agreement
Hello Trevor. I tried hard to find a disagreement in our thinking here, but have failed. I think you sum up matters admirably.
But, lest one give credit where NOT due, permit me to say that having MJK alive, discover the body, cry "Oh, murder!" is hardly original with me. That said, your observation about the subsequent time lapse completely disposes (in my mind) of the possibility of Maxwell's sighting time being accurate. Indeed, I have interjected just about every bizarre/unlikely scenario known to the (devious) mind here--but nothing fits.
I must conclude, therefore, that Mrs. Maxwell was off by a day.
Nor should this be, I think, considered strange--as also Hutch, if he were off by a day. As Fish points out, some people have a great recall of fine detail but will forget something really broad like the day of the week. This happens to me much more frequently than I care to admit. But I suppose that such a phenomenon as this is alien to a good many posters. Hence the resistance to Fish's thesis vis-a-vis Hutch.
Thanks for a well thought out post.
Cheers.
