The BBC & Clare Johns Involvement In Covering Up The FACTS And Misrepresenting The Circumstances And The FACTS, Surrounding Ambroses’ Disappearance And Death…

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

The first time our younger sister Amanda and I met Clare Johns, was at David Lammys surgery, which was based in Tottenham. Ruth and I were supposed to attend this meeting, but as Ruth had to be admitted to ICU a few days previously, Amanda stepped in and accompanied me.
After Amanda and I had explained what was going on to David Lammy and said goodbyes, Clare approached us, and asked if she could ask us a few  questions outside.  We obliged, as any publicity was good publicity, right?
After going into things in more depth with Clare, she gave us  her details and told us to make contact with her again, after we had discussed matters with Ruth.  Once we had finished talking to her,  Amanda and I returned to the ICU to let Ruth know how the meeting had gone.  To be truthful, at first we were all very hesitant, but optimistic, so a few days later, we had agreed  to meet with Clare, to hear more about what she had to say and what was on offer. A few days after that, Ruth met Clare and from that moment, until we disagreed with the programme, Clare gave Ruth the impression that she was a friend, first and foremost. Ensuring us throughout the 10 months, that she will show nothing but the truth, which is all we had been asking for. With this reassurance I agreed to be filmed.
Below is a post I wrote the day after Ruth took part  in this ‘walk’. This walk took place less than 6 weeks after Ambrose had disappeared. Clare Johns attended this walk, mingled with, and chatted with Ruth, family members and supporters of the Justice 4 Ambrose group.  She got to witness first hand, the  stress, despair and heartache Ruth and other members of Ambrose’s family were going through…
 Post – Ambroses’ Birthday 2nd March 2015
“Yesterday Ruth led a small group of supporters (approx 50) from Colindale Park to Colindale Police station.  Although we had received private messages from a large number of regular people to the site,  letting us know they couldn’t attend for various reasons (which we completely understand), there were others who had said they were coming and didn’t show.  Although this was disappointing, it did not interfere with the aim of the walk, which was to hand deliver a letter which was For The Attention of Victor Olisa.  
I have never seen such determination in my life.  Although this was termed a “walk”, Ruth marched all the way from the starting point to the finishing point.  Around 7 to 5 minutes before we reached the police station Ruth asked for the loud speaker.  For about 5 minutes she was walking at a fast pace and speaking.  After putting the loud speaker down she began to feel sick, but she wouldn’t stop.  In order to get some assistance in supporting Ruth I called our sister Denny, so that we could both physically support her to the police station. Once inside, Ruth collapsed as she was having trouble breathing.  After having a drink of water and a few minutes to recover, Ruth was able to sit up on the seat in the waiting area of the police station.  Ruth was then given a receipt for the letter, which she then handed over.  We were then offered a lift back home by Peter Dearden which we accepted.  However, as Ruth felt bad about the amount of work that was put in by members of the family and the fact that some of the supporters were returning to the park, Peter Dearden ended up taking us back to Colindale Park where we joined other members of the family and a small group of supporters.
 I would just like to say that the treatment Ruth and I both received from Peter Dearden and Richard Peach, who are policeman, was fantastic.
 Now we await a phone call from the police.  We were told that we would be contacted on Monday with the opportunity an appointment to get answers to the many questions which Ruth has been after from day one.  Once we have attended this meeting I will be sure to post the responses here.
We would like to say a massive thank you to those who took the time out to attend the walk and support Ruth, in  delivering her questions to Colindale Police station.  Every single persons presence, including the children, was extremely valuable.  The fact that the turnout was far lower than expected meant that the presence of those who did turn up, was even  more valuable.  I am sorry I can’t remember all your names, as I didn’t really get the chance to mingle as it were, but I’m sure you’ll know who you are.
Once again thank you very much for all your continuing support, whether on here on in real life via walks/marches.  We hope to do another walk in the near future.  We will be sure to post details of this when we have a date.  Like before any of those who can attend, will be more than welcome.”
Clare followed us for 10 months. She promised us that the programme ‘This is Tottenham’ would tell the truth regarding  Ambroses’ disappearance,  death and the way we had been treated by the Metropolitan Police, from the moment Ruth reported Ambrose missing to Colindale Police station.
As we were approaching the Inquest into Ambroses’ death, Ruth had been going  through a very hard time and she had become even more depressed. She wasn’t seeing anyone, preferring instead to stay in her room and go on social media, hoping and praying for a break through in Ambroses’ case.  As a result of Ruth refusing to take Clares’ calls or agreeing to see her, Clare Johns came to my house, unannounced, on Sunday 15th November 2015. This wasn’t a social visit, it was a visit to show us the finished version of the BBC 2 documentary programme, ‘This is Tottenham’.
cjp
Although we originally told Clare we liked the programme, (as one of the emails explains below), once she left and once we were able to discuss this in private, we decided that we wanted nothing to do with the programme.
First of all Ruth contacted Clare Johns by telephone to let her know how we felt about the whole situation, including wasting 10 months of her time. I believe given the circumstances we found ourselves in, Ruth and I handle the situation quite well, however, emotions do run high, and bad language can be heard at times. If you want to, you can listen to the FULL telephone conversation on my YouTube channel and make up your own minds… https://youtu.be/Q1FPaaOVL4I
Following the above phone-call, both Ruth and I sent emails off to Clare Johns and the other people who were involved in the making/airing of the programme ‘This is Tottenham’. The exchange of emails were as follows:

Dear Mrs Villiers,

Thank you for your letter to the Director-General, dated 23 November 2015 which I’m responding to on his behalf. Please accept our apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Unfortunately your letter did not reach our office until two days ago.

As you may know, Mrs Harrison contacted the BBC directly prior to the broadcast of This is Tottenham. The programme team replied to her on 2 December and I have attached a copy of that reply for your information.

The programme was of course very disappointed that Ruth Lovell and her sister Alexandria were no longer happy to be included in the documentary. However they remain confident that the portrayal of those featured in the programme is fair and accurate and therefore proceeded with the broadcast as planned.

If you remain unhappy and wish to contact us again, Paul Kettle has been liaising with the production team about this matter and is happy to correspond with you.

I will make the Director General aware of our correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

Dominic Groves

Chief Complaints Advisor

Director General’s Office

Reply to Alexandria Harrison – 2 December

Thank you for your correspondence regarding This is Tottenham.

As Wendy Robbins said in her email of 30 November, we are very disappointed to learn that you are no longer happy to be shown in the documentary. As you are aware, throughout the entire filming process, filming was carried out with fully informed consent from you and your family. Your family always knew they would have been identifiable and the issue of anonymity was never raised.

The team feel that you have an important story to tell and one that fits within this documentary on David Lammy’s surgery. We believe we have reflected events in a fair and accurate way, and are confident that the scenes in which you appear demonstrates this. The documentary will be aired tonight, Wednesday 2nd December, at 9pm on BBC 2.

Unfortunately Clare had been lying to us for the 10 months she was by our side. Ruth especially, had grown to trust Clare and had began to look at her as a friend.  Clare would even go as far as to give Ruth random calls just to check in on how things were going with the case, so that she could make a note of it.
Getting wider media attention has been something which has always been denied to Ruth, since the 24th January 2015.  However having said that, Victor O’lisa had made an offer for Ruth to appear on  Crimewatch, during the meeting he attended at my home and which was televised.  This too was filmed by Clare, although none of it made the programme. Clare also failed to mention that Ruth had only been out of ICU for 2 days and had sat through a meeting with Victor O’lisa for appropriately 30 minutes before walking out. The programme did exactly what the Metropolitan Police did, and that was to bring her past into the equation of Ambroses’ disappearance and death.  They implied that her thoughts/distrust and behaviour were caused by her past and, not related to Ambrose and the treatment she was receiving at the hands of the Metropolitan Police. A disgusting tactic used by the BBC and Clare Johns.
Initially Clare did tell us that the programme she was doing was about a number of people, who lived in Tottenham, and, who had passed through David Lammys’ surgery or, were asking for his help. But, as time went on and as we discovered  how corrupt Ambroses’ case was, we did discuss a whole programme just for Ambrose. Clare was fully behind this, saying she would speak with her ‘bosses’. However, leaving that aside, all we were interested in, was getting the truth broadcast to a wider audience, whether that was for 5 or 60 minutes wasn’t the issue. 
 
Clare herself told us on numerous occasions that the case was corrupt and that Ambrose deserved his own programme, which she was going to try and see to.  She knew about the unprofessional treatment we had been on the receiving end of, and she herself called it disgusting. Clare was aware of what witnesses had said, what our thoughts were and how the Metropolitan Police and the I.P.C.C. had behaved regarding communicating with us and refusing to disclose disclosures for the inquest.  Clare was also aware that a successful DNA test had not been done and that the tissue tested during the PM proved inconclusive. Clare was also aware that within 30 minutes of leaving the mortuary, both Ruth and I were doubting whether we had just seen Ambrose. She also knew about the death threats we had been receiving and the effect this was having on both Ruth and my own mental health. She discussed with us, on numerous occasions, how the press work and how stories spread like wild flower, once media outlet prints/shows something. Clare witnessed first hand the tears, the stress, the pain and heartache that Ambroses disappearance, death and everything that has happened since, has affected Ruth, our families and myself. Taking all of that into account, when we made our objections  clear about the programme, Clare turned into a reporter instantly., even though when we made our objections known to Clare, she agreed with us completely. 
 
This programme did nothing but cover up the  corruption that exists in this case. The programme made the Metropolitan Police look as though they did everything they could to help us.  The programme also portrayed us, the family, in a way which misrepresented us, our story and Ambroses’ disappearance and murder. In short, the programme and those responsible did nothing but play down the circumstances, the involvement and lack of involvement of the Metropolitan Police and the I.P.C.C…
Clare Johns you truly are a disgrace.  Something tells me Ruth and Vickys families are not the only ones who have been taken in by you like this. How you can sleep at night, is beyond me. I hope the pay packet was worth it, because the effect it has had on us, is stronger today, than it was 2 yeas ago…
 
Below is the link to a snippet of audio, which basically covered what was in the programme ‘This is Tottenham’. This  is what 10 months of stress, intrusion and being followed around, amounted to. The bit where you hear Ruth say ‘Gina please help me” is what she says just before she collapses in the Police station. Disgusting editing to say the very least.  If they were going to include that part, why did they not tell/show the full clip?
This is a tiny snippet of some of the recordings we have.  In these Clare also voices her opinion/s about other subjects, however none of the information we shared with Clare regarding Ambroses’ case and the way w have been dealt with by the police. .

