Other High Profile Cases and Persons of Interest > The murder of landscape architect Joanna Yeates in Bristol in December 2010.

Establishing Their Roles.....

(1/19) > >>

[...]:
With the twists and turns in this case and trying to understand each persons role, I was trying to assertain what they did in the papers in the case and if they still are in those position or maybe promoted after their role in The Joanna Yeates Case...

I started to think about this more as I have a great difficulty in even finding certain individuals reported in the media at the time.... And coming across people I wasn't even aware of...

Each had an Important Role in the Case... And by having somewhere to discuss this I believe it will make it easier for new readers who may not know much about the case to see what their roles where....

I thought I would start with a list of names then move to see where they are today... I will do a post on each of the individuals to put thing into perspective... So many names easy to forget who they are and the part they played.. Or how they were connected to the investigation..

(26):  Ray Palmer....

PUBLISHED: 00:00, Wed, Jan 5, 2011


--- Quote ---Ray Palmer, the Service’s principal forensic scientist, said: “Fibres are particularly important when the body is deposited away from the murder place.
--- End quote ---

Whilst  looking for Ray Palmer I believe he may have done the FIBRE Analysis as it is part of his field..... I am not 100% sure if he did any analysis or because as  he could have stopped working as Principal Forensic Scientist by 2010 as quoted below... The Article was published Wed, Jan 5, 2011... I wondered if they talked to him at the scene or had just asked his advice... not sure... Or was he at Canygne Road using the Laser equipment??


--- Quote ---Forensic Science Service Ltd – under threat from economic cuts – revealed that lasers are used to “show evidence of a clean-up”, possibly showing whiter areas that may have been specifically cleaned.

--- Quote ---I am a former employee of the Forensic Science Service (1985–2010), where latterly my position was that of Principal Forensic Scientist.

I am presently employed by Northumbria University as a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader in Forensic Science. I am also a member of the Northumbria University Centre for Forensic Science (NUCFS) who I understand will be submitting a collective response.

The following response is based upon my own observations, thoughts and experience of the FSS closure and may or may not reflect the views of my colleagues.

Ray Palmer may have had a bigger role with this case, but I do not know if he was brought to trial... (I may be mistaken).. He wrote this PDF which I haven't managed to obtain.. but I'll post the link.. It may pertain to Joanna Yeates..

Was Ray Palmer the Forensic Scientist who tested the black coat fibres???

Another publication states that the FFS were not involved with the Investigation at the bottom of their article..


--- Quote ---The fibres examined in many cases are made up of the components of a thread – quite often invisible to the naked eye and unique to one person.

Again...
--- Quote ---They were also thought to be employing vaporised superglue, which reacts with
natural chemicals contained in sweat to produce a perfect white fingerprint.

Fibres found on textiles in the properties will also be studied.

Forensics expert Ray Palmer said: “They can give an indication of whether two
people were in contact.”

But then a find a spanner thrown in the works and go back to believing he had some connection to the case..

--- Quote ---Northumbria’s forensic science courses are taught by former practitioners who have worked on high-profile cases including the Stephen Lawrence, Joanna Yeates and PC Ian Broadhurst murders, as well as the Ipswich serial killer case in which five women were murdered over a ten-day period in 2006.

[...]:
(29):  Dr Kelly Sheridan 

The only reason I found her was because she had had published various articles which state she worked on the Joanna Yeates case...


--- Quote ---Kelly joined the teaching staff at Northumbria University in 2013 after 7 years with LGC Forensics. Kelly was formerly employed as a Senior Reporter in the Marks and Trace department, and a specialist advisor to the Cold Case team for cases involving the potential transfer of textile fibres. She has dealt with a number of high profile cases, including the murders of Stephen Lawrence and Joanna Yeates and given expert testimony in court on a number of occasions.

Did she testify in court????

(5): Forensics Officer  Martin Faithfull.


--- Quote ---The jury was shown images of the snow-covered body as forensic officer, Martin Faithfull, described the operation to retrieve her body.
--- End quote ---

I was surprised about this Forensics Officer... he must have been with Andrew Mott.... He confirms that the body was thawing..


--- Quote ---Mr Faithfull told the court how the forensic team had made efforts to prevent Miss Yeates frozen body from thawing out, in order to avoid losing any potentially significant evidence.

Later I discovered that Forensic Officer Martin Faithfull is a PC.....

(22): Nurse Ruth Booth Pearson

There is very little known about Nurse Ruth Pearson.... I have searched and cannot find much... she was originally mentioned in a tweet at the time of the trial..


--- Quote ---richardpayneitv (Richard Payne)
Read statement from nurse Ruth Booth-Pearson, examined Tabak. He now head in hands in court, head bowed.
--- End quote ---

I found this here... this forum was  posting tweets as they happened as they were following the trial ...

--- Quote ---skynewsgatherer (Harriet Tolputt)
Tabak told the nurse he was normally "happy" and had no previous mental health problems.
--- End quote ---

Is this how they determined Dr Vincent Tabak's health??  Your Not going to divulge information to a stranger straight away! (IMO)

It's always a statement that is read out... why are these people NOT in court....


--- Quote ---This from Harriet Tolputt 6 minutes ago:

"The nurse found a 6x1 cm scar with scab on his left arm and a bruised toe nail."

No doubt from slipping on the snow.
--- End quote ---

With information like that why did she not make a personal appearance to give her expert opinion as to the age of the scar and how and why Dr Vincent Tabak had come to have such a scar... You would have thought more would have been made of such an injury...

I don't even know if Dr Vincent Tabak was ever asked how the injury happened ?? But with the statement being made in court and no one to cross examine... the jury will make their own decision about the scar...
