The other occupants of Apt 5a before and after the McCanns visit.

But so what? The bloke she says she saw wasn't doing anything.

It's worthless to police.

NOT doing anything ?  Maybe nothing criminal, BUT ...

Standing leaning against 5A garden wall staring in .... and on another occasion so absorbed in staring that he didn't even notice Tasmin and two dogs walk past him ?  Not doing anything?

Come on Lyall, you are in danger of losing your credibility

Where is the proof clothes were brought back ?


This is an old story and sounds no more than desperation.

Isn't that what normally happens when a loved one dies?  It is also the case that clothing is often retained for a long time afterwards.   Sadie could very well be onto something here!

No

I am not creating a myth becois I make it quite clear that I cant be certain.  There are no lies in what I say.

It's a young girl doubtless desperate to help after a major incident. You really ought to understand the psychology of those situations - people's imaginations take over in many instances.

If you'd been around the location of a major incident yourself - as I have - you'd understand how trivial things that happened before the incident can be seen as significant after it. It's a combination of wish to help and overactive imagination.

Tasmins statement is the result of a clear mind, interest in a man watching her old home, and intellect.   

I probably understand more about people and psychology than you do, especially of 11 and 12 year olds.  Dont forget, I used to teach them

'From amarals book


There are signs of death in Apartment 5A. It's necessary to confirm that, prior to 3 May, no one had died there. The OC has no records of anything like that, nor the fire department, nor the paramedics, nor the prior apt owners knew of any death in the apt.'

The OC weren't very good were they?  Tasmin's granddad lived there and he died albeit in hospital.  It is very possible some of his belongings, contaminated with cadaverine, were brought back from the hospital and stored in apartment 5a.  I bet this has never been checked out!

If true in the first place, the person apparently died in hospital........in a hospital bed.
His clothing would probably not be the garments he died in.

[sadie]

Inform yourself about cadaverine and especially at what stage of decay it is produced.
Supposing you're concerned with the credibility of your site.

Dont forget that the dogs marked for other things as well

Anybody, especially an old man might have several bodily fluids on his clothes.  Only needs one speck

ETA  Including his pyjamas

Agreed unlikely to be street clothes.
Although pyjamas is possible?.

Tamsin's grandparent did not live in 5a, he lived in the apartment next door.  Late now and just home from south so will dig out the info tomorrow.

Precisely, the bloke wasn't doing anything ! Very suspicious !