We have been struggling to get justice for 3 years and to bring this case to the attention of the wider media and general public, but, we have been blocked at every avenue, by the BBC and the Metropolitan Police to name just a couple of organisations. Re-tweeting and sharing this via social media, in the hope that it goes viral, is our last hope. It only takes a few seconds to do, but it would mean the World to us and, it could make all the difference regarding Ambroses’ case receiving the exposure it deserves. Please don’t do nothing, God forbid, you could find yourself in the same situation, which is something I wouldn’t wish on my worse enemy.

Correspondence Ruth And Her Solicitor Christina, Have Sent To Andrew Walker Via His Aides – Prior To, During And Following the Inquest, Into The Death of Ambrose Garfield Gene Ball…

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

***Right click and open screen shots in new tab to see them better. The same applies if you have a tag, as opposed to an image showing***

The majority of  people seem to think that because we received an open conclusion at Ambrose’s inquest, we should be really pleased. Hmmmm no.

We believe Andrew Walker gave an open verdict to cover his own back, and in the process of doing that,  he disregarded and attempted to debunk everything we stated as fact. 

On the other hand, he agreed with the evidence given by the police, although we never saw 90% of that evidence.  Their word was enough to satisfy Andrew Walker. Well it is not enough to satisfy us…

We demand to see that EVIDENCE and to show our EVIDENCE, via the same CCTV which was constantly referred to during the  inquest to back up the events given by the Metropolitan Police…

Our evidence is everything you read in this blog. All of this was made available to a number of people within the Metropolitan Police as and when it came up. The coroner Andrew Walker and his aides Beckie Smith, Jacqueline Reid and Laurie Roach have also been aware of things since April 30th 2015, at the opening into the inquest into the death of Ambrose Garfield Gene Ball, by the way of emails, recordings and P.I.H’s. Having said that, Jacqueline Reid and Laurie Roach only became involved once Beckie Smith was no longer around. Response – 80% Negative.

In addition to those already mentioned, this information was also made known to a number of MP’s such as Jeremy Colburn, Diane Abbot, David Cameron, Teresa May, Teresa Villers, David Lammy , Alison and Richard Cornelius and others via Twitter or email. Diane Abbot, Teresa Villers and David Lammy were all met in person. Response – 60% Positive.

ALL of the major UK’s and American TV news stations, were also approached via Twitter and in some cases by phone. These included BBC1; BBC2; Channel 4 news; Channel 5 News; ITV News; ABC News and CNN News. Response – 100% Negative.

News presenters Jon Snow and Sir Trevor McDonald, also via Twitter. Response – 100% Negative.

British Daily TV programmes such as The Wright Stuff, This Morning, Loose Women, Response – 100% Negative.

And via Twitter to British, African, Caribbean, Australian and American celebrities such as Frank Bruno; Lennox Lewis; Linford Christie; Lewis Hamilton; Richard Blackwood; Oprah Winfrey; Chris Eubank – Senior and Junior; Katie Price; Davina McCall,; Amanda Holden; Simon Cowell; Philip Scolfield; Kylie Monogue; Jodie Marsh; Emma Bunton; Mr and Mrs Beckham; Richard Branson; Sir Alan Sugar and members of the British royal family to list a small selection. We are aware that a few of these celebrities do not use Twitter very often, but the majority of them do. Response – 99.7% Negative.

Others who have been made aware are organisations and charities such as the UN;  House of Lords; House of Commons; MIND; SANE; Conservative Party HQ; Labour Party HQ; SNP; Mental Health UK; Equality For All; Justice For Fathers; Victims Support; Black Awareness Foundation; All Lives Matter;  Black Lives Matter; Anonymous; and Human Rights; Some of these have been contacted via Twitter and email. Response – 100% Negative.

We have also contacted a number of music channels such as MTV; MTV Base; VH1. Newspapers and magazines such as The Voice; Daily Mirror; Red; Womans Own. Radio stations such as Magic; Heart; Smooth; Kiss FM; Capital; and BBC Radio one.  Response – 90% Negative.

Those people/organisations/charities mentioned couldn’t even be bothered to re-tweet a tweet, much less acknowledge what we as a family were going through. These people/organisations/charities could have made such a difference to the publicity that Ambroses’ case received, but they decided, for whatever reason, that Ambrose and us as his family, were not even worth the few seconds it takes to re-tweet a tweet…

I guess it’s a case of ‘As long as we’re alright and those we love are safe, that’s all that matters.’ This is such a dangerous stance to take, especially when it involves those who are supposed to be there to uphold the law and protect us. The longer people remain afraid to speak up for what’s right, the worse this problem will become. This problem is not going to stop on it’s own, it will only get worse if nothing is done.

This section contains the correspondence between Ruth and the coroners office, which outlines the various problems which arose and what Ruth knows happened to Ambrose. 

Below is an email from Ruths’ solicitor to Beckie Smith, coroners clerk –  21st July 2015.

Below are a few emails which are in relation to a DNA test that Beckie Smith had kindly arranged for Ruth.  However, as Ruth was unable to get hold of me, this offer was not taken up at the time. 

I just want to clarify something before I go any further.  Ruth and I have been calling the PM we are waiting for, a ‘2nd Independent PM’. This is incorrect.  What we are actually waiting for is for Ambrose to have his FIRST independent PM done.  This is a right which Ruth has been denied from the beginning. 

We have decided to wait until Ruth gets Ambroses’ PM done independently. The reason for this is because Beckie explained to Ruth, that in order for the DNA test to be done, they would have to thaw Ambroses’ body. We understand that once this process is undertaken, it will speed the rate of decomposition, making any independent PM harder, unless it was carried out at the same time.

I have 2 major issues with this.  The 1st one is that Ruth signed for Ambroses’ tissues not to be destroyed and, that they are to remain in storage, for later testing.  So my question is why did Beckie tell Ruth that they needed to move Ambroses’ body to Kings College Hospital to thaw etc before a DNA test could be carried out, when they know we already have tissue samples that belong to Ambrose? In addition to this, we also want these tested independently of the Metropolitan Police, Haringey council and Haringey Mortuary. 

My 2nd issue is why would Beckie advise Ruth to do that when she knows that Ruth want’s to get an independent PM done? Beckie is aware that Ruth cannot do that at the moment, so  if Ruth had agreed to go ahead with the DNA testing just before Christmas, she would have lost any chance of having a PM done independently of the police and Haringey council…

Below is an email Ruth sent to Beckie Smith on the 18th December 2017.  The reason for doing this is because Beckie Smith had actually left the coroners office before Ambroses’ inquest began, and Ruth just wanted to keep her up to date with how things have gone since Beckie had left, which was for a period of almost 2 years.

Some Of The Correspondence Between Ruth, Christina The Solicitor, David Lammy, Alison Cornelius and Teresa Villers MP’s, The I.P.C.C.The Metropolitan Police, The Monitoring Group and myself…

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

*** To enlarge the text, please right click to open new tab. If images show as tags rather than images, follow the same instructions***

In this section you can read a number of emails which have been sent to people, who have been involved, in one way or another, in Ambroses’ case. 

The collection you see below is just a selection of the emails Ruth has sent over a period of 3 years. To list them all would would be very time consuming.  However, I think the ones I have included, highlight the areas and concerns which surround Ambroses’ case, the way the Metropolitan Police have dealt with the investigation and, the way they have dealt with us as a grieving family.

Below is one of the very first emails I sent regarding Ambroses’ disappearance.  The details referred to within this email were known to us within 2 weeks of Ambrose going missing.  This same email was sent to a number of people, who were mainly Members Of Parliament. I then posted this onto Ambroses’ numerous FB and Twitter pages. 

You will come across the email below a number of times.  Nothing has changed in this email, apart from the people who it was sent to.

Below is an email I sent to a number of people, regarding a phone conversation between DI Sharon Freeman Woods and my husband Chris. This conversation took place 10 days after Ambrose went missing. By this time, the relationship between the Metropolitan Police and Ambroses’ family had completely broken down, due to a number of lies which will/have been exposed within this blog.  These also include the attitude of the DI and the FLO Lina Whitby towards the family their continuing incompetence, and in some cases, covering up the corruption which has taken place in relation to Ambrose disappearance and death, were the sole causes of this. – 4th February 2015.

The email below are a couple of emais from the MP Alison Cornelius, which she sent after being made aware  of Ambrose’scase. In one of them Alison clearly states the police started to fail Ambrose and Ruth from the very beginning, according to their own guidelines – 6th and 13th February 2015.

Below are copies of 2 emails which Ruth sent to Borough Commander Victor O’lisa on the 28th February and 1st March 2015. The ones below were delivered by hand, to Colindale Police station FAO Borough Commander Victor O’lisa on the 1st March 2015. 

The reason Ruth chose Colindale  is because this is the police station that is at the centre of the corruption that surrounds Ambroses’ disappearance and death. In addition to Colndale, it also became apparent, over time, that Enfield and Wood Green were also involved in one way or another – 28th February, 1st and 13th March 2015.

Dear Theresa.

I know you have told/advised me to get legal advice and at the time I was dead against getting any outside help reasons you are fully aware of. I felt that is was to late to go down that rd as far as the inquest was concerned. However this has passed now and feel that it is that time to get the legal support to continue on the road of getting to the truth in how my son met his death. I have ;looked in to pro bono and I have to have a referee to refer me and you are the most powerful person that i have who I can turn too. I really hope you don’t mind me turning to out of the blue as we have not spoken for some time but my life still remains the same s if I am in 29/2/2015 and have not moved on from that same nightmare. hope you can help me as you have done as I feel the biggest fight of my life is going to start and need all the help I can get. Thank you. Kindest regards, Ruth A Toni Lovell

Below are a few emails which are in relation to a DNA test that Beckie Smith had kindly arranged for Ruth.  However, as Ruth was unable to get hold of me, this offer was not taken up at the time. 

I just want to clarify something before I go any further.  Ruth and I have been calling the PM we are waiting for, a ‘2nd Independent PM’. This is incorrect.  What we are actually waiting for is for Ambrose to have his FIRST independent PM done.  This is a right which Ruth has been denied from the beginning. 

