Yes. Positive. Suzanne told Peter Stein this, and was only a few yards away from the police substation (the door being inside the Phelps Gate archway) at the time. So she has not been seen actually handing in the keys, their is no note taken for the time of the hading in of the key, and the parking lot is not blocked directly after 9:30, or at least we don't know so. P.S. might be considered 'a source near to the investigations' himself, depends n the carefulness of wording by reporters, or not?

What you wrote about the time of publication of details on the victims' clothes and the second witness was well-researched, thanks. It may mean that actually more people came up with claims they had seen either Suzann in any place and at any times, who were all dismissed because they couldn't provide details on how she was dressed.

However, with the witness knowing Suzanne it might well be she had seen her at another time of the day in another place with the same clothes, and seen somebody else in the spot at the time she reported. The importance of the issue et al. can change our memory.

So it also works the other way round.

No sense stooping to their level (g). Sheer academic arrogance. I continue to be appalled, and doubt your motives even more. There is no grin here. MNI.

On a related note, I did ask him what TV show(s) he was watching
between 9 and 10pm. He said he was flipping the channels as he
often does and absolutely doesn't remember any of the shows he
saw then as he didn't stay too long on any channel. Speaking of
getting one's story straight, if he had planned the "perfect crime"
you'd have thought his #1 priority would be to establish an alibi.
Even if he had "forgotten" to plan an alibi beforehand, he still had
plenty of time to memorize a couple of shows he could claim to
have watched. The point is that's not what happened and that's that.


Now it is you who assume a perfect crime, and show it is unlikely. I didn't assume 'perfect crime', but quasi-spontaneous crime, which leads to passion (at least) afterwards. When Jim has spoken to the police long ago it surely has been noted whether or not he remebered certain programmes or not. Wouldn't it be dangerous to remember more after a year than after a week? Just as much as to present a totally new alibi ? Therefore your reasoning doesn't devalidate my objection to the interview's outcome.

However I agree that you were asked to make the interview, and therefore had to report its' results.
