Gislingham gives a low whistle. ‘Jesus, white smoke from Soho Farmhouse?’

‘Yup,’ says Baxter, ‘Fawley to the rescue. Maybe he’s the one with White Knight Syndrome.’

Gis grins. ‘What did he have to do to swing that?’

Bax gives him a wry look. ‘Agree to appear on anyInfamousshow Dry Riser make about the Mason case. Or so I’m told.’

Gis’s smile widens. ‘Poor sod, he gets all the tough gigs.’

The attached Dropbox link is to the Robin Tierney files sent over from Dry Riser.

We’re still pursuing the records from her mobile phone provider, in order to establish where the ‘imposter’ calls were made in late June and July, and who else Tierney was communicating with when she was in the UK.

We’re also checking ANPR records to see if we can trace where she drove the Nissan Figaro while she was staying in Hescombe, but no luck yet.

Subject: Daisy Mason case

I’ve spent the weekend looking over what you sent about the case and I can see why you think there may be something in it. I’ve also done some digging online and there’s the usual posse oftinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists speculating about whether Daisy could still be alive, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this is what this Kelsie Smith woman thinks she has. Interestingly enough Smith’s name isn’t coming up anywhere in relation to the case. Though it could, of course, be an alias, especially if she’s someone who knows the real abductor.

Anyway, I’ll reach out to her and see whether I can extract any more.

Will keep you posted. Enjoy Whistler!

I’ve got hold of the trial transcripts now, and Jeez that Sharon is a piece of work. Nick’s going to be beside himself with the drama reconstructions for this one.

I also spent a whole afternoon piecing together the timeline and as far as I can see, if itwasn’tthe mother, there simply wasn’t enough time for some random guy to have taken the kid. I’ve attached it for you to see.
