— A final case meeting was booked for June 10, a month away.
Two officers spent weeks preparing a PowerPoint presentation for the meeting.
They wanted to show the coroner's office that all leads had been exhausted.
But they didn't spend any further time actually pursuing leads.
I tried to speak with both officers, but they declined.
At that final case meeting, the pathologist, Dr. Pickup, laid out three possible scenarios for how Bridget got her injuries.
The first was that Bridget had been strangled in an unusual way, like with a bar arm chokehold, where the forearm is pressed across the front of the neck.
The second was a scenario he called strangulation plus, a violent attack with choking and other blunt force injuries.
The third possibility was an accidental fall, either down the stairs or onto them.
But Dr. Pickup presented this as the least likely scenario.
And yet, the police concluded in their PowerPoint that after an exhaustive investigation, that's their word, exhaustive, they'd found no evidence of foul play.
That wasn't the end of it, though.
In the final post-mortem report, Dr. Pickup laid out again, in painstaking detail, the evidence that suggested Bridget Harrison was strangled alongside the possibility that she'd fallen down the stairs.
But again, strangulation was presented as the more likely scenario.
On September 2nd, 2010, only four months after Bridget's death and with many unanswered questions, police closed the investigation.
The case closure note said, after an exhaustive investigation into this matter, there has been no evidence to suggest Bridget Harrison was the victim of foul play or any other criminal act.
When I read this for the first time, my jaw dropped.
What they wrote just wasn't true.
To say there was no evidence of foul play, it was an unbelievable conclusion.
The family, Bridget's son and her brother, was never told the case had been closed.
