Jo Yeates's mum offers to do reconstruction

The BF arrived home and apparently did nothing while waiting for her for four hours until around midnight. Only then did he think of going through her bag which she had left on the table. Even then, whilst saying that he found all the stuff she would have needed to take with her, he still doesn't mention her mobile, only things like her purse and her keys. When friends say how close they were as a couple, I have a problem understanding how they could have had no contact for the whole of the time he was away and why, following his return and finding the cat obviously having been left alone for long enough to be going mad, he doesn't seem to have looked for her in the flat. If he had, he would surely have found her bag on the table with her things in it, her coat hanging up and her boots. And the mobile? It must have been in the flat as well? So, should alarm bells have started ringing straight away and not only after four hours? Just how credible is this story?

Hi T4two.

A good point I never thought about the mobile battery running out!.
I wonder if the Flat was locked on his arrival.
No contact over that time is strange, after all they were in what I call the Honeymoon part of a Relationship,yet Jo did not go with GR to his see Family.

Hi Alpine Aster.

It's all gone very quiet after an eventful couple of days in which the old friend, Mathew Wood, popped up and gave an interview about her texting him to ask him whether he fancied a drink and then the girlfriend appearing for the first time in the papers to assert that Jo did not have a secret lover and that the BF was wonderful and that Jo was besotted etc. There could be nothing in it of course, although I don't really understand why these two people both decided to make their information public at the same time. Things are seldom as straightforward as they appear to be at first sight or they seldom appear to be as straightforward as they actually are. Since we're getting no more information, there's not a lot to discuss before there are more developments, such as the reconstruction taking place or the police putting out more information. Just a thought which keeps re-occuring though - if you had lost touch with someone and hadn't seen them for about eighteen months; in fact were so out of touch that you didn't even know that they had moved away from the area - would you text them on your way home with the words, "Where are you? Fancy a drink?"

My thoughts too I'm afraid, especially as the bf she was 'besotted' with had just left on a trip tp Yorkshire.

The landlord allegedly seeing her leaving with 2 others also. Truth or fiction?

--------------------------


Instead, the investigation, believed to have cost an estimated £1m so far, is understood to be focusing its attention on testing people known to Miss Yeates, 25, whose body was found dumped beside a country lane on Christmas Day after she went missing on December 17.
This includes testing a large section of the 200 Facebook ‘friends’, a process which has already begun, as detectives become increasingly convinced that ­whoever strangled her was known to her.
Police have also confirmed that tests are not being carried out on Miss Yeates’s work colleagues unless they were also connected to her via the social networking site or had other contact such as emails or texts outside of work.

It does seem strange as the BF had only just gone away and that Jo and GR were supposed to be so close.
He could be just a friend I suppose the Man that Jo texted, I do believe he said that he found it strange she did not text back straight away as she alway's did,that was in the Media so I don't know if it is true, but if it is then they must have had contact in recent times, 18 Month's ago seems a long time.
He said he read the text that Jo sent at 9.20pm, Jo sent the text at 8.20pm, no reply from Jo, so this Man must have tried to contact Jo back then, either by text or tried to phone Jo after he opened the text from her at 9.20pm, so he knew Jo was on her own!!!!!.

Thanks Ann for the Link.

Home News Top Stories Jo Yeates murder: Stop shielding Joanna's killer, plead police
by Laurie Hanna, Daily Mirror 15/01/2011


Police fear Jo Yeates's killer is being shielded by a close friend or partner who is too scared to turn them in.

Officers appealed to anyone harbouring the murderer to come forward.

Her family's anguish is being made worse by not knowing who strangled the 25-year-old in Bristol.

A police source said: "The killer may have let slip something to a partner or friend. The worry is this person may be scared to raise the subject."


THEY will be gripped by fear, inner turmoil and even denial, knowing their partner or friend has killed Jo Yeates.

But police last night appealed to anyone who may be covering for the murderer to put the anguish aside and hand them over.

Detectives believe the killer may have let slip their terrible secret or be acting unusually after strangling 25-year-old architect Jo and dumping her body in the snow.

A police source said: “The ­pressure on the killer to keep this murder a secret is immense.

DENIAL

“He may have already let ­something slip to a partner or trusted friend and his behaviour may have changed.

“The worry is that anyone who may have noticed this may be in denial or that they could be scared to raise the subject because they don’t want to accept the killer is someone they know well.

“It is not that unusual to find people shielding killers.

“It is quite possible that the person who murdered Jo has been behaving oddly and that has not been passed on to the team.

“The killer may also have insisted they are innocent and begged for help in getting ­eliminated.

“Often close friends or relatives simply cannot believe this person could be guilty and agree to give them an alibi. Even a few minutes can make all the difference.”

Each day that goes by without finding Jo’s killer only deepens the agony of her distraught family, who are desperate for justice.

