Pamela Fenn, two questions:

[ferryman]

1.  Why was she interviewed so late?

2. Why was she interviewed only the once?

[Carana]

1.  Why was she interviewed so late?

2. Why was she interviewed only the once?

Good questions.

The sound of silence is somewhat deafening so far.

[registrar]

Valid questions

to 1) no idea - her being in the closest proximity to 5a and being an independent witness should have made her the first one to be interviewed

to 2) I can only guess - I remember the short video of her being really upset by the media pack hounding her for answers - perchance the PJ thought - any stress for an ageing person should be kept to the bare minimum?

ETA: here's the vid from about 0117

[ferryman]

Right at the end of the rogatory interview of Carol Tramner, Mrs Fenn's niece, we have this:

DC1485'Do you know if your aunt knew of anyone staying as a guest, or mentioned that someone was staying there'

CT'She probably knew, but she does not talk much about this.

DC1485'Yes.

CT'So this'humm.

DC1485'Yes.

CT'She knows some people from the Resident's Association but I cannot guarantee that she knew who was staying there. She is pretty reserved or at least tries to be, but she does know the majority of the members of the Resident's Association and when there is a meeting'for this reason perhaps she knew that an apartment would be occupied. Remembering this after so much time has passed'

DC1485'Yes.

CT'She is very astute, you know.

DC1485'Very good. Is there anything else you would like to add'

CT'No.

DC1485'She was given the opportunity to clarify. Right, it is 11h10. This interview has ended/


Disinclined to talk (even to relatives) and mentally astute ...

And there has to have been some reason for that question being put to Carol Tramner ...

Mrs. Fenn appears not to have been a 'blabbermouth'

If you suggest Ferryman, that the lady knew much more than she let on. - I'd agree with that.

Let's face it - at her stage of life she probably just wanted peace and quiet - one day she picks out veg at her local market and has a quiet glass of wine on her balcony - next day all hell breaks lose.

But that's just speculation - the lady is no longer with us - whether she passed on additional info. to say Carol on the QT before she passed away, is anyone's guess 

[Carana]

Who were the members of the "Residents' Association"? Independent owners within Block 5? Other owners within PdL?

Long-term tenants?

CT was being asked, not about 5a, but a different apartment, having said that, her relaying of which flat she saw the blonde man come out of is as clear as very muddy mud.

I'd agree that CT's testimony isn't limpid - but then she was only visiting her aunt and had no reason to be suspicious of anything.

But that still doesn't answer the OP's two questions concerning Mrs. Fenn.

[Redblossom]

Well carana, they are pointless questions because no one knows the answers

[AnneGuedes]

Yes, questions without answer are no questions.
But does somebody know how the couple above Mrs Fenn happened to be interviewed ? Was it spontaneously ? Where they invited to state when the police knocked all doors of all buildings around ?

[Carana]

Well carana, they are pointless questions because no one knows the answers

I would agree that no one here, in theory, has the answers. However, I find the questions valid.

It was the PJ's job to check into this...

[Carana]

Good question. Offhand, I don't recall an official statement.

[registrar]

Why are you trying to disrupt thread after thread tonight Redblossom?

If you don't like the content of the thread - scroll right by.

Your pointless questions might be other folks' - relevant questions

(or have you become Admin over night and no one told us?)

[Redblossom]

Ive only ever seen a media report about them and it was the mccanna friends apparently who knocked on the door

Scroll down to where the title  is we were woken at half past eleven at night

BTW they lived above Mrs Fenn, which puts Carole Tramners statement that she had the top flat a bit out of it

[ferryman]

Long-term tenants?

The thought that occurred to me is that the question might have been an attempt to tease out a reference to Mrs Fenn's friend Ms Glynn, as far as I'm aware, not referred to anywhere other than in Mrs Fenn's statement.
