Just forwarded an email. What do you think?

Who are these people?
Amanda Bailey
A murder club. Don’t pull the face I know you’re pulling right now.
Oliver Menzies
A murder club. Quirky-looking girls and guys with beards.
Amanda Bailey
I’m a quirky-looking girl, you’re a guy with a beard

Well, I picked up on the different body numbers straight away. Hysterical hearsay in the immediate aftermath of a horrible crime.

‘Three bodies’ comes from Gray Graham and he was THERE. We know there were three bodies in the basement of that warehouse before the police arrived. Singh’s body was found the previous day in Middlesex House. Four bodies. It’s very straightforward. Why the confusion?
Another email from amateur detective David Polneath, 17 July 2021:
TO:Amanda Bailey
DATE:17 July 2021
SUBJECT:The Alperton Angels
FROM:David Polneath
Dear Amanda,
I haven’t received a reply to my last email, so I wonder, did it arrive? I never know if my account is being hacked or messages intercepted.
This whole case is so emotive. Angels, demons, troubled teenagers failed by the system, cult members mutilated in a violent bloodbath, a baby in peril, rescued at the final moment in an heroic showdown … It’s no wonder writers and filmmakers were inspired by it. But what if they were all unwittingly colluding with a smokescreen?
I have a theory that somehow the media got hold of this news too soon after the events, so a planned cover-up couldn’t be finalised. Theyhad to work quickly and off the cuff to keep the truth under wraps.
We have to be careful though, Amanda, you and I.
Yours,
David
Amanda Bailey’s guest appearance on theFresh Ghostpodcast, hosted by Dave ‘Itchy’ Kilmore. Recorded at the Soho Studio, 18 July 2021. Transcribed by Ellie Cooper.
AB:Ellie, I’m about to take part in this podcast. They discuss supernatural phenomena and conspiracy theories. Ignore all that. Just transcribe anything about the Alperton Angels. [As requested, I cut the chat about UFO sightings, ghost stories and serial killers. This is all I have left. EC]
DIK:[What can I say? Those are his initials. EC] So, a genie is trapped in your cupboard and he offers you three wishes, plus the option to free him. What do you say? First wish.
AB:My first wish is that every time I wish for something, I’m granted two more wishes.
DIK:Nice one. That way your wish account will always be in credit. Second wish?
