Just watching the said programmes I have the following questions (due to things said in this programme)-:
It is said Sheila was too moody and unpredictable to be a successful model and was expelled from 2 schools before going to Lucy Clayton's modelling school-was she expelled from main stream school or modelling schools?
Jeremy was in court over other charges (not the family killings) but was out on bail and allowed to go to St Tropez when Julie went to the police and the police waited for Jeremy at the port and arrested him on his return-Was this for the burglary at the caravan park?
It was said that the CoE adoption society organised the adoption of both Sheila and Jeremy, was there not a social services dept back then and local authority checking? How long did the CoE run adoptions?
They mentioned the phone calls and said that if Neville had called Jeremy whilst being attacked then it would have rendered the phone line at WHF and to Jeremy's un-usable, so I'm thinking that Jeremy made up the phone call from his dad to his house but called the police from WHF twice-once as himself and once as Neville and then left the phone dangling at WHF before he went enabling the police to listen in (if indeed they did) before returning home.
The police said that even though it took them time to get to WHF, they arrived before Jeremy and the only reason Jeremy called them at all was to establish an alibi (one that he wasn't there) but I can't work that one out.
It was also said that Neville was shot once and fell to his knee's and Jeremy battered him with the rifle butt which is appalling and then he was shot further times and June managed to crawl to Sheila's room before being shot more time. How afraid must Mr and Mrs Bamber have been?
SC attended two boarding schools. I understand she left the first, based in Sussex, by mutual consent; Sheila was unhappy and the school felt she was not progressing as was expected. The second, based in Norfolk, she was expelled from but apparently it was on the last day of term when high pranks were the order of the day. There's no evidence her behaviour was ever anti-social or disruptive etc.
Successful models need self-confidence which SC lacked as evidenced by Dr F's wit stat along with wit stats of others. As previously discussed on Red and Blue there's no evidence that SC secured any paid assignments other than possibly the one in Tokyo. I say possibly as it may have been a case that the course at Lucy Clayton's, paid for by June, may have included one guaranteed assignment. When in Tokyo SC wrote to CC saying she was struggling to cope mentally and asked CC to arrange an appointment for her to see a psychiatrist on her return. Perhaps indicative of *PTSD (adoption) and *attachment disorder (failure to bond with primary caregivers) bought on by being in an alien environment with strangers.
I believe JB was on bail when he went to St Tropez in respect of the OCP burglary. JB was arrested and charged with the murders upon his return from South of France at Dover.
I believe adoptions were arranged via agencies and churches but I think they were overseen by social services. As far as I am aware the suitability of prospective adoptive parents was assessed by face-to-face interviews with the would be adopters and extended family members and various other checks carried out eg suitability of home environment etc. I am stunned that June was allowed to adopt JB given her admission to a psychiatric hospital due to her decision to adopt SC. I am not sure if medical history was checked. If June went private perhaps it was overlooked.
I think far too much emphasis is placed on the kitchen phone being found off the cradle. It proves absolutely nothing. It could well be a case that SC attempted to make a farewell call to someone. Or simply took the phone off the hook as she didn't want anyone phoning. FE's wit stat shows that the psychotic attack she experienced around Mar '85 was brought on by a telephone conversation going awry with a friend. Apparently some technological problem on the phone/line which SC interpreted as threatening. AE's wit stat states SC was a little guarded about a phone call she attempted to make from AE's home to her mother (adoptive or birth ?) SC had to abandon making the call as she was unable to recall the number (?) JB states he received a phone call from NB and was cut off. He tried to call back and was unable to get through. Perhaps the reason for this was that NB was on the phone to EP as per second log? Am I right in thinking that the next time the line was dialled was when EP tried to get through via an operator and a dog was heard barking? I am undecided about the so-called second log ie administrative error or two genuine calls one from JB and the other from NB? The logs certainly use different language and state different birth years for SC. There appears to be some genuine confusion over her year of birth as evidenced by her birth and death certificates.
NB was shot at least three times in the bedroom and once on the stairs before receiving at least 3 further shots in the kitchen. Had the kitchen shots not supervened the bedroom shots would have killed him. I don't believe he ever got into a struggle with anyone. June received all shots in the main bedroom where her body was found.
Adoptees - educationhttp://nancyverrier.com/miscelleneous-information/•Because of trauma many adoptees have difficulty in school due to problems with attention, distractibility, and stimulus discrimination

At least it keeps me out of trouble with the numpties on Blue ie no breaking the "truce"
