The grass that grows on the track had been mown that evening by a local farmer and as I pointed out in an earlier comment the soil over which the track runs is Oxford Clay. In mid July such soils are normally dry and hard and do not imprint easily.<br />The soil in the wood is similar and vegetation in this part of the wood is sparse, so again not much chance of any imprint from peoples footwear.<br />In other words it would have taken some very careful forensic examination to detect if anybody other than Dr Kelly had walked up the track from either direction and entered the wood. Then if we also take into account the large number of police officers that appeared to attend the scene before such an examination could or did take place and the total incompetence of Thames Valley Police there is no way they can make a statement stating that no "third party" was present at the scene where David Kelly's body was found.<br />Frankfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515029724043555921noreply@blogger.com
