JOANNA Yeates' killer could have gone in and out of her flat without ever being seen, official documents confirmed today.
Neighbours would not necessarily have seen anyone entering or leaving the flat, plans of her Bristol property studied by detectives have revealed. The only way into the apartment is through a private door down a side path. Jo disappeared a month ago and cops are still trying to establish why and how her body was dumped in a country lane three miles away. They know she returned home the night of her disappearance — her coat, boots, mobile phone and keys were found in the flat. But there was no trace of a Tesco pizza the landscape architect had bought on her way back there on December 17 after leaving friends in the Ram pub. Her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27, who had been away for the weekend visiting family in Sheffield, raised the alarm when he returned to their flat two days later and found Jo missing. Strangled Jo's snow-covered body was found on Christmas morning by a couple walking their dogs in Longwood Lane in Failand, North Somerset. Jo, 25, lived with her boyfriend in the sunken ground-floor apartment in a large converted Victorian house in Canynge Road, Clifton. A floor plan recovered from Land Registry files confirms the flat is self-contained. It has three main rooms off the entrance hall and the living room looks out on to the front lawn. The single bedroom at the rear has a view of the back garden and the small kitchen — where Jo may have cooked the pizza — opens on to the living room and has a window looking out on the path running along the right side of the house. A door linking Jo's bedroom with a bedroom in the neighbouring flat was filled in when the house was converted. Jo and her boyfriend rented the flat from retired teacher Chris Jefferies, 65. He was previously arrested on suspicion of Jo's murder before being released on bail. |

JO Yeates’ haunting final journey is to be staged in a Crimewatch TV reconstruction this week in a new push to catch her killer.
Police are using the same group of shopworkers who served the 25-year-old landscape architect as she walked home before she disappeared. Jo’s mum Theresa, 58, offered to play her daughter – but it is understood a young actress or police woman who looks like Jo will be used instead. It is hoped the BBC1 show – to be aired at 9pm on Wednesday, January 26 – will trigger a much-needed breakthrough in the murder hunt. A police source said: “Huge numbers of people will be watching.” The BBC added: “The aim is to be realistic and jog someone’s memory.” The reconstruction, to be filmed on Thursday, will show the lookalike Jo leave the Ram pub at 8pm before stopping off at a Waitrose, Tesco and Bargain Booze, now called Baryah’s. Jo’s final few steps home to her flat in Clifton, Bristol, will then be recreated. It is where the killer is feared to have struck on December 17. The film will also show the roadside verge three miles away where her body was found on Christmas Day. Yesterday top criminal profiler Professor David Canter suggested the killer may be a police officer. Prof Canter, whose crime-busting skills inspired TV’s Cracker, said: “It implies they’ve got some sort of experience with the investigative process.” |

Well, the confirmation of a Crimewatch reconstruction puts to bed the theory the old bill have been playing a waiting game - knowing who there main suspect is and waiting for them to trip themselves up.
This just goes to show that the non release of key info to the public such as the missing sock is a total shambles. Incompetent police = no surprise. |

Incompetent police = no surprise.
Almost as bad as the Betfair Defective Detective Agency, who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. |

Incompetent police = no surprise.
Standard procedure in cases like this to have a complete review after a month, surprised the police are not doing this, and why not, could suggest they are making some progress behind the scenes, but tend to agree with 'Ace' Crimewatch reconstruction puts to bed the theory the old bill have been playing a waiting game. Investigation seems to be going nowhere. And why no review, time to bring in an old head and a fresh pair of eyes. |

The Crimewatch thing could be designed to make a suspect sh*t themselves into confessing or something ?

And the Crimewatch reconstruction was first mentioned in the press quite a while back as Jo's mother spoke of possibly being involved in it.

Murdered Jo's flat 'has own door'
London Evening Standard 17/1/11 Joanna Yeates's killer could have entered and left her flat without being seen by any of her neighbours, official documents reveal. The only way into the murdered landscape architect's apartment in Bristol is through a private front door down a side path. Detectives have established that Miss Yeates returned home on the night she disappeared exactly a month ago, but they are still investigating how her body came to be dumped in a country lane three miles away. Her coat, boots, mobile phone and keys were found in the flat, but no trace has been found of a Tesco pizza she bought on her way home. Miss Yeates, 25, lived with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon, 27, in a sunken ground-floor apartment in a large converted Victorian house at 44 Canynge Road, Clifton. A floorplan obtained from the Land Registry shows the young couple's flat is self-contained, with its own front door on the right of the building, and has a simple layout with three main rooms off the entrance hall. The living room looks out on the front lawn and the single bedroom at the rear has a view of the house's back garden. The small kitchen - where Miss Yeates may have cooked the pizza - opens on to the living room and has a window looking out on the path running along the right side of the house. There is a communal entrance at the front of 44 Canynge Road for most of the other flats, but a second ground-floor apartment also has its own front door at the rear of the property. Miss Yeates and Mr Reardon rented the flat from Chris Jefferies, 65, a retired English teacher at nearby Clifton College, who was arrested on suspicion of the murder before being released on bail. Plans of the house were submitted to Bristol City Council for planning permission when it was split into flats in the late 1980s, and Avon and Somerset Police murder detectives have obtained a copy of the documents as part of their investigation. Miss Yeates went missing on the night of December 17 after leaving friends in the Ram pub in Park Street, Bristol. Her body was found on Christmas morning by a couple walking their dogs in Longwood Lane in Failand, North Somerset. |

Texting another bloke for a drink and getting the ciders in and a pizza as soon as bf is out of earshot is a bit dodgy though, isn't it? I bet she was bricking herself that f-buddy would turn up before Wurzel got the jump leads working.

Good idea. Someone get the case files out and go over everything from the start.  |

The parents have now called in ChitChat detective agency to help
Reading a statement at the Thistle Hotel in Bristol, they said: "Nearly the whole country has been moved by the tragic events surrounding Jo's murder. Many of us are 'armchair detectives', but if this activity triggers anything please come forward." |

Do you have a source for this? |

By:
there is an average of 55 murders a month in the UK, so he can't be that far off. But most of them are solved very quickly.

Although it seems to be generally believed that she was killed shortly after arriving back at her flat on Friday, there is no evidence in the public domain to rule out her being killed on Sunday, after he returned. |
|
By:
The media said something about his petrol receipts and the time stamps giving him an alibi.
|
|
By:
But, as she texted a bit of trouser to come over AND bought him a cider and a pizza to share, she'd likely be in a spot of bother if he caught her somehow.

I'm taking this as a direct appeal to chit chat to help. Perhaps the police could hand over their files. |

The media said something about his petrol receipts and the time stamps giving him an alibi. Rubbish alibi if his face is not actually seen on a cctv camera. |

It could be the police already have a firm suspect,
but just need more information to plug the gaps, or make the facts add up. And that appeal statement by the parents, "Jo was probably killed by someone acquainted with her." The police would have a lot to do with the wording of that statement. |
