Thanks, Richard

Paul Begg made a point about the Scots guards, which needs to be addressed, in order for that to be not applicable, we would have to not only ignore Barnett, but also Mrs McCarthy, and the oral history , about her parcelling up the victims belongings , and forwarding them to Henry[ Johnto] at his army barracks,

I agree, and we did not address Fiona Kendall Lane's' claims. What we are presented with are two supposed facts only known inside-the-family and it's up to us to choose which one is the more reliable (or dismiss them both). Wynne Weston Davies states flat out that his great-uncle John Davies was called 'Johnto' and was never in the Scots guards. They can't both be right.

And we wouldn't have to ignore Barnett, as he only related what he was told.

Why would a woman hiding from her ex husband, invite him back to her room, for at the very least heated discussions,?

If you are referring to how Craig found himself inside of her room on the night of the murder, according to this theory she did not invite him in willingly. She was tricked into letting him in.

One negative vibe , I picked up..was the accusation that a lot of venom appears on the message boards..
This may have been the case a few years back, but generally speaking, I find the boards very respectful, and any negative/[positive views on this book, have to be addressed, prior to reading it, but preferably after reading it, and I am sure it will be addressed in the coming days /weeks.

Although I missed the posts where "venom" was being directed towards Wynne, it was apparent enough that both Keith Skinner and Paul Begg, independent of one another, contacted him privately and suggest he withdraw for the time being (there may have been others who did this, I don't know), and bad enough for me to be told about it privately as well.

Thanks again for your feedback and I'm really glad you enjoyed the show.

Hi..Jonathan,
Listened to the Podcast, in its entirety last night.and found it very interesting, the author Wynne Weston - Davies, comes across as a very nice guy.
Like the panel, I found his theory fits a lot of what is known about Kelly's life, however, although even though I tried to take a positive attitude, to what was being suggested,I found it almost impossible to forget all the facts and oral history, we have known over the years.

We also have to address, the obvious.

Wynne dismissed Hutchinson as a hoaxer, and yet he is likely to have been, the most serious witness the police ever had, at least they initially believed that.

Enjoyed the Podcast all the same, and although I express doubts on the outcome of any exhumation, I may be wrong....[ I usually am.ha]
