas Part 1 and 2
The Mobile phone went, quite near midnight and Greg's name flashed up on it ,which I thought was, (pause) Unusual.
And er.. Then he said, is Jo with you? and we said (shakes head) No why would she be with us. And he said, all of her belongings are here. Her purse, her keys, and things like that.
...
There was No rational to it, (deep breath) and so we decided then that we would drive down to Bristol and we asked Greg to phone the Police Immediately.
...
Greg had all ready gone though the bag, she used to carry around with her. Found Jo's wallet, glasses, everything really. The only person (Breaths out) The only thing that wasn't in the Flat was Jo herself.
...
We walked around the block, just to sort of looking over walls, to see either the pizza or something to do with Jo, her clothes, and I remember sort of banging on boots of cars as well. Just incase she had been abducted and locked in. I knew there'd be no hope because it was so cold. But it's just not knowing what to do.
...
I noticed these foot prints going diagonally across the lawn, and I wondered where these came from, and I saw these two people , a shorter person and a taller person, walking along the same path,, They must have been the ones that caused it...
As I was going to the flat, she stopped and the smaller person was Tanja and she asked if she could help, and er, the man stood well back away, didn't say anything.
I was frantically looking for bits of evidence when we got there, there was,pockets ,diaries, everything really.
...
We really didn't know what to do, in searching because there are so many area's around there, it's very difficult, just sitting inside , waiting, waiting ,waiting, not really knowing what was happening in the back ground.
...
(Jo's parents were now visiting Tabak's Flat)
she was very kind and is there anything I can do.. I think she said I , I don't know if she said we, but he definetly took a step back as far as he could get from the doorway.
Firstly we have the phone call to Mr and Mrs Yeates, near midnight , she tells Greg to phone the Police immediately..
But it takes him until 1:00am to do this and inbetween the call to The Yeates, Greg rings CJ at 12:30, and doesn't speak to him, CJ notices on the Monday morning that he has a "Missed Call"
Why did it take Greg nearly an hour to phone the Police to report Joanna Yeates Missing after Mrs Yeates had asked him to call the Police Immediately???
What happened in that time, of almost one hour ????
We have Mr Yeates meeting Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak after they must be returning from being out... He is the one who says that Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak must have caused the foot prints, But before that what had he been thinking??
At this point of Tanja and Dr Vincent must be aware that something is going on, as Tanja asks is there anything I can do.. What time is this... I believe that it is before the Police arrived and they witnessed, Mrs Yeates banging on car boots, making a racket.
Mr Yeates meets Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak on the lawn, and Mrs Yeates says when they got there... Mrs Yeates is frantically searching for bits of evidence." there was, pockets ,diaries, everything really."
Now if this had been an abduction by a stranger as Mrs Yeates had suggested that her daughter was abducted... Then why would she be
"frantically looking for bits of evidence when we got there, there was,pockets ,diaries, everything really."I wouldn't imagine she would be personally... I would have thought that she would have waited for the Police as not to disturb the evidence and contaminate the evidence, if she thought a stranger had abducted her daughter..... So what evidence was Mrs Yeates trying to find??
Mr and Mrs Yeates visit Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak's Flat.... Tanja asks is there anything she can do, and it is commented upon that Dr Vincent Tabak takes a step back....
Now the timing of these events are most important.....
Did Mr Yeates see Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak on the path before the Police arrived or after ???
I tend to think it was before, I believe it must have been around the time that they were searching outside and banging on car boots making a racket and disturbing the neighbourhood... I say this because Mr Yeates say
As I was going to the Flat she stopped and asked if she could help..
I believe if the Police had already arrived by then, Mr and Mrs Yeates would be inside Flat 1 talking to the Police and telling them their fears.... It could also possibly be when Mr Yeates popped out for a cigerette as I know he smoked.. But I would have imagined he would have been on the doorstep smoking, unless he was advised not to... But he clearly is down The path as he mentions the foot prints across the lawn... But it is the next bit that makes me think the Police were not there already...
I then believe that Mr Yeates told Mrs Yeates, when he came inside... And that is what prompted them to go around to Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak's flat, to ask if they had seen anything of their daughter.... And probably try to establish if they had seen anything of her over that weekend..
Dr Vincent Tabak at this time has witnessed the seriousness of the situation by the reaction of The Yeates, and I believe that he just didn't want to get involved ... plain and simple... (IMO)
This Visit by The Yeates to Flat 2 has to also be before the Police arrive... (IMO).. Because we find out that The Police go to Flat 2 at 4:15am on Monday 20th December 2010 accompanied by Greg....
I think the Yeates were clutching at straws and when the Police arrived they told them what they did... And I think that it is The Yeates visit to Flat 2 and Mrs Yeates noticing that Dr Vincent Tabak took a step back, that prompted, the Police to go and bang on his door.....
But why did Greg accompany the Police?? I find that strange... when he didn't accompany Mr and Mrs Yeates around to Flat 2 when they first went to talk to Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak???
By 4:15am we can understand Dr Vincent Tabak being reluctant to say any thing to the Police... and probably similar reasons he didn't get involved when Mr and Mrs Yeates arrived at their Flat...
Dr Vincent Tabak is probably still suffering from Jet lag... He has been up all weekend very late and he needs his sleep.... Friday was late, as he picked up Tanja from her Party... Saturday I believe that they both were out... And now we have Sunday when it has to be gone 2:00am for the Yeates to have arrived from Southampton after the phone call... Seeing and talking to Tanja outside the house and then going around to Flat 2 to talk to them again....
I am sure at this point all Dr Vincent Tabak really wants to do is go to bed , as he has work in the morning ... But Mr and Mrs Yeates go around and knock them up and asking for their assistance, because Tanja offered... At this point also... you have to remember that Joanna Yeates is a Missing Person.... And Dr Vincent Tabak... (imo) probably was too tired to take any notice and just wanted to get back into his bed.....
And I believe Dr Vincent Tabak's reaction is quite natural considering he has had little sleep all weekend and had not long been back from America... He possibly thought that Joanna Yeates would just turn up, and couldn't wait to get back into his bed.... At this point as far as anyone knew... "no Murder" had been committed.. But an adult female had gone Missing...
I do not think Mrs Yeates really singled Dr Vincent Tabak out... In her anxiety over her daughters disappearance, I think Dr Vincent Tabak's lack of concern, for a Missing person, might have her wondering why he didn't want to get involved.... And she would not be aware of Dr Vincent Tabak's circumstances at this point... (lack of sleep etc)
On another video Mrs Yeates says she is the one who find the receipt in Joanna Yeates coat pocket... And as there was NO evidence of this Pizza in the Flat.. that I believe is why she mentions looking for the Pizza... When in reality I do not think Mrs Yeates would be looking over walls for a Pizza that her daughter bought.... she would be searching bins etc...(imo).....
And there cannot have been any evidence of a Pizza in the Flat either in the bins, as they wouldn't have been looking over walls for this Pizza... So The bin in the Flat must have been empty like Greg said... So where was Greg's Pizza wrappings and box??
She doesn't ask Tanja and Dr Vincent Tabak about the Pizza either....
Why would Dr Vincent Tabak take the Pizza anyway... that has never made sense to me..... You have just killed your neighbour within minutes of meeting her and you think that the Pizza is going to be the clue for the Police.... Just like "The Candle Stick" in a game of Cluedo.... apart from the fact Joanna Yeates wasn't killed with a Pizza... So it had NO RELEVANCE to Dr Vincent Tabak... Because he would have taken the cider also if that had been the case...(imo)
