There are some odd discrepancies in what people remember from that night. Have you noticed?

I have

Like the disappearing symbols in the warehouse. Whether Jonah had a knife or not. Whether the baby was taken by police or social services.

Police, social services – or someone else.

SUBJECT:Re: A small favour

FROM:Amanda Bailey

Hi Cathy-June,

Thanks for your letter. I’m delighted you enjoyedThe Doorstep. Sadly, I will have to turn down the kind offer to speak at your next meeting, as I amcurrently writing my fourth book. It’s about the Alperton Angels. You may remember the story from 2003. By any chance, has your club looked at this case? It’s turning into something of a mystery – then and now.

If you have, and can pinpoint any areas of interest, do let me know. Or if you’ve managed to speak with anyone connected to the case – I’m especially keen to contact the baby, who is now an adult. I will happily credit you in the acknowledgements if you can dig up anything interesting. Best wishes and happy sleuthing!

Hey! I loved chatting with you on Fresh Ghost last time, delighted to do it again. I’m writing a book on the Alperton Angels. Can I ask your listeners for information and contacts? Really keen to get grass-roots comment into this one.

Dave ‘Itchy’ Kilmore

You can ask our listeners anything, Mandy. We love grass-roots comment – it’s what Fresh Ghost is all about. Will be in touch with dates and times.
