Now, I missed a trick here.... Skimming, I am still guilty of it....
Buro Happold.... Now Dr Vincent Tabak may have worked in the Bath Office... But I also believe that he worked in the Los Angeles Office... And that was the reason for his trip to America... He could well have been freelance for all we know....
As our anchor office on the West Coast, BuroHappold Los Angeles offers innovative integrated engineering services to the city’s world renowned design community. Since opening in 2006, the Los Angeles team has worked on a number of award winning projects around the world. Our significant local portfolio includes the city’s most iconic projects such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Building for the Permanent Collection and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, currently under construction.
As the Los Angeles Office has been open since 2006, it is extremely possible that Dr Vincent Tabak was a regular visitor/worker at these Offices....
The Defence did not produce Dr Vincent Tabak's passport, or any ESTA(Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications for travel that Dr Vincent Tabak would have needed for his trip to America....
The Prosecution have always lead us to believe that they looked at Buro Happolds computers.... Well did they check the computers at the Los Angeles Office ???
I always had this vision of Dr Vincent Tabak sat in a little motel somewhere in the middle of nowhere with his own laptop and a Tv in the room....
Now Dr Vincent Tabak would not have needed to take his laptop with him to Los Angeles (imo).. There must be programs were he can access everything at the Bath office via a password... Therefore eliminating the need for a laptop... But whilst we envisage him sat bored in his hotel room emailing Tanja daily, we never stopped to think that he may have had another alternative access to the Internet.. That being by Buro hapolds own computers at their Los angeles Office ....
Brings a different complexion to things....
So did the prosecution produce Buro Happolds computers at trial.... NO!! Did they ever contact the Los Angeles Office .... NO!! Whom in the Los Angeles Office could vouch for Dr Vincent Tabak and his behaviour ???? Who in the Los Angeles Office knew anything about Dr Vincent Tabak???
There is so much more to discover about Dr Vincent Tabak and his work, I believe we have just touched the edges.... Was Dr Vincent Tabak actually in the country when Joanna yeates and Greg Reardon moved into Canygne Road ???? How do we know he was ????
A man who travels for his work.... goes to different Buro happold Offices around the world, and we do not know whether or not he was in England when these two people moved into Canygne Road....
How comes I still have questions??/ Are these not the type of things that The Defence should have been cross referencing ???
Now Buro Happold is an "Engineering Firm"... They are NOT architects... I had that word stuck in my head for years... If Buro Happold were architects they would have made it to the AJ100...
http://aj100.architectsjournal.co.uk/view/overview/2010/view.aspxAnd of course they are NOT there.... But as firms they do team building exercises .... And Buro Happold do partake in these activities, which the likes of BDP do attend....
Now I know many people have said in the past that it was wuite possiblre for either Greg Reardon or Joanna Yeates to come into contact with Dr Vincent Tabak because of ..
(A): Their work would need collaboration, and it was possible for them to get togethr..
(B): A Team Building exercise, where both companies where involved...
But.. what if Dr Vincent Tabak was out of the country a lot of the time working at various Buro Happold Offices around the world, he would more than likely have not come into contact with them because of his absence, rather than any other reason ....
Now how many "People Flow Analyist did Buro Happold employ at their Bath Office ?????
Because we have a lady by the name of JINU VARUGHESE
Senior People Flow Analyst Bath.... (2010)
Jinu is a Senior People Flow Analyst within the Smart Space team at BuroHappold, with extensive technical knowledge and modelling experience on various projects involving flow of passengers, pedestrians and crowds, in sectors ranging from cultural to sport stadia, and particular expertise in the education sector.
After completing a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and a Master’s degree in Construction Management, Jinu joined BuroHappold in 2010, being inspired from her thesis relating to people movement behaviour in buildings. Since joining BuroHappold, Jinu has been leading the technical analysis in people movement projects and helping clients design buildings optimised for people flow.
She has been working in her position since 2010....
So what of Dr Vincent Tabak???? What was he doing in 2010 in Bath??? I am not sure he worked for the Bath Office anymore... He very well could have worked abroad.... Dr Vincent Tabak was supposed to be so good at his job that he helped everyone in the Office... Well why have we a Jinu there also... How many "People Flow Analysts " of a senior or any position do "Buro Happold " employee in any Office ??
Jinu didn't testify to knowing Dr Vincent Tabak or that they worked together in the Bath Office ....
Tabak: I had been working on a very big project- A Holy Mosque in Mecca- I was doing
some analysis on it – the flow of pilgrims to the Holy Mosque. This was a project that
Buro Happold was tendering for.

I Cannot find this Mosque Dr Vincent Tabak was working on... But why aren't the Offices nearer to Mecca doing the work?? Did Dr Vincent Tabak ever work at these other Offices ???
The trial gives us very little insight into Dr Vincent Tabak... It allows us to believe that he just gets up every morning and cycles to work and that is it... When in reality i believe that his job was far more complex than that...
So who truly knew and worked with Dr Vincent Tabak??? Maybe the people who could vouch for his character lived far and wide across the world... And that didn't come into "The Base Metal Service" that The Defence allowed....
Edit.... Did Dr Vincent Tabak travel alone when he went to Los Angeles... Or was he accompanied by another Buro Happold employee????
