Who Killed Holly & Jessica?

Author | 19.09.2002 13:34

Murder Most Foul & Trial by Media

It is far too premature to pass judgements on the Soham murder inquiry, but that is exactly what the gutter press, with it’s insatiable craving for the macabre did, by leading the public through a gamut of emotions, from sorrow to rage, over the cruel murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, reporting every heart-wrenching nuance of the case, including an uncomfortable minutes silence at sporting venues and supermarkets. Now the tabloids are blaming the same baying mob they created for, “not only running amok, but running the courts as well.”

This media circus served as a distraction, taking the focus away from the lax police investigation, which supposedly was unable to positively identify the victims, although they had only been deceased for two weeks, or ascertain the cause and place of death. Yet, the bodies were hastily released by the Coroner to the bereaved families for burial and a ‘National Celebration’ of their very recently lost lives, in an effort to allow the two thousand people who got tickets to attend Ely Cathedral, “to (quickly) move on.”

Therefore, we must assume that Criminologists completed all the necessary DNA tests which will make it simple for forensic scientists to solve this matter, decisively, but the investigation appears to have ground to a standstill since garments worn by Holly and Jessica were allegedly found, with no indication as to where or by whom and if it implicated the suspects.

There could be other potential suspects if this case was broadened... A poignant poem was read at the memorial service by Detective Constable Brian Stevens, the family liaison officer who provided personal support to Jessica Chapman's family throughout the ordeal, although he was on a list of child porn suspects provided by the FBI's Operation Candyman, before the girls went missing. Stevens has since been arrested and charged with three counts of Internet child pornography offences, along with fellow Cambridgeshire police officer Antony Goodridge who was the exhibits officer in the man-hunt called ‘Operation Fincham.’ The ‘exhibits’ are now under an independent investigation by Sussex Police

Both have been bailed until their court hearing on Nov 11th and the Police Complaints Authority has stressed there was no evidence of a link between the charges against the officers and the double murder in August, but how could these officers be considered competent in their professional roles, if they harboured unhealthy and unnatural inclinations towards children? Still, they should have the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, they could be getting framed and sequestered because they “know something.”

We have not heard any evidence against the suspect Ian Huntley either, the first guinea-pig to which the stringent new Mental Health Act amendments have applied, enabling psychiatrists to forcibly medicate and detain him for months, while his behaviour is assessed, although he has not been convicted of any crime or certified insane. Dr. Harris, Forensic Services Director of Rampton Hospital, founded as an asylum in 1912 under the Criminal Lunatics Act of 1860, said this "is not unheard of, but it is very unusual." Huntley was perfectly capable of articulating coherent replies to reporters questions before his arrest, but afterwards, according to police was reduced to a gibbering wreck, unfit to answer questions or appear in court.

His girlfriend, Maxine Carr was made an object of hate and held in the harsh Holloway Prison for women, also built in the 19th Century, with it’s regime of bullying, sexual harassment and intimidation, which caused the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Sir David Ramsbotham, to walk out in disgust on his first visit. Accused of perjury, it has not been established whether Carr was complicit in this double murder, but the media stirred up a resurgence in the desire for reinstating the death penalty by comparing her to notorious Myra Hindley. The “democratic (mind-controlled) majority” supported this barbaric proposal, right on cue. Although I feel a certain empathy for the murdered girls and the child victims of Hindley and Brady, I would not be compelled to make a grisly pilgrimage to Saddleworth Moor to express it, as the ghoulish tourists did in Soham, unless it affected me personally.

Jeffrey Archer received a four year sentence for perjury and fraud which he is now serving in a theatre, less than a year into his term; Maxine Carr faces life in prison for the same crime, although her lie was not even pertaining to the disappearance of the girls. Both of the accused in Soham passed police background tests to take up their new jobs – Huntley as college caretaker and Carr as an assistant teacher at Holly and Jessica's school. She failed to get a full-time, permanent position because of concerns about her abilities, not her personality or background. Now the vetting system is a shambles and the new school year began in chaos, as a direct result of this case.

Neither Huntley or Carr had done anything to arouse suspicion but the police investigation continued with checks being made at their parents and grandparent’s homes and plans are afoot to demolish Huntley’s house and replace it with a shrine for the girls, before his guilt or innocence is proven. One gets the impression they were speedily set-up to take the rap, to protect others, simply because the caretaker was the last person known to have spoken to the girls.

