    unusual

    Hello Velma.

    "Perhaps victims continuing to hold items in their hands is not as unusual as we perhaps think?"

    Not if:

    1. victim had something in hand before the assault

    2. hand clenched around item

    3. item did not get knocked out

    Cheers.

      astute

      Hello CD.

      "My conclusion is that she did not have the cachous in her hand when thrown to the ground."

      Astute observation.

      Cheers.

        on the money

        Hello Jon.

        "I think the cachous belonged to Stride, these 'sweets' (to sweeten the breath?) are typically a female thing. But, she was killed by someone before she had time to take one."

        On the money as usual.

        Cheers.

          take note

          Hello CD.

          "I think she had them in her pocket. Although it is possible, I just can't see why she would have them in her sleeve. It's not like they were a knife and she wanted to have immediate access to them. Why risk having them fall out of her sleeve when it would be a simple matter to simply reach in her pocket to get them out?"

          Agreed again.

          (Note to self--how long can we go in this obviously correct direction and still miss the answer?)

          Cheers.

            warm

            Hello CD.

            "I also can't see a client giving them to her as a sort of present. Why give a gift to somebody that you are paying for sex?"

            Right again. And we are getting warmer still.

            Cheers.

              But isn't that just what we do?

                warmer yet

                Hello Velma.

                "Either that or the B.S. Man encounter never happened at all."

                Hmmmm. I like it.

                Cheers.

                  How about just giving us the answer, let us all go "Ahhhh, of course" ?

                    colder

                    Hello (again) Velma.

                    "There's a thread running through these murders of the victims all having something new, or fairly new, which could indicate little gifts.

                    Perhaps it would be the killer's way of playing a cat and mouse game with his victims, savoring what was to come . . . setting them up to trust him."

                    Oops, getting colder.

                    What did Annie have that was new?

                    Cheers.

                      warmer

                      Hello Tom.

                      "I don't see why it's such a crazy idea that a woman who owned silk and a nice wardrobe shouldn't also own a packet of cachous."

                      Not from where I sit.

                      We're getting warm again.

                      Cheers.

                        In for a penny . . .

                        Hello CD.

                        "They cost only a few pennies did they not?"

                        They did indeed. And we KNOW Liz had a few pennies early evening.

                        Cheers.

                          fiery

                          Hello Tom.

                          "Stride was not in desperate need of any of these things, so it doesn't surprise me that she should have possessed cachous."

                          Hallelujah! No, she was NOT in desperate need.

                          Careful, we're about to catch fire. (heh-heh)

                          Cheers.

                            making a splash

                            Hello CD.

                            "And if she were trying to attract men, they would be an investment which hopefully could result in money for a bed, alcohol or food."

                            Ah, cold splash of water.

                            Cheers.

                              little things

                              Hello Michael. Ah, but it's the little things that crack the case.

                              Cheers.
