Post by NoTrueFlags HerePost by Donald WillisPost by NoTrueFlags HereWills has started a thread on Eddie's Farm asking for time estimates for the Allen photo of Edwards being taken off to the Sheriff's Office. Pat Speer has given the estimate of 12:50. I think that's about right, and the graphic link to below demonstrate why. Tom Alyea's film captures Edwards and others turning to look up at the Hollering Cop. His Sheriff Department escort is by his side. Murray photographed Edwards being questioned with Fischer in the Sheriff's Office, and somebody, I'd guess Trask, has timed this photo at about 1:06. Fischer had to be fetched after Edwards, so it must be several minutes between the Hollering and the Murray photo, 15 seems about right. Whatever, The Great Hollering seems to have occurred well before the Official Story Time of 1:15. https://postimg.cc/PCxNSRxP
I assume that it's Mooney's holler which is in question,. not "Slowmo" Sgt. Hill's...
The Alyea film supports the Mooney hollering because it shows Decker down on the street as Mooney said he was. It also shows Harkness going to his motorcycle to call for the crime lab. Hill said he was not sure that anybody heard him. That's why he had started to go outside...to make sure. "At this point, I asked the deputy sheriff to guard the scene, not to let anybody touch anything, and I went over still further west to another window about the middle of the building on the south side and yelled down to the street for them to send us the crime lab. Not knowing or not getting any indication from the street that they heard me, I asked the deputies again to guard the scene and I would go down and make sure that the crime lab was en route." If Hill really was there, then he was oblivious. Mooney saw that he had been heard. Mooney was not oblivious.
If Hill was there, he recreated the scene to suit his testimony. And the time of the Allen photo has to be about 12:59, right? If, that is, it signals the discovery of the hulls. (But see also below.) Trask timed the photo of Hill at 1:05, but he also wrote that Hill opened the window himself (Trask p523). Hill doesn't testify that he opened the window, however, so all bets are off there. If there was any hollering about 12:50, that has to be a *third* holler, or the first, chronologically. If there was, then that was for the (independent) discovery of the "nest", not the shells, which as I noted, happened about 10 minutes later. That would be pretty significant, I think. Can't have the shells discovered a good 8 minutes after the "nest"! Mooney always said that he found the shells almost immediately after finding the "nest"... And it was Tony Krome who started the thread, not I. (I was, though, the first follow-upper.)