We have decided to wait until Ruth gets Ambroses’ PM done independently. The reason for this is because Beckie explained to Ruth, that in order for the DNA test to be done, they would have to thaw Ambroses’ body. We understand that once this process is undertaken, it will speed the rate of decomposition, making any independent PM harder, unless it was carried out at the same time.

I have 2 major issues with this.  The 1st one is that Ruth signed for Ambroses’ tissues not to be destroyed and, that they are to remain in storage, for later testing.  So my question is why did Beckie tell Ruth that they needed to move Ambroses’ body to Kings College Hospital to thaw etc before a DNA test could be carried out, when they know we already have tissue samples that belong to Ambrose? In addition to this, we also want these tested independently of the Metropolitan Police, Haringey council and Haringey Mortuary. 

My 2nd issue is why would Beckie advise Ruth to do that when she knows that Ruth want’s to get an independent PM done? Beckie is aware that Ruth cannot do that at the moment, so  if Ruth had agreed to go ahead with the DNA testing just before Christmas, she would have lost any chance of having a PM done independently of the police and Haringey council…

Could I please, encourage you, to share my Youtube videos and blog via FB, Twitter and any other social media network you have an account with.  

We have been struggling to get justice for 3 years and to bring this case to the attention of the wider media and general public, but, we have been blocked at every avenue, by the BBC and the Metropolitan Police to name just a couple of organisations. Re-tweeting and sharing this via social media, in the hope that it goes viral, is our last hope. It only takes a few seconds to do, but it would mean the World to us and, it could make all the difference regarding Ambroses’ case receiving the exposure it deserves. Please don’t do nothing, God forbid, you could find yourself in the same situation, which is something I wouldn’t wish on my worse enemy.

Transcripts Of Meetings Held With The Metropolitan Police, The Monitoring Group and Members Of Ambrose Garfield Gene Balls Family.

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

These are the 3 main meetings we had with the Metropolitan Police and The Monitoring Group.

Image may contain: one or more people and text

Meeting Minutes
16th April 2015 12.30pm Garden Court Chambers

In Attendance:
Met Police Family The Monitoring Group
Detective Superintendant Stuart Hill Ruth Lovell (Toni) Suresh Grover
DI Sharon Freeman Woods Alexandria (Gina) Stafford Scott
DS Barry Macarthy Meghna Vadera
Marcus Jack

Point 4 Clarification – Stewart Hill – I know how important this is – my experience as an investigator – there’s only so much information I can get. No one can help more than the family. We need information such as the full lifestyle of the victim. The intention of the FLO was to secure communication between the investigator and the family.
You will see how we keep coming to dead ends.
Outcomes we would want from this meeting:
1. We would like to open up the dialogue between us and the family.
2. There is only so much we can do without talking to the family – we need to fix this. Victimology Statement – basic investigative lead – this is usual to take this from the family member – we can compare this info with the info we have.
Ruth: I don’t understand why I’m a witness?
Stewart Hill: Victimology Statement is important. The term ‘witness’ I think is being taken the wrong way. It will give us a picture of ABs lifestyle. We need to compare it to what we have and that will give us a true reflection of determining what has happened. Chance of directing the correct investigative lead.
Suresh Grover: So neither he/family are seen as suspects?
Stewart Hill: It’s a letter of law -you are only called a witness because you are giving a statement.
Need more detail in statement which is usually taken by the FLO – due to the breakdown this wasn’t possible. It doesn’t have to be you, it can be anyone in the family that knows about the most about him.
We haven’t closed our minds to one possibility:
1. Potential – gone into river – no third party involvement
2. Disappearance down to third party involvement
3. Deliberate avoidance on his part

We have our personal opinions but we can’t use any of this.
It will be a process of elimination and we can only do this by taking more info from the family.
We are here to reassure you that our investigation has been COMPREHENSIVE.
Things have gone wrong but we will take on board anything you think we should be doing. We need a productive meeting.
We are from Haringey Borough.
If it was being treated as a serious crime it would have been dealt with by a different unit.
Geographic locations:
Fox – Enfield
Accident – Haringey
Missing Persons Report – Colindale/Barnet.

Sharon and myself are bringing all the info together from all branches involved.

Steward Hill: We have asked for two reviews at the moment:
1. From the Critical Advisory Team – they check what we are doing, tell us what we haven’t done.
2. FLO – Asked for review team to come in – as this hasn’t worked. 

Enquiries so far: We haven’t found any evidence of any intentional/ deliberate behaviour of any officer.
If you find anything different to this – you need to give us this information.
Suresh Grover: Yes issues need to be addressed that I think you need to look at.
Stafford Scott: It has been nearly 4 months he has been missing – from the three possibilities you stated before – Is one option stronger that the others?
Stewart Hill: 1. Least likely is deliberate avoidance.
2. Most likely – haven’t documented this – haven’t had a conversation to direct this but I think he has gone into the river. However, we don’t know enough about AB and his relationships with colleagues and friends. We can reassure you that it is comprehensive.
We thought very carefully about this meeting – we decided it was the best way to move this forward.
We need additional information to move this forward. What we have been told is selective – just slows the investigation down. Arnos Grove – 14 minutes after the car crash – he was still alive.
There’s a male in the car – Arnos Grove to the crash point – but we haven’t been able to corroborate his story (For 14 mins after the car crash there’s no evidence of what happened in this period). We have struggled putting him in the car – we have been pushing to this corroborated using CCTV, Phones, AMPR. We are going on objective evidence – first using AMPR – When a vehicle goes through CCTV camera
Then using CCTV with the timeline of relevant events.

Sharon Freeman Woods: Timeline is as follows:
8.02pm – Meridin Way – BMW was picked up
10.00 – 10.45pm – Between this time the BMW is parked at DF address
11.14pm – BMW seen on North Circular heading to Fox

4.23am – Request to recover BMW and take it to the compound to Perivale.

Stafford Scott: What was the location of the crash?
Sharon Freeman Woods: Crash took place on Leeside Road/ Watermead Way, the wheel was embedded in railings. The car then moved a further 500 metres from there on the other side of the road – facing opposite direction to the road.
The driver’s seat is facing east, passengers seat is facing west.
No photos were taken of the car at the scene.
There was no evidence of any foul play at that time.
The police officer just turned up for a Road Traffic Accident.
It is important to state that it was a different area to Fox so it’s not the same officers that would have dealt with this.
The traffic officer checked the details of the car. Registered keeper details came back to the previous owner in Luton. Officers attended the previous lady owner – she said she sold it.
Our primary concern – who’s car it was?
We have made enquiries to find the wheel now. It was handed over to us at Haringey from Barnet on Monday. We were working backwards – and had to catch up for 24 hours.
Barry and Sharon have made enquiries about the wheel. There is a reference number – request was made to collect it. We tried to locate it.

22.46 – Officers attend Ruth’s home address

27th January 2015

11.20 – Sharon and Inspector Grevatt (A specialist inspector) – talked about strategy to search – based on all the information we had.
The three and a half day search included:
1. Two dog units
2. The Marine Search
3. The Pulsa Team

The following was agreed at this 11.20am meeting:
1. 100m circumference – Pulsa Search – For AB clothing or jewellery
2. 300m circumference search around the spot where the jacket was found. The parameters were extended to 500m.
3. A dive team following the flow of water from the jacket to Pymms Brook

We were testing the three hypothesis that we initially laid out.
The maps are shown of the location the crash happened, where the car was found and where the jacket was found.
The jacket was not found in a natural location from the crash site.
We used victim recovery dogs just in case someone was hiding alive.
The water is not that deep however it varies in depth.
Sharon Freeman Woods: He didn’t crash on Sedge Road but it is the nearest junction to where the car crashed.
The crash took place on Leeside Roadwhere the wheel was lodged.
The wheel was found quite far from where the car was found.
A witness account from TL says AB was driving. we have sought to corroborate his story.

Stewart  Hill: The natural route to run from the crash to the jacket – would not be to go over the brambles and bushes. From Marigold Road – across the field – would have been a more natural route.
The search included:
1. Dogs Units
2. Marine Units
3. Fingertips Search
4. Air support Unit – extra layer – to cover the search in extra detail

Stewart Hill: We had taken advice from the Special Search team. If we found any other evidence then the strategy would change e.g. any witness saying they saw anyone running in any particular direction.
There is no witness who saw the crash where the wheel came off OR where the car crashed or anyone fleeing the scene.
In the absence of evidence to guide us which way to look.

Sharon Freeman Woods: In regards to the CCTV:
1. We have the Fox Pub – we have a male we believe to be AB in white trainers.
2. CCTV around the car from AMPR
3. We have put out a witness appeal for a 7 tonne lorry.
4. We have found a likely route he may have taken.
5. We have information from two witnesses who stopped at the scene after the crash. The description of the accent is from the two witnesses.
6. We have a statement from the witness who found the car. He tells them he saw a red Fiesta, a lorry and a saloon car – they recognised them passing by. We are not sure if they saw the car crash.
7. The only account is from this TL – and we have to test his account.

Suresh Grover: Is there any CCTV about TL?

Stewart Hill: No. We have done cell set analysis on TL’s mobile number and ABs mobile location. We know his mobile was there but not him(AB).
Before the road accident we know that AB, than and two others were on CCTV at Dadyals.
Even two witnesses say they were both together.
TL is saying he was with AB and he says that AB was driving.
Stafford Scott: What does TL’s statement say happened after that?
Stewart Hill: Well, AM states the jacket was found on the scene by JW. The jacket is stone cold.
Suresh Grover: I thought the jacket looked dry, clean and even folded? What about the ticket?
Sharon Freeman Woods: There are two accounts about the jacket:
1. JW with another person finds the jacket and finds the bus ticket inside the pocket. He calls AM and gives AM the ticket. Then he said he put the jacket down in the same place he found it.
We know this is DF jacket. He has verified this is his jacket.
On the CCTV – we see DF carrying something DARK out of The Fox. He goes to the car and comes out of the car without a jacket.
Strong evidence – but from the BMW to where it was found. Could have been AB, TL, third party..
The same team went down there to search. The search stays as it is – as there is guidance to any direction.
Suresh Grover: At what point did it get to you?
The reason it was passed to Haringey was because of the crash scene and ABs address. A discussion took place between Barnet and Haringey. haringey decided they were better suited to deal with this.
Suresh Grover: As a Senior investigating Officer Stuart, are there any other possible solutions?
Stewart Hill: Yes. Not just Missing Persons.
I have already requested two reviews which are being conducted which we are still awaiting the results. Yes we have called in Serious Crimes Unit three times. This is one of the reviews. 

