What -- taking into consideration all that has been released transcript wise thus far and your own personal research thus far -- do you think LM did between 1740 - 1755? Do you think he had a bomber jacket planked nearby to change in to (ie, planked there previously by himself?) Do you think it was brought to him by either CM or SM? Or do you think he went home to change jackets? Or that he had worn the waist-length bomber jacket beneath his veneers of clothing between 1740-1820?
How things stand at present Mr Apples - There has been nothing produced to show LM wearing that bomber until with DH in the Abbey. This has changed from a narrative fed of 'all' witnesses seeing him in one from just before 6pm onwards. A trap I fell into like many others.
LM was seen, not at the estate entrance in those sightings but further up NR. He applied he walked a short distance to see if his girlfriend was in sight. There is nothing to corroborate that claim. He was not seen on the pavement looking up the road, not seen looking down the road as if returning to anywhere. He was seen standing in off road.
I used to apply that he was seen several times in the space of 20/25 mins, placing himself into a window of opportunity to be seen, putting alibi in place. Now, it's he was seen several times in the space of just 5mins and not attempting to make himself seen at all. Then nothing of him until around 20mins later, will hold fire until we see that testimony (if acquired) from the boy who got a puncture??
He told DH to meet him at his home. The AD put it to CM that he went home after calling her? A decision made to have a fire? Then LM changed the meeting place with DH to the Abbey instead? Tying in with him keeping anyone away from his home whilst the fire was taken place? The fallacy that it would be illogical to have a fire, that the police could have arrived any moment. LM would have been any point of contact via his phone first and foremost.
We are still left with, LM in his dark green, khaki coloured clothing. There are still those missing time frames. From just after 5:40pm to just before 6pm. From approx 6pm - 6:20pm. Then nothing again until with DH in the Abbey. Nothing from after 9pm until seen going home at 10pm. Then nothing of him until with others after 11:20pm. And we still cannot leave out SM not seeing his brother whilst exiting that estate after 6:20pm
(now)
The reality of what he 'only' had to do. Get rid of anything incriminating, put alibi in place. Remove anything from his actual self, the very little of him exposed to the elements. Water source all around. The application of how easy it would be to remove very recent contamination with that natural source. That includes removing scent from the soles of his footwear! It has always been fallacy to apply scrubbing manky ankles, engrained dirt from anywhere, not having to thoroughly wash hair with shampoo and hot water!
Which leaves us with clothing and blood contamination? Again as I have applied before. Dark green, khaki clothing, is not going to be showing blood as bright red. No one was up close and personal with LM to notice any difference. He would have known exactly what was visible.
People speak of opportunists, LM easily that opportunist. With that comes planning, a degree of pre-meditation. Something that was applied with him at trial. Times changed that day which could have resulted in that opportunity arising for the killer. And it most certainly was not all sweetness and roses for the young couple?
A straight forward sequence of events, links that have never been broken - He was seen in the lane, seen some 45mins later, seen again several times in the space of 5mins. All sightings wearing the same colour of clothing. Replaced both shirt and jacket the following week. Claimed to own neither pre murder. The knife and the ludicrous application of, off the wall fallacy in attempting to give answer to his whereabouts and actions that day.
Irrespective of any manipulation - LM led that girls family directly to her body in and around 5 1/2 mins. Where again he lied, his attempt to give reason for knowing exactly where to point Kelly in the direction of. Still nothing to do with damn dog, no dog led LM to finding anything.
