I thought you may be interested in looking at this: www.pamelawernermurder.com, as it puts the crime into context.<br />It also questions where DID Paul french get his information, why did he change key dates, why did he feel a need to "sex-up" Pamela? <br />As a woman you may be interested to read Paul french's interview on the "Sources in detail" page. <br />best wishes<br />ECEChttp://www.pamelawernermurderpeking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-31263976654676452382012-08-30T17:02:47.693-04:002012-08-30T17:02:47.693-04:00Yes, it is just instinctual now.