We have called in the Assessment team from SCU. We have briefed them, they have reviewed it and have given written advice.
We did this within 24 hours of Haringey taking over. On the Monday missing persons got involved.

Suresh Grover: Can you explain generally your police practice –
There are serious questions that need to be answered after the car crash and his disappearance:
1. being chased out of the pub
2. Questions about the toothbrush?? Jacket??
3. We don’t know what time AB leaves the pub?

Stewart Hill: We can see from CCTV after Fox – AB doesn’t seem threatened at that point.
SCN01 – Serious Crimes Unit. It is good practice to discuss options in the absence of third party evidence.
It is still a high risk Misper Enquiry.
The evidence we had to go on:
1. Fights in the pub
2. police contact with AB

1. The Fox crime Report GBH – victim found at The Fox. he didn’t want to substantiate that allegation. It was clear he was in a fight. The description given did not match ABs description.
Sharon was linked with officers investigating at The Fox.
Another crime report – under Affray – attached to that some people were arrested. JB and two other witnesses were investigated.
The CCTV showed JB as the victim. AB was not linked to any of this by name or description.
2. There is nothing on our system which flags up. There is no record of AB having any contact with police. We don’t see any police officers approaching him on CCTV.
AM has been arrested several times during this investigation. He admitted he planted the toothbrush. He hasn’t given us an account of why he did that.
Ruth: CCTV at 1.51 showing someone getting into the car – doesn’t look like him – I don’t think that is AB.
The Albanian guy in Dadyals – AB has done dealings with him – the fat guy with the moustache.
Sharon Freeman Woods: We have no Albanian witnesses.

Additional information given to us during the meeting which was held on the 16th April 2015. These minutes have been taken from the recording Ruth made at that meeting.

Ruth: CCTV I request to see 5 mins of either side of each clip.

Stewart Hill: Officers have identified what is relevant and what is not relevant. You can see what you want, but as an investigation we have taken the relevant parts.

2.55.57 – AB walks back into the shop. TL walks in with a rucksack. 5 males are gathered talking and buying beer. AB is at the till.

2.58.04 – AB walks out of the shop.

Ruth: Asks about the outside footage. CCTV across the road. AB at Dadyals does not look as if he has been in any fight. He is happy and joking around. If he was in a fight he would have come home. I can see he is not drunk at this point. TL walks out behind him and is the last person in the car. He has no injuries and he has a rucksack on, how is that possible? You are just showing us the same thing as last time. What we want to see they are not showing us. You can see him coming out of the pub to the BMW.  You just assume its AB. We are not sure.

Alexandria: Sharon has quoted in the media that AB has got into the car.

Ruth: I want to see him clearly exiting the pub.

Ruth /Alexandria: We were told that the CCTV in Dadyals was not working at that time.

Stewart Hill: We need to know this information if its contradictory to what we have, then we can investigate. We get a statement from them when we recover the CCTV. We also have a statement from Dadyals saying that they saw a BMW parked outside and they heard a conversation about the BMW between AB and TL.

Car Accident:

⦁ Vehicle was identified by a witness.
⦁ CCTV shows the roads are very quiet, picks up a black car and then another car speeds through.
⦁ Statement has been taken from 71/2 tonne lorry driver
⦁ 2 witnesses who saw the car and no one inside. These two witnesses state that there were 3 vehicles passing the scene.
⦁ TL claimed that neither himself or AB were injured

Sharon Freeman Woods: Yes the wheel was off.

Stewart Hill: TL said he had no injury. Post-mortem results show no injury was found and no broken bones. This is subject to a CT scan. Drivers-side door air-bags had been deployed.

Suresh Grover: Where did TL say AB went?

Stewart Hill: Due to the impact of the vehicle, TL said he gets out of the car, while AB carries on in the car on his own.

Sharon Freeman Woods: TL says they are not friends. The second crash happened 50 yards away from the first crash.

Stewart Hill: We are not saying we believe him. This is what the witness is telling us.

Chris: After the crash, why would AB go towards the marshes?

Stewart Hill: He was wanted. He was probably drinking and on drugs. He had no insurance, would he evade a arrest?

Chris: It doesn’t make sense where he was found if he went in the river. There is a grey gate (locked by tenants) there is no way his body could get down to the river through the 3 locked gates. In January when I have been walking out there I remember the shore line wasn’t too high.

Stewart Hill: We need to test that. We will take that on. We need to ask the experts. Its not up to us what we believe. We have to just show the facts. There are no witnesses or evidence that discounts what he is telling us. We just have to continue to test.

Chris: There is no way AB would have crashed and left his phones. We believe TL drove the car from Dadyals. AM told TL who first told us that they had an accident in the Fox Car park, now we are told the car was not parked in the car park.

Post-Mortem:

Stewart Hill: The post-mortem which was carried out on Friday 24th April was inconclusive. There was no over indication of any obvious 3rd party involvement.
1) There is no physical injury, no stab wounds, which were obvious to the pathologist. However the body has been sent to the Royal London Hospital for a CT scan to do a full x-ray of the body. We expect the results back today but have had no update as of yet. We will let you know by tomorrow or Thursday.
2) No signs of drowning, there is no water in his lungs however when you hit freezing water the shock can result in your larynx closing which can cause death with no water in the lungs.
3) A sample has been taken from the liver and the lungs. Its called Diatoms which have been sent to the Natural History Museum. This will be used to determine how long he was in the water for.
4) His post examination is on Friday and there is still a lot more to come. We will inform you as soon as we have an update.

Ruth: We want to do an independent post-mortem.

Stewart Hill: It is not up to us. It is the Coroner’s decision. I can raise this with him on Thursday. His clothing was taken, it has been removed packaged and stored. We need to keep it, it may be relevant to do further tests. The clothing may become more relevant at a later stage.

I am not a scientist. My role is just to make that assessment, until the Pathologist has given me the results I have to test the information I have been given.

Ambrose’s Grand-Father: Why was it not put in the media straight-way? Why was there no call for witnesses and any information?

Ruth: You still did not put it in the paper. All false information was given to media. I told Sharon all the info re where the crash happened.

Alexandria: You have been quoted in the paper Sharon.

Stewart Hill: The CT scan will show any injury to the body which may lead to evidence of 3rd party involvement. If no injury is found it will stay the same being no 3rd party involvement.

Stewart Hill: you’ve obviously been doing your own investigations.

Ruth: For 3 months you weren’t listening to us. We have been telling you.

Stewart Hill: We can assure you it has been in the media.

Chris: I asked him why it hasn’t been in the media as Ruth has said she would do it.

Stewart Hill: We send the information to the media department they canvass it out to all the newspapers and journalists.

Alexandria: Yes but Sharon Freeman Woods has been quoted in the paper giving the wrong information. She has stated the wrong location and says that Sedge Road is where the collision took place. The collision was on Leeside Road and the car was found near Sedge Road.

Ruth: He’s been lying in the river for 3 months. You could have found him.

Alexandria: They covered 500 meter radius. Had you searched using the marine search like you said you would, you would have found him.

Ruth: Witnesses, Gina and I have all been trying to contact Barry with no response.

Chris: You had Ruth for 3 days at the marshes, we were saying that river needs to be searched and that was where he was found.

Sharon Freeman Woods: 500 meters around the jacket was searched.

Chris: Ruth waited for 3 hours that day.

Stafford Scott: Please find out what happened there and why. This is unacceptable policing.

Stewart Hill: Sure.

Stafford Scott: A lot of mis-trust comes from how the family was treated. If mistakes were made you should say in hindsight we could have done this better.

Stewart Hill: Our offer was there to come around. Our instruction was to contact Gina first., which is what I did. I contacted Gina first and then Suresh. My instruction was to pick up Gina and take her to Ruth’s.

Even though the body was not identified yet, I needed to tell you first.

Ruth: It was out in the media about the body being found, before we identified him.

Stewart Hill: No

Alexandria: We didn’t ID him until Friday. The media went out on Wednesday.

Stewart Hill: The press was contacted after Gina was told the body had been found. I told the press the facts, just that a body was found and not that it was AB.

Stafford Scott: I spoke to Victor O’Lisa he was told under strict instructions to call Gina first before contacting Suresh.

Stewart Hill: I’m trying to do the best for you. I have made myself available.

Ambrose’s Grand-Father: The way you have treated them is troubling. How can you not understand how someone feels if their son is missing. No one took any interest.

Stewart Hill: Yes they did – hours were spent on investigation statements taken.

Ruth: You haven’t approached or spoken to any of the security guards.

Stewart Hill: A couple of them are not making themselves available. They are avoiding us as some had no licence to bouncer that night. It is on our action list. We have already got a statement from JD, we have been trying but they are not available.

Chris: This has happened since the beginning. No one has cone to see her face to face. Ruth has been frustrated with the lack of information you were giving. You said you were taking the FLO off and giving us an independent one.

Stewart Hill: I am accepting what you are saying – it hasn’t worked. We need to communicate, if I don’t know this information i can’t carry out my investigations.

Chris: If you had done what Victor had said and given us a new team, the fact that Sharon Freeman is still on the team and Ruth didn’t trust her.

Sharon Freeman Woods: The FLO was at Ruth’s request.

Ruth: Nope, I didn’t want the police

Chris: If the FLO can’t take what was being said there then that person shouldn’t be in the job in the first place.

Stewart Hill: The FLO didn’t work out. Ruth didn’t want a police officer.

Ruth: Her name was DC Leah Whitby, I knew she was a police officer even though she said she was independent. I have her on a recording saying this.

Stafford Scott: The use of the word independent means she was not an officer.

Stewart Hill: If she did say that and you have it recorded, I need to know this, I just need to know what has happened.

Alexandria: Why was Bobby involved?

Stewart Hill: It was my decision, he was a community worker. I wanted to try and recover the broken communications with the family. We seized this opportunity when Suresh called to try and communicate and fix relations.

Suresh Grover: 1. Media Coverage – due to him being black it may have not been covered;

2. The Mother and Family were searching for her son and the police weren’t believing Ruth (mother).

3. FLO – I have never heard of an independent FLO. I can understand her false sense of who this was and loss of trust.

4. The family were totally desperate, they used Facebook and were searching for him themselves which is concerning.

5. Due to the decomposition of the body we may not get a proper post-mortem. The Pathologist are all accredited.

6. Important CCTV, 24th January, Dadyals. We need to know at what time AB leaves the pub?

Suresh Grover: We are now at the point that we can’t collect evidence ourselves without the police involved and we need to test this evidence. Even if we have mis-trust in the police there are two ways of collecting evidence. 1. Police and 2. Medical  Evidence. For it to be admissible evidence only the police can collect it, to be able for it to be used in court. Alarm bells and questions are all being asked which we need answers for. Simultaneously we need to find out what happened to AB.

