Interesting theory Clouseau (14.02 ost), but how do you account for the scream heard by two people outside? If Jo screamed when inside her flat, would they have heard her? But nobody inside the house heard a scream (or at least said that).

As for the theory of the killer wanting to 'spend some time' with Jo, do you think he kept her body for some time instead of dumping it that Friday night? If he'd dumped it that night, surely it would have been found long before Christmas Day.

Clouseau has the perpetrator's profile spot-on imo. The screams heard by peessed partygoers are not worthwhile evidence... a red herring.

Aceme put the profile up on Thursday.

Of course, if this has any credence then Plod put everyone away early doors by arresting the LL, clearing his flat looking for elusive DNA AND, most importantly, stressing that there was no increased risk to the general public which is police code for "we know who it is and are keeping a close eye on them".

So for the whole of the time the public were led to expect imminent charges the real perpetrator would be free to go about their normal business without the pressure of awkward questions and the general public's collective memory would be self erasing.... like the CCTV cameras!

I read in the Guardian website that they are lining up a spot on Crinewatch!

hes being groomed for the hannibal role when anthony hopkins retires

interesting what most on here including me thought that they new the culprit and were just waiting for the nod to charge him,only 2 people who didnt think this and give rather wierd statements whilst the LL was arrested were the girls father and boyfriend,saying rather strangely for me that they were confident eventualy the police would get the right man,as though they new it wasnt the LL or new who it was

what are you going on about?

I was referring to the link from Whippet.

It is a contrived photo!

The parents were obviously somewhere sunny.

Look at their complexions and the light on their foreheads.

Jo and her brother were, perhaps, not even together here.

All of the images have been edited to make one picture!

I'm sorry, but if you can't see that, there is no hope for any of us!

which picture?

i got it whippets link

used link to look for the photo but says sorry this has been deleted

Police obviously completely clueless, if this is what they are thinking of resorting to

Yet another non story from Fleey Street's finest that gets twisted by someone into the police thinking of DNA testing everyone.

Whilst the police might be clueless, in actual fact the "story" says "Kerry McCarthy, Labour MP for Bristol East, wants swabs to be taken from the entire male population - around 250,000 people."

OK so how do you actually go about doing that?

And are you certain that, even if matched to something it would result in a conviction?

What do you define as "the entire male population" of Bristol?

How do you define "Bristol"? Which areas constitute Bristol? For example, does Failand, where Joanna's body was found, fall into your definition of Bristol or is it actually in Somerset? If so, does the rest of Somerset fall into your definition of the entire male population of Bristol?

Have you defined the age range of males you want swabs for, and what are your criteria?

Are you including people who live outside Bristol and commute to work there? If not, why not?

Are you including people who may have travelled to Bristol recently? If so please define which dates are included and which are excluded.

Are you including people who may have travelled through Bristol but not stopped? If not are you looking for corroboration that they didn't stop?

What if they stopped at a service station on the M5? Should they be included because who is to know they didn't enter "Bristol", with or without stopping, at any stage of their journey?

Who is going to pay for the taking of these DNA swabs? and how long are you going to keep them?

How are you going to dispose of them, securely?

If you get no positive results from the male sample will you therefore continue to do the same for the female population?

Doesn't look faked to me, and I do photo manipulation for a job - what are you suggesting has been changed?

its crimes like these when people should tell the lilly liberals to do one and there should be steps taken to have a national dna database, imagine the reduction in overall crime if people thought their chances off getting caught had been greatly reduced

Guys... I was trying to make it easy for you without being patronising!

The whole picture is wrong and, believe me, this is my field!

Where did you ever see a shadow, like under the mothers arm, as a black outline?

I mentioned this, only, as I thought it would be the easiest thing to see.

If you can't see that then you will not see anything else!

It isn't really relevant, to the solving of this case, but just another example of the way we can be fooled by the press!

Anyway I am not here, to confront the CCDI, but just to offer hope that the perpetrator will be caught very soon.

If the CCDI can't solve it then nobody can!

Generally shadows are dark and are outside the object, as with the photo.

It's not in open space, it's on a cupboard/wall and it's neither black nor hard (aw yeah). Only about 70%K in my estimation and it's darkest although it varies in tone, again as you'd expect.

stop bloody posting !

everytime I come on chit chat I've at least 200 posts to read through [;)]

Maybe the airbrusher at the Sun should be called in for questioning. Is anything to do with the photo relevant?

Has anyone else noticed how Joanna Yeates looks like several different persons in her photos? Hmmm.
