WhatsApp messages between me and retired detective chief superintendent Don Makepeace, 21 July 2021:

Amanda Bailey

Hi, Don. What made you think the baby in the Alperton Angels case was adopted by family of Holly’s? I’ve found something out recently. Let’s just say that if it’s true, it’s only part of the story.

Don Makepeace

Facts get warped every time someone tells them. I may have got it wrong or been deliberately misled. Are you sure the baby’s destination is the best place to look, Amanda?

Amanda Bailey

Did you trace Marie-Claire?

Don Makepeace

I drew a blank. Don.

Email exchange between Oliver Menzies and spiritual counsellor Paul Cole, 21 July 2021:

SUBJECT:Gabriel

FROM:Oliver Menzies

Gabriel dreamed about me.

First, he said my purpose was to look after my dad while he was ill. That’s it. To look after my dad at the end of his life. If that’s true then I lived my first thirty-seven years without any purpose, then my purpose kicked in for less than three years, then it was over. He said I’m an angel. He said he’d dreamed about me and that an orchard would be significant. Oliver

Dear Oliver,

The concept of a purpose was something Gabriel used to manipulate people. It’s a strong sense within us. I doubt very much that was your sole purpose. We have many that change throughout our lives. I must also iterate that despite Gabriel’s fascinating connection to the other side, I believe he is nonetheless a chaos maker. He has a gift but he uses it for his own gain, not for the benefit of others. I would exercise caution in your dealings with him.

All the best,

Paul

Do you believe in evil, Paul? Not as a religious concept, but as aforce? I’ve been reading about places where really bad things happened. Torture. Abuse. Murders. Some people think those places become infused with the negative energy of those ‘evil’ events. They call it ‘stone recording’. It’snot a ghost or vampire, but an energy. Listen. I don’t believe in religion or spiritual things, but for me this has a scientific basis. Electrical and magnetic energy are invisible but we know they exist, right? They can be stored and released at will. Could the force of evil, of negativity, generate an energy that is similarly controlled?

I’m working on a new angle for my book about the Alperton Angels and think I may have something. Interested in your thoughts.