Stafford Scott: The question Ruth asked you, why should she trust you? I think you need to explain to ensure that we can move forward.

Stewart Hill: The fact that we are here today, for example how we are trying to answer all the questions you may have. We will try and answer them all but some answers we don’t know. Some I will be able to. I have not come across one piece of evidence to suggest that someone deliberately tried to compromise this investigation. I would know and I would deal with it, it would be found out later on, so I’m on top of it. There has been no deliberate act.

Would the Met have dealt with it differently?

1. Yes I would, I accept the response that Ruth got was not appropriate
2. I accept that FLO relationship breakdown was our fault

Ruth: If you had listened you may have found him earlier.

Stewart Hill: Not sure. We are not half way there yet

Ruth: I called them and asked them to help for 3 days.

Stafford Scott: What about an apology?

Stewart Hill: I’m here now to do that. This is the reason for this. Barry and I were only trying to convince Ruth and Gina not to see the body as after 29 years of experience..

Chris: If there were no suspicious circumstances why are people on Facebook being threatened if they don’t shut-up. There are death threats being made that we will be killed. The police are aware of this, Police have visited them at home. We have a CAD reference.

Stewart Hill: We will follow up on that Chris.

Stafford Scott: So the next steps are:

1. We need to get them legal support for Thursday.  The Coroner’s Officer is Becky Smith and to address all enquiries through her.  She will liaise with the Coroner.

2. We need to decide now when we get the information who and how you would like us to go through, so it should all go through Suresh.

3. AB’s belongings – so you told them they can pick up the clothes in February, they have and email from a senior officer.

Stewart Hill: That would have been me.

Suresh Grover: The property from his car, AM and all personal property have all been logged. We need to make arrangements about when and how we can get it back.

Stewart Hill: I need to keep hold of the property, it can be given back however I want to keep hold of it. After the post-mortem if there needs to be further investigation, if I hand it back we will lose the forensics. I need it to be a continual investigation.

Suresh Grover: Yes alarm bells were going off, I was wondering about the continuity when I saw the email.

Ruth & Alexandria: We still have two black bags of clothing, which were dropped to us 10 days after AB’s disappearance.

Stewart Hill: Let me get the results of the post-mortem, then I will know.

Stafford Scott: We found it strange that AM was giving the clothes to the family.

Suresh Grover: Was AM arrested about the toothbrush?

2. All the people with AB that day/ is it believable professionally, what they are saying? For an example AM giving the wrong toothbrush.

Stewart Hill: If we have doubts we will question and challenge. Its only about the facts and not what I believe and so I can’t say.

The police have spoken to AM 3 times and TL 3 times.

Ruth: AM has been trying to get my address to see me.

Suresh Grover: Are there any potential lines of enquiry open from the witness statements and if so how many?

Sharon Freeman Woods: Yes we have about 25 open lines of enquiry. For example we are trying to verify who Ibs is. We are looking at everything and we are testing everything we are being told.

Ambrose’s Grand-Father: We need to get the trust back. We need to be told you are going to help us as much as possible.

Ruth: Why haven’t you acted on the false toothbrush?

Alexandria: There have been 3 incidents, 26 January – real toothbrush and real DNA.

Ruth: You left it out of the timeline last week. You didn’t say this on it.

Sharon Freeman Woods: We have made sure to search his flat and test what he has been saying and he has been questioned.

Chris: TL was placed at High Road Park Lane at 3.23am. 3 calls were made at 3.06, 3.09 and 3.12am. How did he manage to go back to the car and get his cigarettes and then get to the High Road in Park Lane by 323am?

Sharon Freeman Woods: His phone was cell cited at that time. I am only going on what he is telling me. AB carries on further down the road, doesn’t see the car coming to a standstill. He says there was nobody in the car and he doesn’t look for him. He said he didn’t see anyone getting out of the car.

Chris: I don’t think AB was in the car.

Sharon Freeman Woods: TL says its a distance of a football pitch, between one crash and another.

Stafford Scott: All these questions, we can put them to the Officers after the post-mortem.

Stewart Hill: We want a statement from a family member, we still need a victimology. In addition to that, I want to know what you really think.

Ruth: I believe 2 officers have taken AB from the pub.

Chris: We were told the CCTV didn’t work. You need to find out about that which will prove … There were 3 witnesses saying they were there at the time as well.

Stewart Hill: We will confirm the date of the CCTV at Dadyals.

Sharon Freeman Woods: We need the details of who has told you the CCTV was not working.

Stewart Hill: Don’t think we believe what TL is telling us. He can tell us what he wants. Your probably right Chris, he probably did see AB get out of the car after the accident.

Stewart Hill: ACTION – Make an arrangement to get the statement from the family.

Sharon Freeman Woods: ACTIONI want the details of Ibs. Does AM know Ibs?

Ruth: You need to ask AM.

Sharon Freeman Woods: If the family know please try to provide this.

Stafford Scott: After the inquest / post-mortem we may need to meet again, at least for the CT scan by the end of the week. Inquest is at 9am on Thursday. All communications should go through SG, including post-mortem and CT scan etc.

Forensics?
New information – further examination of the car?
Hypothesis – police are working from:
1. Third party involvement
2. Unexplained death

Decision Logs/family liaison documents – Is there anything significant?
We would like to view these documents if possible?
24th August 2015 – Inquest Date set.

Victor Olisa – I apologise that we are in this position, that the trust has broken down and you have questions about the sincerity of our investigations. I can assure you we have used all the resources available to us. After the body was found – we have tried to widen our enquiries to see if there is any third party involvement.
I need to reiterate that we have been taking it seriously. He is the most senior detective in the borough – it is a complex investigation and Stuart Hill has the experience. He has a high level of sincerity and is professional.
There have been a number of reviews given to specialists outside the borough. There is a review of response – post the body being found.
IPCC have done their own external scrutiny – due to the ongoing investigations they couldn’t get involved and have passed it onto the DPS.

Ruth: I went to the IPCC about the way I was treated – not AB missing but the way they disregarded me.

Victor O’lisa: The Critical Incident Team did another review. I will give you the documents of all the reviews.
Stewart Hill: If you weren’t satisfied with the CCTV – we are more than willing for you to come in and and view the 50 hours of CCTV. We can facilitate this.
Victor O’lisa: We will give you this information.
Suresh Grover: But in summary – verbally and a bit more about how you have treated it as a suspicious death.
Lines of Enquiry – If it is a suspicious death, this is new information – you need to explain
Stewart Hill: It’s not a suspicious death. It’s an unexplained death. We are still waiting for results from the pathologist and toxicology reports. The diatoms results came back inconclusive and more likely to be the result of drowning.

Caveat in his report but we still need some questions answered.
Ruth Lovell: I have been told that the face in the water is the last thing to go but if it is on land the face is the first thing to go. But ABs face was the only thing to go.
Stewart Hill: Got letter from David Lammy – more detail to questions that are being asked – reply Tues next week.
Stewart Hill: We have spoken to TL (spent a whole day with him). There is nothing that has differed from his original statement. It is evident he has some learning difficulties. All the telephone enquiries check out. Cell analysis has been done we are waiting for the report.
TL said he did contact someone after the accident. That person – we haven’t spoken to them. He wasn’t a friend of AB. Other individuals he has spoken to – we will find out over the next couple of days.
Ruth: I think it was DC- he was there.
Stewart Hill: TL left the car and goes back to the car and collects his stuff. He leaves and calls someone. We need to corroborate what he is saying.
1. The watch that AB is wearing – it is going to the specialists tomorrow – it stopped at 12.40 as he went into the water
2. A weather report has been requested. This is from the Environmental Agency. The current was not strong at that time. I am waiting for a report on this.
3. Cell set analysis – We are waiting for an analyst to put all the data together into a readable format. It’s a step by step process and the data coming through. We have a specialist working on this.
4. Diatoms Results – I’ll give you a copy – its inconclusive at the moment.
5. Toxicology Results – They are due back on 12th June – tomorrow
6. Histology Results – We are waiting for the results – haven’t got a timeline – need to chase it – this takes the longest. Then they can make an accurate assessment.
7. CCTV – Offer is there to view it in its entirety.

Alexandria: The CCTV list only includes 3(The Fox, Dadyals and …)There are 11 CCTVs. It can’t be that you have only picked him up on 3 CCTVs from 8.02pm to 3am.
Stewart Hill: TL confirms he was driving at speed.
Stewart Hill: No suspects – unexplained death. We can’t prove third party involvement – either way.
Stafford Scott: What is the criteria – in order for it to be treated as suspicious.
Stewart Hill: Intelligence/ evidence to prove third party involvement.
Ruth: Cant tests prove the jacket was there for hours? Why haven’t you gone down the lines of inquiry.
Stewart Hill: 8. We have been to Dadyals – Confirmed CCTV was working. This would confirm he was there. Another witness has come forward stating he knows AB and that he was there. Barry and Michael are witnesses.
Stewart Hill: You need to give us the contradictory information.
Ruth: We are not telling you because of the way you sent five officers to see someone in the gym. We are not telling Barry MaCarthy anything because of the way these people are getting treated.
Stafford Scott: The family has lost confidence – I think it is unfair to ask them to tell you this information.
Stewart Hill: There are a few lines of enquiry then we have nowhere else to go. We need to speak to the individuals if there is contrary evidence.
Stafford Scott: Tell us where you are going and what have you done.
Stewart Hill: 9. The car key has been tested and the car key fob is on its own there were no other keys(no house keys). We have found a bundle of cash on him.
10. We have a witness – a guy on the river boat – but he has picked a different location.
Actions have been taken to remove debris. We are waiting for the results on this.
We have a witness who heard the accident.
The local authority attended a different location – I am waiting for them to get back to me.
11. There are local environment officers testing the water.
12. The information from the coroner
AB goes missing on 24th January 2015
AB body is found on 22nd April 2015
The information has come from someone who is not attached to the investigation. It was the police patrol officer. The information has been directly given to the coroner. They typed up the paragraph which was used for the CT scan. The coroner has used this to open up his case file – we have now changed it as the information was wrong.
Stafford Scott: The patrol officer should have been given the correct information. Maybe you need to review that process. The minute he thought it could have been AB – It should have been the team that was dealing with it to contact the coroner – due to the distress it causes the family.
Stewart Hill: The initial call made to the coroner’s office had the correct details but we are learning from this. All the briefings given to the Coroner officer are different to that paragraph.
Stewart Hill: We weren’t aware about the incorrect information as it was never disclosed to us.
Ruth: Yes we have the paragraph – yes it is different.
Suresh Grover:We need to get 2 things sorted. The pathologist report – waiting for results
Request to view the CCTV
Further witness that TL spoke to
What about Ibs?
Stewart Hill: Yes we need to still talk to him.
Suresh Grover: Are there any further lines of enquiry? How does he get from the car to where his body was found.
Stewart Hill: We are not sure. We are using searches, CCTV, weather report, depth/flow of water from environmental agency which may assist how far he has travelled.
Suresh Grover: So we still don’t know where he enters the river.
Stewart Hill: I don’t know.
Suresh Grover: To treat it as suspicious – is there any circumstantial evidence of how AB ends up there.
Stewart Hill: There is no intelligence to confirm there is any third party involvement.
Suresh Grover: What are the parameters of your line of enquiry?
Stewart Hill: I can’t disclose this.

