Jeremy also said he phoned Julie after phoning the police. Which would have added on more minutes. I understand the phone was in the hallway and it would have taken time to answer. People are usually asleep at 3.48am.
So if his calls to the police and Julie took him past 3.48am, how did he arrive at WHF by 3.48am ? Anyway Julie and her flatmates suggested the call was at 3am. Ten minutes before Neville's 'mysterious' call to Jeremy.
And what the heck was Jeremy doing between 3.10am - 3.36am.
The 3.26am call to Chelmsford police was from Neville, according to the official site. Not sure why Neville would also call a police station miles away, rather than Witham, relatives, or the Foakes's. He already knew Jeremy was speeding over. The policeman who took Jeremy's call did not mention Neville's call, preferring to take time taking down the exact same details Neville had given them.
I have been a member of Blue/Red for nearly 3 years. Prior to this I read the Blue forum for a year as a guest. I have seen all sorts of weird and wonderful posts re the phone calls/timing incl a debate as to whether JB had a pee and if so did he drip dry, use loo roll or shake dry and how long each would take. No I'm not going there. All I have to say is that in the absence of digital/satellite technology it's hopelessly unreliable and absolutely impossible to prove whether the call from NB to JB was made or not.
I doubt very much that NB called EP.
It is possible that JB called JM prior to calling EP. In her WS of 8th Aug she said she was better able to communicate with SC and JB could be awkward not knowing what to say/do when SC made "odd" statements. Perhaps not surprising given that JM was training to be a teacher ie she should have been the better communicator. He may well have called JM asking her opinion of what he should do and then felt a bit embarrassed admitting to EP (rough old middle aged cops ie he didn't want to look like a public school boy tw*t)that he deferred to his girlfriend.
http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=282.0;attach=1010There's evidence that NB had a low opinion of the local police and that family privacy was paramount to the Bambers. All potentially reasons why NB would try to avoid calling the police and seek out support from immediate family ie JB. NB would not call the relatives as they knew nothing about the severity of SC's mental illness and NB would want to keep it that way. For this reason NB was even less likely to contact the Foakes. By the time shots were fired and these concerns needed setting aside as the situation had quickly escalated to critical it was sadly too late.
1. NB had a low opinion of the police as stated in RB's WS"he (NB) commented that if they were like the police at Witham they were no more good than Dad's Army":

The Bambers were private people as stated in CC's book:"One of the most striking things about that day, although not altogether surprising for me, was the fact that, the more I talked to June and Nevill's relations, the more I realised none of them actually knew anything had been seriously wrong with Bambs - not even June's sister Pam. Many of them said that had they known, they would have been more than willing to help and share the burden. Why hadn't I contacted them and told them all about it? I couldn't believe what I was hearing and could only reply by saying that I didn't feel it had been my business to betray the Bamber's confidence. They were very private people whose decisions I had to respect - whether right or wrong. These people had no idea how much I'd need them as allies to convince June and Nevill of how strongly I felt Bamb's treatment should have been changed".
