What does it show?
It shows the first print I outlined facing West.
The second facing North and third facing North.
More importantly does it it show which print over-imprints which? This is important because it shows who was possibly there first and last?
I am assuming these prints were found around the outskirts of the vehicle (tight area) between vehicle and bushes on either side.
The footprint facing West is clearly a Caterpillar or workmans style boot - evidenced by the clear distinction (arched) line between the heel and sole. Which - judging by the drivers footwear - could well be his.
What was the farmer wearing on his feet and his associate who found the men dead in the Range Rover.
A big right-footed print could indicate driver got out at some point? It appears to over impression the other prints. I see no evidence of return prints (this does not mean there weren't any). So, it may have been somebody took the bag from the boot and keys were passed back via boot if needing unlocking and left the scene. If the occupants of RR were armed or had drugs, they may have needed somebody to take them in case the police turned up.
It could be the three were hiding in the lane because of an act of violence in a Pizza shop commited by one of them who was allegedly out on licence.
Essex Boys Murder Case - *A New Theory* on the YouTube account: From Crime Scene To Court Room is the video where you can see these images.
Photographs at the crime scene were allegedly taken hours after discovery - which do not help in terms of trying to ascertain prints or evidence adequately. Those prints in the mud could be nothing to do with the crime scene at all. Original prints could have melted with the snow.
Did they present the footwear in court of the identified and verified prints? Why not?
Maybe crisps were bought for one of them and given through back door.
"I'm starving - he fucked up the Pizza meal, buy me some crisps from the pub?"
I dunno. I'm just making suppositions.
If the farmer drove that trek frequently, he would have to get out to unlock the gate. Therefore his prints could be evidenced in many places. If they arent - it could mean he didn't frequent that lane that often.
Pheasants can go several days without food - snowy conditions make it difficult for birds who really on seed feed as snow can bury it . He could have checked on them the previous day when snowfall occurred? As for the cold - they survived an Ice-age.
If the farmer wanted to feed his birds that badly that morning after snowfall to protect his lively income - maybe nothing would stand in his way.
Place your bets!
Pheasant shooting season runs from October to Feb. Don't forget it was near Christmas so Christmas dinner was on the menu. This would mean the farmer could have been armed with a shotgun.
