Who confirmed the moped was destroyed days later? Before SF deleted all his You Tube comments there was an interesting comment from a local scrap expert saying that the bike would have remained in the local scrapyard for weeks or months before it was moved on to the main Lothian metal dealer. Even if it was squashed that day it would still have been on the premises to be tested if required.
SF's other theory is this erratic moped that had to be pushed most of the time was used to ferry the blood soaked killer away from the V break / crime scene and also maintains the killing took place elsewhere.
Excellent point - My own research concluded that the local yards did not have crushers, very much taken elsewhere for that purpose.
But and again, why should that bike have been sought for testing at all? - There was no forensic evidence of multiple bodies present, bloody footprints going off in all directions, nor a snifter of those boys directly linked to anything to do with samples from the victim. - That world of fantasy of making any escape, those limited brain cells. That blue sweater without a doubt on top of the yellow football top did someone say? That cold summers day.
And again, excellent point around that clapped up bike! The trouble the boys had to get it going, doing so and having a couple of rides up and down the paths then home (witnessed).
The absolute lack of braincells here, honestly - NO viewpoint from over that V break, NO time, NO reason to be making their way down the inside of that wall some distance to have any viewpoint - And of course LM, those boys voices, any noise from the bike, fully alert to the fact of their presence in the vicinity.
This being seen at 5:15pm is on parallel with saying AB could not have seen LM for he had no phone in his hand! - Those estimates to times of her sighting, the guesstimates of time from the person in that car seeing a bike upon that path - OUT of that line of trees blocking the V break, blocking any view of the path or wall. It does not matter a dam if the boys admitted to their bike being stopped, it was NOT seen at the V break in that wall. Just as LM was later, up east from that break shining his torch over to the police!
Last points here - JF telling AW he was on the path just after 4pm, a time [Name removed] would have been making her way home from school, AW and anyone being told that time were naturally going to apply it as being irrelevant. And all this wonderful information repeated over and over, and over again, because of that thorough investigation into those boys, inclusive of testing gloves weeks after the murder took place! It does what it says on the tin, keeps focus away from LM.