In the four weeks since she was strangled after returning to her flat in Bristol from drinks with work colleagues, police hunting the killer have received hundreds of calls.

But they believe the key to unlocking the mystery lies with a friend or relative who knows the murderer’s identity.

One detective told how killers can manipulate other people’s recollections of events to their advantage when friends or ­relatives have grown suspicious. The officer said: “They can be cunning and say, ‘Do you remember what time I got home...? No it was earlier’.”

Jo was found dumped in thick snow on Christmas Day in a quiet lane near a quarry three miles from the home she shared with boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27. He was away at the time. The last person to speak to her was best pal Rebecca Scott, 25. They chatted on the phone as Jo walked home from the pub.

The marine biology student pleaded: “You might have noticed a friend or family member acting suspiciously.

“Report that to the police. I’m sure if that was your friend lying there on Christmas Day you would want others to do the same.”

Officers were yesterday searching a second area near to where Jo’s body was dumped. They were seen combing ­undergrowth in Providence Lane.


It is thought they may have been stepping up their efforts to find a ski sock that was missing from Jo’s body when it was found.

STRANGE

Retired electrician Jeffrey Hurley, 80, lives in the lane. He said “It must be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“I find it strange the killer hid the body so close to the road. He could have hidden it in several disused quarries nearby and it wouldn’t have been found for years.”

Eighty officers are working around the clock on the case. Avon and Somerset Police said: “We are still appealing for information.”

But detectives believe Jo’s killer is still in Britain.

One said: “We have not made inquiries abroad.”

I wonder if they have someone in mind.

Krissy22: I wonder if they have someone in mind.

It's highly likely that they do and that there would be a problem basing a case on dna evidence alone without a confession or breaking an alibi. I've noticed how the police go on repeatedly about the family's anguish. In fact I noticed that the police only ever included the family in their condolences.

Reminds me of Gerry McCann....'no no Jane, I was standing on this side , don't you recall' and JT meekly agreed.

Not labelling GM as a murderer of course, just hinting at how people can manipulate others into covering for them.

It's a form of the willing suspension of disbelief - the friend or relative desperately want to believe what they are being told because the alternative just doesn't bear thinking about. It seems they have no need to dna test the male population of Bristol now, which tells me that they've matched the dna of the saliva found on her body.

ETA I think you're spot on about JT. Never did have her down as someone who would wittingly cover up a serious crime.

Well well - the DNA experts from the Rachel Nickell case have been brought in to examine another 'partial' DNA sample. The previous one was 'partial' enough to convict Robert Napper. Wonder how 'partial' these samples are compared to another infamous 'partial' sample?

UK & World News Dramatic new CCTV ­evidence which could ­provide a breakthrough image of Joanna Yeates’s murderer was last night being studied by detectives.
by Thomas Carlin, The People
Jan 16 2011

Jo Yeates
The footage was captured on the night she went missing by security cameras on a private house 100 yards from her home.

One set up on the side of the building faces out towards the top end of the road where Jo lived.

The other points across the common towards Bristol's Clifton Village and would cover the entrance to her road.

Crucially the two private cameras are on 24 hours a day. Police are studying the tapes and an insider said: This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

The cameras were fixed to the end-of-terrace Harley Lodge, the home of world-renowned maths professor Sir John Kingman. It stands on the corner of Clifton Down and Canynge Road, the street where Jo, 25, shared a flat with her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27.

It is believed they cover the route Jo took home. The CCTV could provide information about the time she arrived and reveal whether she was being followed.

Landscape architect Jo walked back after enjoying an evening with work colleagues at the Ram pub in Bristol city centre.

Yesterday Sir John, 71, a former vice-chancellor of the University of Bristol, confirmed he had handed CCTV tapes to the police.

He said: I have given everything I have, all the tapes I had, over to police from my CCTV. I cant comment on what was on them.

Asked whether he had looked through the footage and seen Jo or anyone else passing by on the evening of December 17, he said: No, I didn't look back through them. I gave them to police and its up to them what they do with it.

Two street lamps light the corner in the evening a large one on a traffic island a few paces from the house and a smaller light at the side of the house. Officers in the investigation, named Operation Braid, have decided not to show any of the tapes to the public. A spokesman said: We are unable to comment on this CCTV footage and there are no plans for its release.

It had been hoped the 32 cameras on Clifton Suspension Bridge would throw light on the killer or his car registration.

But the firm which operates the bridge said the images would be too dim as their quality became very poor at night.

The final CCTV shots of Jo shown to the public are of her {popping into a Waitrose store on her way home. Jo's body was found dumped on Christmas Day. She had been strangled. Police wont say if they believe she was killed in the flat or elsewhere. They have not revealed the results of DNA tests on a half-drunk bottle of cider found in the flat.

d.collins@people.co.uk


Lets hope that the images of the CCTV are clearer than the ones at the bridge. The person who took the life of this young woman needs to be found.

