Thanks for stopping by, John. I agree, the parents live a nightmare. I have not heard any more news since I posted this. Should you find anything, feel free to send me the link. I can always use help keeping these cases up to date!

I wasn’t born when this happened but I’ve been reading the event over the last week.

Those poor poor parents. Not having any trace of your children for closure is one of the worst things. Especially with all the hoaxes they have had to contend with.

They are amazing people to be able to survive through this – I’m not sure I could have.

This latest news seems like another hoax.

This is a ugly part of Australian history and I only hope one day it will be solved but the poor parents will go to their graves with no closure.

@ Sandy Williams: I requested interviews at many of my stops, Sandy, and also asked hosts to suggest topics they’d like me to talk about. When I was stuck for something, I often took a question from one of the interviews (or from a previous commenter) and expanded my answer into a blog post. A couple of the stops were also exclusive excerpts, so that provided a bit of a break for me, too.

As for doing a blog tour yourself, I would be thrilled to have you guest at my blog whenever you’d like!

I’m totally taking notes on this post! I didn’t do half of what I wanted to do when The Shadow Reader was released, so I’m determined to do better with its sequel. I definitely think that a blog tour is a must!

Question: How did you come up with enough posts ideas for such a huge tour?

P.S. Love Parajunkee’s blog. I didn’t know she arranged blog tours. Cool!

@ Stella (Ex Libris): Yep, got a little carried away by my own enthusiasm on that one, lol. Looking forward to seeing you on tour again!!!

Hi Linda! *waves*

Great post, good to see what happened behind the scenes And wow 6 weeks of touring? That sure is a long one, no wonder you were exhausted! I was so glad to be included in your 1st tour and looking forward very much to the 2nd!

Thanks for the link, John!

There is a learned group re blood spatter – http://www.iabpa.org/

If a victim was taking certain medications, could those medications affect their blood composition and in an assault therefore affect any blood splatter formations due to the thickness/thiness/chemically adjusted blood composition.

Also if some victims have certain blood diseases e.g. haemophillia, naturally occuring abnormal clotting or H.I.V. or anaemia, does that also affect the blood splatter/distribution of blood in an attack scenario?

Handwriting on the card. Was it ever submitted for analysis to id the writer?

Parsons vs Parsons. No mention that a man named Parsons with any forename was a wanted person. The identification of Brian does not seem to have come about through his name.

Review by Hampshire police. Critical but in what respects?

Proceeds. Was any identifiable property taken from the house – what attempts to trace that?

Procedures. Case was some while back prior to understanding importance of structured investigations/SIO etc. Not totally unknown for cock-ups to occur. Unless the ‘errors’ can be shown to be malicious, don’t rely too much on these. IMHO
