I am attaching a document obtained from Avon Fire and Rescue Service. It gives details of vehicles, equipment and the number of personnel deployed to help the police recover Joanna Yeates' body from Longwood Lane.
It seems, to me, that , even though it would have been difficult to move a frozen body that was surrounded by snow, an excess of staff and equipment was used for this task.
It makes me wonder whether Joanna's body was, in fact, found where we were told it was found, ie on a verge at the roadside, or whether it was discovered somewhere far less accessible. A number of people who live locally, and who know Longwood Lane (which I do not) have commented (on other fora) that they cannot believe Joanna's body was by the roadside for 8 days without being discovered, as Longwood Lane is very popular with dog walkers.
Only the "Daily Mail" and ITN news commented on the fire engines at the scene-----the rest of the media were very quiet about it.
I do realise that none of this discounts Vincent Tabak as being Joanna's killer, but it seems odd, all the same.
