Detain him at the scene and seize the car as a crime scene.

Police told him to follow behind the ambulance to the hospital.

He didn't do that.

He went back to the house.

He changed his clothes and he showered and he gave his clothes to one of the three women who was later convicted of assisting offenders to take away and wash.

And then he arrived back at the hospital in a completely different outfit.

And the officers failed to question, first of all, why he hadn't followed behind the ambulance and also why he was wearing different clothes than he had been when they had met with him earlier in the day.

It did.

You know, it wasn't until the following March that Cresswell was eventually arrested in terms of the murder of Katie.

And up until that, numerous people were trying to whistleblow and were trying to raise concerns with the police, but they were dismissed.

And it was very difficult then to start trying to investigate the murder at a later date, because when you talk about the failures...

You know, they didn't seize her car.

They didn't examine it as a crime scene.

They didn't treat Cresswell himself as a potential crime scene in terms of his own clothing, which could have obviously yielded information.

When Katie was taken into hospital, she was covered in bruises.

Her arms were bruised, her legs were bruised.

When the nurse went to try and insert a catheter, they realised that she was bleeding.

and that her underwear was covered in blood.

And yet there was no, again, no questions raised in relation to this.

Criswell said she'd fallen from a horse the day before and that's why she was covered in bruises.