The police must have some idea because usually they are warning other young woman in the area but seem quite quiet in this case. IMO

.... popping into a Waitrose store on her way home.

Ermmm... excuse me, I thought she popped into Tesco and Bargain Booze. Didn't realize she'd also been to a Waitrose?

that's a very good point, here's the map of her movements with times. Did she get a phone call after the Waitrose non-purchase visit, so popped into Tesco and then Bargain Booze.

Yes.. that could well be the scenario Ann.
This guy with the private tape seems to be late coming forward with something so important... though I suppose he could have only just arrived home after the Xmas break.

Everything seems to have gone very quiet in the last few days ... Gut feeling says they will be arresting someone soon. Once again it seems a very strange case.

'

Yes it would be interesting to know the answer to that one docmac, although I believe it's more complicated to differentiate between partial samples of familial DNA..

I hope this DNA sample and the CCTV footage can help bring justice for Jo and her family.

Hmmmm the boyfriend probably wouldn't be happy about that text, maybe he popped back to the flat and found this out.

Home News Top Stories Jo Yeates's final journey filmed for Crimewatch
by Richard Smith and Andrew Gregory, Daily Mirror 17/01/2011


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.”

Advertisement - article continues below »

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 it is David Canter, he who said...............

The British girl, just three when she disappeared, could have a new identity and speak a different language, according to the top criminologist…

‘You could call out Madeleine to her and she wouldn’t respond. She doesn’t remember being that child,’ he said.

Professor Canter said Maddie could be anywhere in the world, speaking a different language and looking completely different to how we know her.

He suggests she may have tried to copy the genuine signs of distress displayed by the mother of missing child Madeleine McCann.

"She doesn't know quite what to do with it," he said of Matthews.

"It's totally different from the way Kate McCann carried the teddy everywhere with her as some sort of reassurance of her daughter."

Surely a police officer would have made sure that there was no chance of being caught on CCTV anywhere. How would a police officer know that the CCTV at the flat where JY's lived was iirc taped over every 4 days and also a police officer surely would be aware that something like this could be in operation in that area:

The footage was captured on the night she went missing by security cameras on a private house 100 yards from her home.

One set up on the side of the building faces out towards the top end of the road where Jo lived.

The other points across the common towards Bristol's Clifton Village and would cover the entrance to her road.

Crucially the two private cameras are on 24 hours a day. Police are studying the tapes and an insider said: This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

The problem for the media is that the police appear to have progressed beyond the high-profile stage of holding press conferences, appealing for information and mounting public displays of searching, which leaves them with nothing much to report. So they start to employ creative writing techniques, each one vying to outdo the other and hoping to land a scoop. Canter might just as well have said, "The killer could literally be anyone, and that person could literally be anywhere."

It would only be echoing his 'Madeleine could be anywhere' mantra.

The prospect of family or friends’ involvement beggars belief. For a start, if the child had been killed in some accident, possibly as a result of an overdose, then her medically trained parents would have had to be exceptionally incompetent, for which there is no evidence. Furthermore, the friends who were with them would all have had to be willing to risk their professional careers to keep such a appalling secret for such a long time.

???????????????

well, what have we all been saying for almost 4 years, in the words of John Stalker 'The Tapas 7 are hiding a big secret'
I agree T4two,
i.m.o. Canter is a 'talking head' wheeled out by the media to keep the story running whilst the police do their job

The boyfriend of murdered Jo Yeates has collected £3,000 in her memory – as scores of people lined up to donate cash to her legacy .

Devastated Greg Reardon, 27, set up an online page with the Missing People Charity on New Year's Day and has received donations from hundreds of people moved by the family's plight.

Mourners have left tributes to the 25-year-old landscape architect, found dead on Christmas Day, and donated sums to the charity – some leaving gifts of up to £200.

Among those who have pledged money include friends of Miss Yeates and her boyfriend Greg and people in Clifton.

Even fellow architects have logged onto the page to donate to the organisation which helped co-ordinate a search for Jo, after she went missing on December 17.

The Just Giving page has even touched the lives of those who never met her.

Clifton resident Alexander Chambers donated £40 and said: ''very, very sad indeed. I come from Bristol and know Clifton well. This has touched me deeply.''

One its homepage, set up by Greg, it describes her as a ''talented and kind hearted woman'' who was ''tragically murdered''.

It says: ''Her body was found on Christmas day in North Somerset after a fantastic missing persons campaign that spread like wildfire across the internet and through noble friends and locals spreading awareness across the Bristol area and beyond.

''A key contributor to that campaign was the Missing People Charity who helped spread the word of Joanna's disappearance and campaigned on the streets of Bristol to help find her.''
