Gathering & Analysing Facts

This is when all the information up until this stage that has been uncovered and found is analysed as a whole. It makes sense to have this stage after all the information has been gathered and is able to be analysed. This information could include; witness statements, possible suspects as well as forensic evidence. This stage is beneficial as it allows the investigators to organise the facts and analyse these facts into which is more important and build up evidence against the suspect.

By this stage in the Guy Paul case the only evidence they had were a fibre on a blanket in the boot of Guy Paul's car and witness statements from the parents and the neighbours, however the parents changed their statement so that it weighed against Guy Paul. As the body hadn't been found there was no other evidence that could have been used. The fibre on the blanket was not able to be compared to that of the jumper Christine was wearing so it shouldn't have been used, the inspectors should have also noticed the change in the statement and brought it up with the parents of Christine. This would have left the police with no evidence for the case.
