Was everything OK at home?

So and then, you know, I suppose the other things that pop up that, you know, questions, you know, I suppose that come into your mind.

You know, when Craswell was in jail that time, Christina went to visit him.

She was only 16 or 17 years old.

She was apparently in the company of an older woman.

we don't know for sure who that older woman was yeah probably yeah so she was taking her into the prison to visit Jonathan Creswell now Christina's family will say that they didn't know why Creswell was in prison at the time which you know given the high profile nature of that case at the time

Yeah.

And, you know, she was she's speaking of the nursing staff there and something that, you know, another pop up of this in the review, it is mentioned that one of the nurses was worried about her own daughter, you know, the size of Northern Ireland.

We all know how small Ireland is.

And lo and behold, one of the nurses on duty that day knows who Creswell is because her own daughter is at a stables wherever he is.

And she has worries about him.

And again, she was one of the people who went to the PSNI to voice her concerns.

Again, it wasn't followed up.

Yeah.

And as we covered in the podcast, you know, he took that, he had that small band of women around him who he, you know, took out and gave them a completely different narrative and, you know, basically appealed to their, you know, to their sympathies and said, you all think I did it.

That isn't what happened.

Everyone's trying to frame me for this.

And certainly some of those women he had convinced and they continued to cover up for him.

Three of them actually ended up having to go to court, face charges and were, all was three received suspended sentences.

But he, until he was actually, until that second investigation and until he was taken in and kept in custody for quite a, you know, quite a good chunk of weeks and then out on bail after that.
