Fingerprints? Wot Fingerprints??

Here’s another one for the non disclosure files.

Did you know, tis a fact that the Bible is the most shop-lifted book in history? From bookstores, libraries, murder scenes – people just can’t help themselves when doing away with it. Never read it myself – not my cup of tea. But I’m sure it’s a belter.

And yes, I did say murder scenes. You see, beside the dead body of Sheila (where it was eventually found, rather than when it was first found), was a bible. Don’t believe me? Here’s a photo of it.

So there we go. There’s that one sorted.

Look a little closer now at this second photo – you can see from within the pages of the bible there is a handwritten note and a crocheted piece of material.

See that note?

Why is it, then, that no evidence whatsoever was called or heard at the trial of Jeremy Bamber in relation to a bloodied bible found by the body of one of his supposed victims?

Here’s another photo – it proves that a “positive result” was made of fingerprinting of the bible. Yet why is it that we do not know whose fingerprints they are?

We can exclude the fact that they could be Jeremy’s fingerprints. It’s a fair assessment to say that if a man’s bloodied fingerprints were found on a bible next to a dead body, and you’re planning to charge that very same man with that person’s murder, you’d probably include that in your evidence against him as it’d be pretty damning. So what’s going on??

But the bible was never, ever discussed. The note was never, ever discussed. Police knew about it because they fingerprinted it and got a positive result – so what happened next? Well, the note and the material seemingly vanished from the face of the earth to the point that many believing in Jeremy’s guilt deny that it even existed. Yes, that’d be it – we all imagined it.

It took years for some of the photos you see on this page to be released (Jeremy’s legal team had been told at one point that no photos had even been taken!) and until 2005 before the fact that the bible was fingerprinted to be even known. Why the 20-year wait if there was nothing to hide?

Not getting at all, remotely suspicious about this yet?

We’ll never get the answer we need because the fear is that the Bible, note and crocheted material were either returned to the relatives or destroyed as part of a mass cull of key evidence despite the fact that Police were ordered to not destroy said evidence.

The morals of this story? Don’t frame innocent men and don’t shop-lift the Bible.
