We're back in the car again.
There were three people in a Morris Minor car for nigh on six hours. The only account of those six hours comes from Valerie Storie or if you choose to believe him a second version from Peter Alphon.
If you read Valerie’s statements and court accounts of those six hours it barely amounts to much more than a few minutes. Peter Alphon’s account gives a few more details of what may have happened.
But just what did take place in the car.
We know it arrived at Deadman’s Hill and shortly after Gregston was murdered and then after about twenty minutes or so Valerie was raped, shot and left for dead. Well that’s the last half an hour accounted for but what about the previous five and a half hours. What was going on?
I go to the football and to make sure I get my favourite parking place I arrive about an hour and a half before kick off. I park within spitting distance of the ground. Now I don’t drive a Morris Minor; I have a large comfortable car but I can tell you after an hour and a half I’m pretty fed up with just sitting. What could it have been like on that night?
What do you talk about? Did Valerie and Mike talk to each other while the gunman listened in? The couple and the gunman appear to be complete opposites. Did the gunman make them do certain things as stated by Alphon but which could hardly be substantiated by Valerie?
What could they have talked about? If it was a simple case of ambush to grab some money and the car why not do that in the first five minutes?
If a sexual motive was involved why not get that over with in the first five minutes. He was going to put Mike in the boot. Why didn’t he?
Why would he be concerned if Valerie told him the exhaust was leaking and it might poison Mike? Why would he care? Why not get it over with as soon as possible and have longer through the night to get away. More time to hide the car, dump the gun and get away.
Did not one of them in six hours after spending time drinking in a pub want to go to the toilet?
How did a gunman manage to sit for six hours in a tiny car, shoot the driver twice, rape the woman and yet leave absolutely no trace of himself?
Tony.
