With the benefit of walking the route earlier this year, it would be unlikely LM exited at the RDP end, instead following the woodland strip down to just before the yellow gate but staying on the north side for about 50m following the wall until it stepped down to opposite the gate he was spotted at. Going directly across from RDP drops straight into a stream with a high drop and a very steep embankment on the other side so very highly unlikely someone would consider that route or exit RDP and walk down the pavement side.
I reckon he would have stayed hidden on the high bank on the woodland strip north side as the RDP was much too exposed and near the brow of the hill/road for oncoming motorists. Obviously that didn't quite work out.
They really do try paint that stupid image, but then according to the narrative, the killer/ accomplices were running up the middle of the road wielding the murder weapon. But heaven above someone of LM's intellect would dare try to cross that road when he thought clear.
He had little choices, he needed over that road, out of that clothing and seen to be waiting. This is reality. Only he knows the exact spot he chose, certainly not the path entrance, not over that V, zero forensic evidence. Only W and NW, then to combat the forensic evidence they invent the bleach and magic potions story. We know that LM was first upon the path, over that wall and he picked zero up upon the soles of his boots.
I believe he chose to cross and was caught because of that car coming over the brow of the hill. He wasn't just relaxing and having a nice time at the gate. Caught and stopping with his head down, trying not to be recognized, looking up as the car went past - Face seen. Again that is the reality, not diving to get out of sight, unable to keep head down, drawing more attention to himself.
LM was not forensically examined all over, another myth. Hair sample taken, finger nails and appearance noted. Gordo tried the nonsense with all sorts showing up from river water. And even IF, and that is a mighty IF, anything had been picked up, he was out and about in the woods, river with the boys for over an hour - Empty nonsense yet again.
Got to love the jogger/s nonsense - Passing LM standing at the wooden gate, rear view mirror and face clocked, then in front, in split seconds a jogger. Not according to the enablers. Swap wooden gate and standing from sitting on a stone wall, under shade to out in the open, and again they forget that book of clothing shown to witnesses, the nonsense that it could have been his bomber! But then see the jogger down from the entrance of the estate, no bridge - It really does beggar belief!
But they say he had walked up a little, not home, supposed to be at the entrance of the estate at both 5:32pm and 5:38pm. But still no bridge, no possibility with that sequence. Just making up the whole thing, fantasy and fallacy.
And as Mr Apples says, the further nonsense around the victim, almost instantly silenced, that was the evidence led, clear forensic evidence. Probably why they were rapidly silenced by the fiend, to stop anyone from hearing - Again trying to apply stupid at all times to the killer!
But fantasy and fallacy, the off the wall scenarios is what are abided by, rather than sense and reality.