Suresh Grover: How can you discount – why it is not being treated as suspicious?
Victor O’lisa: We have to  go on what we have – we are trying to give you as much information as possible. When the information comes in about the second accident. We need some intelligence to move us from an Unexplained death to a suspicious death. Then we could use this information as evidence.
Suresh Grover: From when AB was reported missing. It moved from medium to high after the jacket was found. Shouldn’t that create more lines of enquiry. The parameters of the search – the body was discovered just beyond this. The family were shouting about this. What are you doing apart from this? What about forensics from the car? I mean some of the information that has not been verified from the other witness – creates even more suspicion.
Stewart Hill: The car went to Perivale.
Alexandria: No, it went to C&S first then to Perivale. It was booked in as waiting for forensics and further investigations. This was at 4.05 on 24th January.
Stewart Hill: The car came a few days afterwards.
Suresh Grover: It said on the email that the car was clean(can’t get any forensics) – isn’t that suspicious? That there was no sign of AB/TL?
Stafford Scott: What does that mean – forensics – 1. Nothing at all or 2. Or just that there was no injury
Stewart Hill: Need to find out the date and time the forensics were carried out.
Chris: These things should have surely been looked into.
Stewart Hill: I don’t have the forensics report.
Victor O’lisa: Let’s get you the reports first. It is impossible for someone to wipe the whole car clean. We are trying to track all movements of the car.
Ruth Lovell: The wheel and number plate were both left at the scene.
Victor O’lisa: Have we followed a logical series of events. We need to go through all the information and what the review teams have gone through.
We can’t answer you here it wouldn’t be strictly accurate. Then we should be able to see where the gaps are.
Stafford Scott: You need to apologise to this family for the amount of upset and distress you have caused. A proper apology should be given – so we can build up the trust and respect.
Victor O’lisa: In regards to the second accident – the new information comes along and our desire was to keep you up to date. We gave the information sooner than we should have – it wasn’t verified it was our mistake. We will learn from that – in hindsight we apologise for that.
Apologise for creating that anxiety. At the early stages trying to give as much information as possible. The family are victims – it is not our intention to put officers which lead to a clash. We remove them if there is a clash. In early stages it obviously didn’t work – I had to get people in who have the skills i.e. Stewart Hill. That’s the level of interest I have put into this.
Chris: Two Questions:
1. You said the next thing to do – is to get it in the media – why are they not INVOLVED? – The public wouldn’t have heard who AB was.
2. Also on 24th January Ruth said she heard her son. You said you would look into these people – you never did. You said they will arrive in one hour but they didn’t turn up.
Ruth: You have stated the wrong information for the crash – it’s not Sedge Road – there will be no witnesses if it is the wrong location.

Alexandria: When AB was missing – you said until we have the body. Now that we have the body – why have we not moved forward but it is still unexplained.
Victor O’lisa: Until I have information to prove he is dead – I can’t say that until we had found his body.

Ruth: You ignored me and left me in the freezing cold for 3 days.
Victor O’lisa: No we didn’t.
Stafford Scott: This is how Ruth feels. How do we move forward?
Stewart Hill: 1. Documentation and the accurate information to be shared and the independent reviews.
Stafford Scott: Documentation needs to be sent to the solicitor – Christina.
Stewart Hill: CCTV can be viewed at the police station – part of the 50 hours. National Grid Tottenham Sub Station.
Ruth: When can we come in and see it?
Stewart Hill: We can definitely organise and facilitate this.
Ruth: I still feel I have no confidence even after hearing this. We have to do the work. Your investigations have not been great and you haven’t done much unless we give you the information.
Stafford Scott: Please just do what is necessary to get the families trust and confidence back otherwise we will not get anywhere.
Chris: Since ABs body has been found – we have been given no new information. We are on your side and we need your help – there have been no calls, no communications.
Stewart Hill: I haven’t got a problem updating you on a consistent basis.
I’m not giving you false hope – not intentionally.
I was going to tell you information which may not be verified – even when we found ABs body. I apologise for giving you the wrong information. We are always learning – everyone is different.
Suresh Grover: What needs to happen:
1. The substance of the inquiry needs to be open and transparent.
2. What happens after his body is found. When you use words such as ‘Unexplained’ and ‘Not suspicious’
3. You just need to recognise that the trust has broken down.
4. What are the key parameters?

Stafford Scott: Get an independent review and we can work from that. We will be able to see clearly what investigations have and should have been done.

Suresh Grover: There is limited capacity – the family aren’t here to be learning from – more demonstrating what has been done – so it is irrefutable.
Stewart Hill: Who should we contact?
Ruth: I don’t care.
Stafford Scott: Lets agree now – all contact should be through Christina. The legal stuff and Inquest information to go through family solicitor Christina.
Stewart Hill: If there are any developments I will make myself available.

Below are a number of transcripts which relates to other information/conversations that have taken part between the Metropolitan Police, The Monitoring Group, Perivale Police car pound, C and S and more …

Could I please, encourage you, to share my Youtube videos and blog via FB, Twitter and any other social media network you have an account with.  

We have been struggling to get justice for 3 years and to bring this case to the attention of the wider media and general public, but, we have been blocked at every avenue, by the BBC and the Metropolitan Police to name just a couple of organisations. Re-tweeting and sharing this via social media, in the hope that it goes viral, is our last hope. It only takes a few seconds to do, but it would mean the World to us and, it could make all the difference regarding Ambroses’ case receiving the exposure it deserves. Please don’t do nothing, God forbid, you could find yourself in the same situation, which is something I wouldn’t wish on my worse enemy.

Who was Ambrose Garfield Gene Ball?

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

***If you have problems reading/viewing any of the images, please right click to open in a new tab***

Below is a photograph of Ambrose, which was edited with the image of Bob Marley and the words ‘What is in the dark will come to light’. This picture has become my all time favourite edited photograph of Ambrose and, it was done by someone who was a supporter of Ambroses’ various pages for a very long time, but suddenly disappeared. People such as this man, will never be forgotten for all the help, support and encouragement they gave to Ruth and I along the way. I will refrain from mentioning his name, as I don’t know whether he would like to be known publicly. But what I will say is thank you and we miss you !!!

bobmarley and ambrose

Wow what a question, Who was Ambrose Garfield Gene Ball?

Of course this will be impossible to sum up in one page on a blog, but I will guarantee to do my best to explain who Ambrose was, rather than the opinion the Metropolitan police wanted the public to know.

When Ruth discovered she was pregnant,  she was awaiting trial for the offence of malicious wounding with intent. This occurred when Ruth was 17 and living on the streets.  The attacker was a pimp who had previously raped Ruth and tried to get her on the game.  He later found her at a club and approached her.  After refusing to go off with this man, this man proceeded to violently attack her. This attack included dragging her down the street by her hair, which  had caused her hair to be pulled out by the roots. As he was dragging her by the hair, she grabbed a knife which she carried for self protection, in a leather holder, and hit out at the man blindly, striking him in the process. This caused a serious injury. Ruth was arrested and charged with malicious wounding with intent, even though this was done in self defence. Ruth was sentenced to 2 years in prison, although she served just over a year. 

When Ruth went to prison she was already pregnant with Ambrose and although this was a tremendous shock for her, she was over the moon. She couldn’t wait for the baby to arrive, and he did, within a year of our younger brother Garys’ death. Ruth was allowed out of prison to give birth to Ambrose, but once they were both given a clean bill of health, they both returned.

In a tribute to Gary, when Ambrose was born, he was given the name of our brother Gary, whose full name was Ambrose Garfield and her best friend whose name was Jean, hence the name Ambrose Garfield Gene Ball.

Here is a beautiful video of Ambrose, his Mother and Brothers…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eNN_whcMY0&feature=share

Below are a trio of photographs of Ambrose. The one in the centre was taken while they were still in Style Prison, Manchester …

Ruth was released from prison after about 18 months and her life, as a Mother began. As a child who had been subjected to an enormous amount of physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse, this road was not easy.  However, Ruth did the best she could, given he circumstances she had come from and the situation she then found herself and her first born Son in. 

The birth of Ambrose gave Ruth a reason to live. From the moment Ambrose was born they had a bond so strong, that nothing, no matter how bad things got, could break it.  Yes, of course they went through the ups and downs most families do, when faced with similar circumstances, but they always got through them, no matter how hard the struggle was.

Does Ruth have any regrets regarding her parenting skills? of course she does, like all of us. None of us are perfect and most of us are far from it, myself included.  However, that doesn’t mean we don’t care or we are not trying.  It just means ‘We are doing the best we can under the present circumstances and, although I know it’s not good enough, it’s the best I can do right now’. That is all we can EVER ask of anyone ”To do the best they can’…

Ruth really does love Ambrose more than life itself, as she does her other 2 Sons’. Ambrose was like a husband in many ways, and not in a perverted way either, before the ‘moronics of the internet’ decide to turn that comment into something disgusting. I mean it in the sense that he really cared about his Mother, the same way she did for him. They had an understanding and a closeness, very few people could understand and in some cases could even see.  Ambrose always contacted his Mother to make sure she was alright and to see if she needed anything. He was always the one who would break bad news i.e. he was tasked with having to tell her, of our oldest brothers death, less than a year before Ambrose was killed.  He was her shoulder to cry/lean on and someone she confided in about everything and anything. He was one of the few people she actually trusted on this Earth.  And most importantly they really loved and cared for each other equally. By taking away Ambrose, they have taken away a third of Ruth heart.