The American Air Force Base at Lakenheath, where the decomposed bodies were eventually found dumped, seems to have been completely overlooked by the same forensic detectives who examined badger sets with a fine-tooth comb, despite the fact that it’s perimeter fence is the scene of the crime and it contains nearly 5,000 U.S military personnel as well as 2,000 American and British civilian employees assigned to the base.

It is the largest U.S. Air Force-operated base in England and the only U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) F-15 fighter wing, “providing responsive air combat power, support and services for America and her Allies” in the ‘war on terror.’ By their own admission, the “boys away from home” have a problem with substance and alcohol abuse and two Airmen received a court-martial this year for assaults on the public. One was charged and found guilty on Feb.12th. 2002 and sentenced to six months confinement for random attacks on passers-by in the Cambridge area.

Unless the prosecution has incontrovertible proof to incriminate Ian Huntley, which has still to be produced, RAF Lakenheath should be swarming with police, but strangely it is not even part of this inquiry, although in a similar incident, a State Trooper was charged with two counts of sexual battery against a nine-year-old girl in the US.

The families of Holly and Jessica are not only the victims of child killers, but also of corrupt police, unsatisfactory investigations and gratuitous exploitation by the press in their grief. Partly due to irresponsible journalism, they may never witness a fair trial, or see the real perpetrators of paedophilia and murder most foul in their midst, brought to justice.

The authorities have been equally unsuccessful in solving the Amanda Dowler case and John Stalker, a former deputy chief constable said, whoever snatched her “had the luck of the Devil” because the close circuit cameras were not working, but assuredly we are reminded that more CCTV will ‘protect’ us and they took the opportunity to advertise chipped GPS bracelets for children’s ‘safety’ in response to a spate of child abductions at home and abroad.

The media are now solely concerned with Maxine’s “smirk” and Huntley’s “vacant stare” and the news that he went on hunger strike barely got a mention, while his girlfriend, an anorexic, is a shadow of her former self. It tends to be the innocent, not the guilty, who take drastic measures like refusing food, but Huntley is being ‘fast-tracked’ through the court system under new legislation intended to deal with persistent petty offenders, and held incognito.

Carr should have been released on bail for her lesser offence, she is not a danger to the public, rather, the public are a danger to her. Perhaps she is being used as a bargaining tool to get a ‘confession’ from Huntley... If you were told your girlfriend would be kept in custody for life if you didn’t “confess” or freed if you did – what would you do? Admit to a heinous double murder you didn’t commit and become the nations most hated man?

However, It didn’t take long for the real truth to come out in the wake of the Soham murders and I’m not talking about the investigation that is going no-where... but as every “conspiracy nut” knows, the child-sacrificing Cabal who run and ruin World Affairs want a microchipped population and it is unlikely the majority will volunteer for it, so they have to create the impetus, hence the full page spread in The Mirror – MICROCHIPPED – ‘to save our girl, aged 11, from being abducted’ by a family taking the bait after events in Soham.

The chip emits radio waves through a mobile phone network and beams the exact location to a computer. Now you know why masts are springing up on schools, hospitals, churches and sports stadiums, everywhere that large numbers of people congregate. One must question the possible health risks to the recipient of this transceiver, but the system could also be abused by parents, or worse, the government, to track individuals and perhaps exert an element of intrusive control over their lives.

The Mirror writes: ‘Once the chip is fully developed, anyone could be fitted with it, from newborn babies at risk of being snatched to Alzheimer sufferers.’ The Tory Party are also calling for prisoners and paedophiles to carry an electronic tracking device. Professor Warwick, the cybernetics expert who developed the implantable chip added; “I’m confident this has to be the correct course of action in the light of recent, tragic events” - and that’s why these murders have had media saturation, for maximum effect.

Eager and compliant parents welcomed the idea, prepared to accept anything to keep their children safe, because The Voice of the Mirror says; ‘The sad truth is that today we live in a state of fear.’ That is sheer auto-suggestion and wishful thinking on their part and a first step towards making GPS microchips mandatory, but if there are not enough ‘fearful’ takers, the next phase will be to make conscientious objectors appear as “bad parents” or “anti-establishment” which would equate them with “terrorists.”

If this tactic fails, they will resort to injecting you surreptitiously with ‘nano-bots’ in a vaccination programme, probably during a carefully calculated smallpox scare, by “terrorists” of course, GP’s have already been briefed to recognise symptoms. But it a sad indictment of our institutions that the unsolved murder of two young girls should now be exploited and inextricably linked to a demand for a microchipped population.
