The Trip from Adsa:
Dr Vincent Tabak, was at Asda ,and the prosecution have us believe, he did it for an alibi...
I was looking to see how he could manage this trip to Longwood Lane, for a man who not only possibly find driving on the wrong side of the road difficult,.But was supposed to be in a mind set as to determine how to get rid of a body...
The roads are bad with the snow and there must be plenty of traffic around as its the party season...
I used google maps to assertain time of travel:
His Drive from his home to Asda in Bedminster, a journey that would take some = 14 minutes:
He's seen at Asda around 10.30.. we know this from the texts he sent, but we don't know how long he was there for, he went into Asda twice, So roughly = 10 minutes
For his Asda trip: ( no time stamp)
Defense time line 111: a journey that would take you home: Another 14 minutes:
Defence Counsel: In our Timeline 108 to 111- a journey that would take you home. Is that
where you went? As the timeline suggests?
Tabak: Yes.
Defence Counsel: In our Timeline 113, when your car is seen at Clifton Down- after a
period of 20 minutes or so. How did you feel?
Tabak: In a state of despair; panic; unbelief at what had happened.
Defence Counsel: When you left where did you drive then?
Tabak: I drove away from home; I drove in the direction of the airport; and ended up in
Longwood lane.
=20 minutes:
Clifton Downs to Long Ashton = 17 minutes
Long Ashton to Failand is around =7minutes
When he arrives in Longwood lane how long does he spend, trying to manover a bicycle bag out of his car with a body inside? = 5 minutes to get the bag from the boot?
Takes body out of bag= 5 minutes: can't be easy
Then he has to try lift the body up over the wall, which is another 5 or maybe 10 minutes, i'd say...
This is where I get confused.... If the body is in the foetal position when he tries to lift her over the wall, then how could he have pushed up her pink top.. wouldn't her arms have been in the way,how would he lift her?? (foetal position, indicates curled up).. And wouldn't that in itself, made the task extremely difficult??
She would need to be in a tight foetal position, to fit inside a Bicycle Bag..( knees near chin?)
It would suggest rigor mortis ..if not then it would suggest that Dr Vincent Tabak put her in the foetal position and this was not established in court!!
He finds it too heavy to lift, so he sets about covering up the body with leaves= 5 minutes
He also says he saw 2 or 3 cars pass.. he'd of had to stop what he was doing, =2minutes
He has to put the bag in the car, and the Bicycle bag in the boot, get in car and probaly take a deep breath =3 mins..
Before setting off back home... he arrived at home at about 12.10am
He has the journey time back from Longwood lane to Canygne Road... which direction did he drive back? The same way??
That comes to about 1hour and 51 minutes.. Brings us too 12:21am (not including journey time home)
This is not including his journey home or difficulties driving in bad weather and not knowing where he was going, He's already used up all the time available.. And 11 minutes more....
Is it really possible??
And the timeline shows he was at home at 12.10am even recieving a text from Tanja at 12:18 am and a call on landline:
And if he stumbled upon Longwood Lane, then he didn't know where it was... So couldn't possibly have googled it later to find out where he supposidly had left Joanna Yeates.