I am not saying Ambrose was an angel, of course I’m not , as no one is, are they? But, what I will say is that he was a good man, who always did the best for his family and worked hard for a living. He was like the majority of young men his age, not the minority and by that I mean the following…

When Ambrose went out with his friends he enjoyed a drink and they would occasionally take cocaine. Like many people, there would be occasions when Ambrose would over indulge in these substances, and he could become hotheaded if somebody approached him looking for trouble. Ambrose was not someone who would walk away from a situation, he would face it head on, much like his Mother. Aside from that, there are no hidden skeletons, as his Mother Ruth has been completely truthful about everything, including the ugly issues. 

In addition to being a fantastic Son, Ambrose was also a caring brother to his 2 younger siblings Jonathan and James. Below are a few photographs of Ambrose with his brothers and Mother in their younger days…

The photograph of Ambrose below was taken when he was at school. He really did have a beautiful smile…

grin

Below are photographs of Ambrose and  his 2 children. His children meant the World to Ambrose, as they do to their Mother.  When the Mother and Ambrose separated it was very had on both of them, but especially the children. However, because Ambrose and the Mother were able to remain friendly and adult about the situation, the impact on the children was limited, as much as humanly possible. Once they became separated, Ambrose visited whenever he was able to, which was almost every weekend, including special celebrations etc. He also made a point of phoning every night to say goodnight to the children. The relationship between the 2 parents stayed relatively healthy throughout this period. They had been separated for less than a year when Ambrose was murdered and, it has been extremely hard for all of those who loved Ambrose, to come to terms with his disappearance and untimely death. 

Ambroses’ 2 children, lost their Father at a young age. This is such a tragic experience/loss for any young child, but more so, when the truth is unknown and, so much is unknown in this case. THEY are the main reason the truth has to be told. Ambroses’ Mother and the rest of the family, need the truth we have been demanding for the  last 3 years, so we can at least try to start grieving. Imagine if this was your children and their Father, what would you do?

In addition to being a loving and caring Father, Ambrose was also a hard worker.  He worked whenever and wherever he could to provide for his family. He was a car sprayer and worked on car bodies by profession. He worked in a number of settings, including (for a short period of time), his own small garage. Below shows him teaching his children the the trade he knew so well.  This is something he really enjoyed doing with them and something they really enjoyed learning …

Two of the photographs below were taken as we celebrated Christmas at my home, along with other members of our extended family.  In the first photograph Ambrose is with our father and my eldest Son. The second photograph was taken the same day, but shows Ambrose singing and dancing in the kitchen. The 3rd one was taken when with our father when Ambrose was a baby …

The photograph below was taken beside Ambroses ex partner, a few years before they separated.  She has been removed from the photograph, for reasons of privacy. As you can see, Ambrose looks in love and very happy :0)

ambrose

Below is one of the last known photographs, taken of Ambrose. This is a real resemblance to what Ambrose looked like on the 24th January 2015, not the photograph that the Metropolitan Police were circulating.  

one of the last photographs of ambrose

The loss of Ambrose has had a devastating effect on a number of people, but especially his Mother Ruth.  Within minutes of being informed of the ‘accident’ she KNEW something wasn’t right. From that day till this, her life has never been the same, as you will have gathered from this blog and her emails. Ruths’ goal since the 24th January 2015 at approximately 08:00 a.m. to this day, has been to find out what happened to her first born Son Ambrose. She is no different from any other Mother in that respect, I would do the same, wouldn’t you?

Being beside someone you love, who is in so much pain, is heart breaking to watch and live with.  There is nothing one can do to bring comfort in such a situation, except to observe and try to ensure that Ruth doesn’t do anything dangerous to herself. I hope and pray that once the truth has been exposed, we will all be able to relax a little more and start to breathe with ease…

What we have been put through by the Metropolitan Police, The I.P.C.C. the BBC, Clare Johns, some MP’s, Stafford Scott and internet Trolls, has been horrendous, and something I would never wish on my own worse enemy.  All the establishments/people I have just mentioned, have tried everything in their power to stop the facts surrounding Ambroses’ case, becoming public knowledge.  We have been portrayed as something we are not via the BBC, Clare Johns, the Metropolitan Police, the press, Stafford Scott, The Monitoring Group (we do not include Suresh Grover in that statement) and internet Trolls. 

We have had our voices ignored over very serious matters for almost 3 years.  Although the bulk of the MP’s were very good at sending emails, they were no good at going/getting further than that.  This unfortunately, did nothing to help us get the answers we have been after for almost 3 years.  David Lammy also went as far as going along with a programme which was produced by the BBC and hid the facts  surrounding Ambroses’ case, against our wishes.

It only takes a few seconds to do, but it would mean the World to us and, it could make all the difference regarding Ambroses’ case receiving the exposure it deserves. Please don’t do nothing, God forbid, you could find yourself in the same situation, which is something I wouldn’t wish on my worse enemy.

NPASLondon and MPSinthesky tweets…

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

****To view the tweets easier, open  them in a new tab **** 

These are  the FIRST tweets that went out in regards to the air search that took place,  following the car crash that Ambrose’s BMW was said to have been involved in. As you can see the details on the first one are 7:46 p.m. on the 23rd January 2015. I screen  shot this in June 2015, as you can tell by the date on  the screen shot…

At the inquest this  turned into quite an issue, as you can read below…

hel

io

These are also some of the tweets that were tweeted on the NPASLondon mobile twitter account. As you can see by the incidents tweeted on the 24th, there is no mention of the air search that apparently took place in relation to Ambrose’s search, again these show the ASU did their search on the 23rd January, and NOT the 24th..

Alexandria Harrison “Right you’ve stated numerous times that the ASU search, team, was searching for Ambrose at 03:40 a.m. on the 24th, um can you tell us where you got that information from?”

Sharon Freeman Woods “We got that information from the um flight officer. We got”

Alexandria Harrison “Who is?”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Um, no ********* was the assistant, in”

Alexandria Harrison “(inaudible) the list we got last week”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Well let me answer your question.”

Alexandria Harrison “Alright.”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Okay. So you have the pilot, Um and you have ******** who’s the PC, who’s the assistant, in the ASU. So we know that they did a, that they did a flight, a 360% degrees flight around that accident on the 24th. Now to answer your query about the tweet, it is as simple as this. You’re stating that the tweet says the 23rd, I didn’t know this, but I did some research, following your concerns that were flagged to the officers who were doing the CCTV viewing and Twitter originates from San Francisco, do you know that?”

Sharon Freeman Woods “So you know it’s 7 hour behind?”

Ruth Lovell “Yes we do”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Okay.   When you flagged up that, we sent a message to our media Directorate to also test what you’re saying.  When they did the search, it actually flagged up on the 24th at the right time.  So it depends, when you click on that tweet you’re referring to, it comes up with different times.  Now there’s a, the explanation is that if it’s, if it’s  tweeted in San Francisco it’s gonna flag up on the 23rd Just double click on it and it’ll show the right date, it is actually the 24th

Alexandria Harrison “So shouldn’t that happen with all tweets which are tweeted in England, not just, rather than just the MPS?”

Sharon Freeman Woods “I have, I have, MPS don’t control Twitter

Alexandria Harrison “Well it certainly doesn’t happen when I tweet my tweets, they get tweeted at the time they’re tweeted”

Sharon Freeman Woods “The MPS do not control Twitter”

Alexandria Harrison “Alright. Can you look at this (inaudible) the flight attendant”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Yeah”

AW “The difficulty is the flight log sheet”

This is the flight log …

log-001

kip

Alexandria Harrison “That’s what we want to show”

Ruth Lovell “That’s what we’re showing”

AW “Contains the date of the 23rd January 2015. It shows the aircraft taking off at 03:03 and landing at 03:45, um but that would be the day before that”

Sharon Freeman Woods “That’s when he’s on duty”

Alexandria Harrison “No he’s given the information and the details of the flight, it says the date is the 23 and the time is 03:45”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Yeah if you read, if you read his statement, he came, he came”

Alexandria Harrison “No the pilot, we’re talking about the pilot here, that’s the pilot, not the person who turned up. The pilot didn’t come, he didn’t come, ****** didn’t come, it’s the other bloke that came”

Sharon Freeman Woods “Yes but this is, this is.”

Alexandria Harrison “This is ****** it says it. The pilot.”

Sharon Freeman Woods “OK this is ******, it might be helpful to look at ******* statement.”

Ruth Lovell “No what’s wrong with that one?”

Alexandria Harrison “But that’s the log.”

Sharon Freeman Woods “That’s just the log, his statement has a lot of detail. His statements got a lot of detail.”

Alexandria Harrison “When I presented the court with the tweet your side presented us with that as confirmation of logged calls. Well we’re giving you that back. That is what you’ve presented us with and we’re showing you.”

Sharon Freeman Woods “That’s when he came on duty.”

Alexandria Harrison “No it’s not, because look, how can you have the search taking place and yet have the wrong date on here?”

Sharon Freeman Woods “We’re just gonna check his statement.”

Alexandria Harrison “It’s doesn’t matter what the statement says, it’s this.”

Sharon Freeman Woods “His statements more detailed.”

Ruth Lovell “No it’s true we, we have to follow the 23rd or the 24th, so she has to follow the dates, sorry”

AW “Have we got a copy of Mr ****** statement?”

Ms H “I do sir, I’m just reading it”

AW “Thank you”

AW “Let’s just, let’s just pause a moment, let’s just have a look at what he says in his statement and let’s see if that helps us”

Ms H “The statement says the email requested that I complete a police statement for a particular flight almost 11 months earlier the 24th January 2015. Err he says upon ‘reading an email stating I was a pilot of a police helicopter.  I was flying the aircraft at 03:55. I checked my personal record/rota and I was indeed on my last of 4 night shifts at 03:35 that morning’.

AW “So he came on duty on the 23rd?”

