JO Yeates murder cops today searched an old rifle range at a college close to the flat of the murdered architect.
The uniformed police officers checked the range on the grounds of Clifton College — next door to Jo's home. The 25-year-old's landlord Christopher Jefferies, 65 — who was arrested and bailed on suspicion of Jo's murder — taught at the school. Earlier today police were seen searching drains in the streets surrounding Jo's flat. |

I have only put forward yet another theory because at the moment no one theory fits the whole case. I accept as bystanders we can only hope to make a best guess as to an interpretation of the evidence that has been fed to us by the police.

dont read this- written by LL's alleged favorite poet-'Requiescat'

Nobody knows what could be the key thing – that vital bit of evidence that may solve the case.
There are very few murders that remain unsolved in this country. |

if you look at her property its not exactly isolated in that its in a building with a number of other flats. I would say its not the place where someone would think they could typically get away with carrying out a murder.
If someone followed her home I would have expected them to be put off by the location and the fact there are other residents in the building |
|
By:
Agreed, which would make her surprising a thief/pervert more likely?
|
|
By:
Agreed Thierry . Looks like you would have to know the place well to feel comfortable to commit any crime or your invited inside.
|
|
By:
Yes, and a stranger to the house would surely have left the body there. Far too risky, and pointless, to remove it.
|
|
By:
I agree .The place is quite uninviting for a burglar . Long before he gets to a point of entry he would be in a position where anyone that sees him will be wondering what he is doing.
I think the scream someone claims to have heard from some distance away is doubtful as evidence, as the residents of the flat itself seem not to have heard it. |
|
By:
Discussed before Spark . A thief would not remove the body if he killed her.

Can we have betting on how long before this thread gets removed please? TYIA
|
|
By:
He might epicurean, if wanting to hide potential DNA etc, but I accept it is unlikely..although removing the body seems an odd things to do whoever the killer was.

they walked her out
|

/he
|
|
By:
..in the snow without footwear?
|
|
By:
And no coat? She would have screamed or run off. Far too risky.
|
|
By:
killed her in the flat then
|
|
By:
I still don't like thye look of the LL whatever the outcome of this case
|
|
By:
It certainly is the most fascinating puzzle.
|
|
By:
Police are satisfied she was killed in the flat, seems obvious i guess.

OK my 2p
this was asked somewhere before, but for me a key question (asked on here before I think) is whether the lights were left on in the flat or not. Has this been ascertained? An opportunist at the door would not bother to turn them off before making a getaway right? Shirley if lights on all night and saturday, landlord would have noticed and mentioned it. If she popped to someone's flat to eat pizza in same building she's unlikely to not have taken keys. Also unlikely to turn all lights off. Does this suggest that the lights were turned off overnight friday and if so by who and what does this tell us? hmmmmmmmm |

By:
btw ek happy to lay 6 fifties the neighbour.
|
|
By:
Yes, in the flat. Strangulation would leave no signs, eg blood.
What about the motive? And what about possible links to the 1974 murder of a young woman in the same area? |
|
By:
would be obvious to Plod if she had walked outside in the snow in the socks/sock.
the fibres of the material on the underneath of the foot would be compressed and contain elements of dirt from pathways/dirt/ snow etc. If Joanna had merely walked around the flat in her socks there would not be the same residue.... just dry compression. The fact that Joanna's body was covered in snow would only make the sock wet and NOT compressed with dirt underneath. Try it yourselves.... walk outside on a snowy/wet pathway in your stockinged feet and compare the socks with similar that you just soak in water and/or walk around your house in. |
|
By:
has it been mentioned how drunk she would have been, from the pub etc?
|
|
By:
Yes GT,think that was a major factor.
|
|
By:
How drunk was she?
|
|
By:
Looked okay as she walked into the off sales.
|
|
By:
She was in the pub approx 2 hours so probably not that drunk.
Over to you GVL  |
|
By:
maybe he saw how tipsy she was...and as Nirv said the 1974 one..
|
|
By:
This was the 1974 murder:
http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/8767945.Joanna_Yeates_murder_brings_1974_killer_hunt_into_spotlight/ Possibly the same person, who gets a sexual thrill out of strangling women? Would explain a motive. |
|
By:
Probably not a drinker Spark so those she had earlier combined with fresh air and some cider when she reached her flat could have had an effect.
|
|
By:
Police are satisfied she was killed in the flat, seems obvious i guess.
Yes - there have been no appeals for sightings of Jo after she apparently got home. Police seem to know she was killed in the flat - even if they're not saying for certain. |
|
By:
But there's nothing to suggest she was drunk? Nothing from the people she spoke on the phone too, her colleagues at work, or those who served her in the shops?
|
|
By:
she must have been buzzing a bit from the alcohol she had already consumed on an empty stomach
|
|
By:
Spark not blind drunk but would have failed a breathalyser .
|
|
By:
maybe not drunk sparky...but defo tipsy imo...
