I blame Jessica Fletcher..

A small selection from the 'armchair detectives'

Does this appeal refer to anyone anywhere acting strangely or just within the Bristol area and nearby?

Their is no doubt in my mind that this was a carefully planned murder, carried out by two people who knew the victim well and may have had a key to the flat. The victim was most probably held from behind by one and strangled from the side by the second. The pizza box was taken as fingerprints would have placed the killers at the scene while their other fingerprints at the scene could be dismissed as being from previous visits. The body was moved to give the impression that a chance caller murdered the victim at the door or abducted her. This is why her killers left the coat and purse. One of the killers has access to a 4x4 vehicle, and with two people it could have been possible to travel for quite a long distance with changes of driver. The snowy weather and gritted roads caused the number plates of the vehicle used to move the body to become obscured, meaning the number pplate recognition cameraas on the bridge could not read them.

I think it was Winston Churchill who said "Never underestimate Amateurs !" said of TE Lawrence on reading the VII Pillars of Wisdom,the finest anthropological work of a people Ever in the British Language. If we are led to believe everyone is telling the truth so far,then this poor Girl (RIP) was murdered after 9 pm on the 17th and is concomitant with two witnesses,who independently heard the scream. So she did,nt recognize the assailant because of a hideous ski mask or other. The assailant had known all her movements and had most likely saw that she was alone and also what she bought (ie)goods for one.It is highly probable that (he) used a bike or other,enabling (him) to keep ahead.After the event " Who turned the lights off in the apartment ? and Why ? (He) then collected the body later (probably covered with a black bin liner)and taken to the quarry,by Car or Van. (He) may have murdered before because of the predatory Nature of (his) cold calculating agenda. (GDF)
