hi at 6pm on the evening of the murders rolfe gave his girlfreind 60 pounds to buy a dress to wear later that evening as he dropped her off he told her he and the boys were going to meet mickey steel to look at a landing site for a light plane to drop drugs.its in her police statement
The murders involved a large scale police operation (including CENTURY) surely the police would interview extensively those close to the murdered trio ie Rolfe's partner, Donna Jaggers. If Rolfe's partner was aware he was going to meet Steele then surely this info would have been imparted to police at an early stage and Steele taken in for questioning? Afaik Steele/Whomes were not even interviewed until months later?
According to Donna Jaggers WS dated around March 96 Rolfe gave her some money to purchase something new to wear for the night out in Romford with Tate/Tucker and their respective girlfriends. Rolfe told her to be ready to go out by 7.00pm and he would collect her. Collect her from where Lakeside or their home in Chafford Hundred which is a short distance from Lakeside. This imo is very suspicious. The logistics need explaining:
- Travel time to and from these places: Rolfe/Lakeside toTucker/Fobbing to Tate/Basildon to Rettendon for recce - collecting girlfriends - final destination the table booked at restaurant in Romford at 8pm. It can't be done in 2 hours ie Rolfe on CCTV at Lakeside at 6pm and Romford at 8pm.
- If the evening was such it demanded new attire for Donna Jagger why would the guys turn up in scruffy old jeans, tshirts, bomber jackets and dirty Cat boots in an era where this wasn't considered fashionable attire for a night out? Numerous photos of Tate show him socialising in smart clothes. And if they were going to change this would just add further time which they didn't have.