Ms H and Sharon Freeman Woods “Yes”

Ms H “He goes on to state,  ‘the email also states that I was flying with a police officer ****** on that night, other than being told this in an  email, I cannot recall any crew that I flew with on that 12 hour duty 23rd/24th January 2015.’ And I think sir when you look at the log, it doesn’t appear to be necessarily Mr Levers log. It has his name as the pilots. Mr ****** is the tack commander and it’s dated the 23rd 1st  15 next to it,  it says duty to the right of it.  And Sir of course you heard Mr ****** give evidence about.

AW “That’s right”

Ruth Lovell “Your honour it says daytime there though. It’s got a box ticked where it says day, not night.”

Alexandria Harrison “The fact is if they’re going to dispute that information, then these people that the information came from, we need to speak to, obviously”

Sharon Freeman Woods “It’s in his statement”

Alexandria Harrison “Well the statement isn’t, you know, we’d like to have the opportunity to question him, because we were given this by your side as evidence.

Sharon Freeman Woods “Mm mm”

Alexandria Harrison “You know I cannot imagine, you know because if there’s an accident, God forbid, and they hand this form in, which has the wrong date, then what you’re saying is, the information they have given us is going to be a day out.”

Below is  the information the I.P.C.C.gave at the inquest.  Again, as you can see, everything matches except the date and time…

ipcc555

AW “Let’s just move on from that. This witness has stepped back into the witness box for you to ask further questions.  I have the point about this now.

When we had questioned Mr ****** prior to this coming  up, we had not noticed the date. However, I was able to question him on the tweets. He basically said what this person said regarding when the tweet are tweeted and who does the tweeting. 

In  addition to the above, once I told him the details which were on the tweet, he  appeared to be taken aback. I then asked him what were the chances of a tweet being tweeted ahead of time (although we knew the answer was obvious, we just needed it clarifying). I explained we were confused as to how  a tweet can be tweeted 7 hours before the incident, he responded by saying that it wasn’t possible as they wouldn’t know. Common sense really…

Here  are a number of other tweets that were tweeted in relation to the air search that took place…

pool

This tweet is regarding the search which took place on the 26th. just after AD and JW found DF’s  jacket.  We can vouch for this because we were searching the marshes at the  same time…

ppo

Once Ruth and I had brought this to the attention of DI Sharon Freeman Woods and DSI  Stewart Hill,  the tweets were promptly changed to look like this.  The first one means it would have been tweeted just over 6 hours after the incident, which would make it the most delayed tweet in the HISTORY of NPASLondon  tweets…

vv

According to the details on the one below the same tweet was also tweeted by NPASLondon at 4:46 …

999

 

Additional evidence that NPASLondon and MPSinthesky, appear to have ALWAYS used the same time zone as us, which would make perfect sense, seeing as we are  all in the  same country, as she sort of mentioned herself, in a roundabout way. Playing with words is never clever. “Okay. When you flagged up that, we sent a message to our media Directorate to also test what you’re saying.  When they did the search, it actually flagged up on the 24th at the right time.  So it depends, when you click on that tweet you’re referring to, it comes up with different times.  Now the explanation is that if it’s, if it’s  tweeted in San Francisco it’s gonna flag up on the 23rd Just double click on it and it’ll show the right date, it is actually the 24th.” 

popop

So again we ask the question, how could MPSinthesky and NPASLondon tweet the tweet, 7 hours ahead of an incident? We have ALWAYS CLAIMED that the accident took place on the 23rd and this backs that theory up, as does the pilots flight log and the details given to us from other sources…

IF the Metropolitan Police had nothing to do with Ambrose’s death, then why have they gone to so much trouble to hide the real date, and other information we have provided them with? The Metropolitan Police have even been given the backing of the I.P.C.C. No wonder the police are literally getting away with blue murder, if this isn’t stopped very soon, we have no one to blame but ourselves, when the Police continue to loose control and we, as innocent civilians, become their next victims… 

How can a coroner state that he believes the technical data and other information that the Metropolitan Police have given, yet IGNORE VITAL INFORMATION SUCH AS THIS, and IGNORE EVERYTHING WE SAID?

And finally below are a number of tweets which were sent to 2 members of the public. These tweets took place 6 months before the tweets, which related to Ambroses’ ASU search were tweeted.  Again, as you can see these tweets share the same time zone and, involved both  NPASLondon and MPSinthesky.

ANPR Movements Of The BMW & Cell Sightings Of Ambrose and TL’s Phones According to the Metropolitan Police – Including Thaines Journey Home From The Crash Site According To HIS Evidence Given At The Inquest …

As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

The image below shows the correct details of where the wheel, BMW and jacket were found. This is according to the evidence, which was submitted during the inquest into Ambroses’ death, by Metropolitan Police.

According to the evidence that TL gave at the inquest he walked home, although he  had initially been waiting for a bus at the bus stop.  The route he gave at the inquest is below. Having said that, TL only used the location of the BMW as his base and not the name of a road or place, as he couldn’t remember. So  again this information is based,  in part, on what has been said to him by the Metropolitan Police and not from what he recalls himself…

The 1st Week …

 As with everything we state on this blog, all the statements can be backed up with further evidence in the way of emails, audio or visual recordings. In most cases this involves a combination of the aforementioned.

The facts surrounding Ambroses case and how, it is still being dealt with by police within the borough of Haringey, specifically Enfield, Colindale and Wood Green.

Timeline of events for the first week.

1. On Saturday the 24th January 2015 at approx 8 a.m. Ruth is alerted by Ambroses flatmate that Ambrose had not returned home. She is told that Ambrose had been involved in a number of incidences the night before at the Fox pub and, that he had been involved in a car crash down by the marshes, before disappearing.

2. Ruth phones the police at approx 9.30 a.m. to report Ambrose missing. She explains that Ambrose had been involved in a number of fights  the night before and, that he had also been involved in a car crash. She is given the CAD number.

3. On the morning of 24th January while searching for Ambrose Ruth and AM came across  wheel and parts of a BMW and Ambrose’s number plate. Ruth took photos of these items in situ and reported her findings to the police.

In addition to taking a number of photographs, Ruth had also made contact with the dedicated missing persons unit at Colindale police station via Rebecca Bird.

Ruth also continued to send Ambrose text messages and stayed in contact with Ambroses’ friend JW and Ambroses’ ‘flatmate’ AM…

1st

Here is a text from one of Ambroses’ friends JW. he along with his wife KW, some other people and Ruth. had been searching as soon as they became aware that something serious was wrong …

2nd

alppp

During the day of the 24th, as the police had refused/failed to come out despite several calls from friends and family (not just Ruth); had failed/refused to take details regarding Ambroses’ accident and the circumstances of his known last movements or offer failed/refused to offer any advice as to what to do, she had to take things into her own hands.

So as any desperate Mother would do when looking for a child who has disappeared, Ruth went out with some of Ambroses’ friends and stated sticking posters to every surface they came across.  Unfortunately when they returned the following day, most of these had been removed, so needed replacing…

4. Ruth officially reports Ambrose missing to Colindale police at 10 p.m. Saturday night, as she had been told in  previous phone calls, that as Ambrose was an adult she had to wait 24 hrs.  However, after explaining once again about the circumstances in which Ambrose disappeared in (as she had done previously)., this time she was informed that as there were mitigating circumstances, the usual 24 hr rule didn’t apply.  

Below is an account from one of the people, who was at the marshes with Ruth and a small group of friends on Saturday 24th January 2015…

hamiiiii

5. Two police officers based at Colindale police station, attend Ruth’s home to collect more details at approx. 10.30 p.m on Saturday 24th January 2015. 

95% of their questioning was around gangs, drugs and street crime.  As you can imagine this upset Ruth and other family members who were present.  Their questions never related to a missing person at all, and they seemed uninterested in the despair that Ruth and other family members were feeling.

At this visit they also asked Ruth if she wanted to sign 2 sheets of paper regarding media exposure. After reading these Ruth agreed to sign one, which was for media attention, but refused to sign the the one because it stated that they could use and print whatever information they found out or was told about Ambrose. Her reason for this was because less than a couple of months later, someone she loves dearly, her second Son, was lied about in the press, which had devastating consequences for them as a family.

6.While out searching Tottenham Marshes on Sunday 25th January with a group of friends, Ruth and a number of other people were constantly phoning the  police, voicing  their concerns regarding Ambroses’ sudden disappearance following a car crash.

While speaking with the police, Ruth explained that she felt Ambrose was still there. The police officer told her to stay right where she was and, that she would get back to Ruth after speaking with her superintendent. Ruth and the friends stayed for another 3 hours without as much as a returned phone call.

Sometime later they were approached by a security guard who informed them, that they had received a phone call from the  police. The police had told the security guard to tell everyone to leave the marshes and make  sure they were escorted off. At this point they had no choice but to abandon the search for Ambrose.

Below is another statement from one of the people who was at the marshes on Sunday 25th January 2015 and on subsequent days …

7. The police requested Ambrose’s toothbrush for DNA testing, which they had requested fom Ambrose’s flat mate. Unfortunately this person decided to go to his mothers house, pick up a new toothbrush, scuffed it up a little by rubbing it against a wall, so that it looked used and handed this to the police. When we asked him why he did this he couldn’t give us an answer. We passed this information on to the police at Colindale as soon as we were aware of it.

8. We were informed by the same friend that the police had told him that the car had been towed away by the police at approx. 3 a.m Saturday morning.

9. Ruth and I attended Colindale police station with some of Ambroses clothes and his real toothbrush, at approx. 10 a.m Monday morning. When we arrived at Colindale police station the police officer at the desk had no information on his .P.C regarding Ambrose or any of the calls made by Ruth. We explained that Ruth had called the police station a number of times and that she had also received a ref number. We showed this to the police man. He again checked and said that he could see no information, he then said that he was going upstairs to talk to the dedicated missing persons team. After 40 minutes and no communication we approached the PC at the front desk and asked him what was going on. He informed us that someone from the dedicated missing persons unit would be with us shortly. We asked him why no details about Ruth’s call or Ambrose’s case were available for him to see on his PC. He explained that as it was a weekend there was an overlap and that all the information wasn’t uploaded onto their systems until this morning. We asked why information relating to Ambroses car were passed onto a third party instead of his mother, he couldn’t give us an answer, but did say that it shouldn’t have happened. After approx another 15 minutes the person from the dedicated missing persons unit introduced herself and explained that she was the one Ruth had been communicating with since Saturday the 25th January. She told us there was no further information she could offer us. We asked her why information was being passed onto a third party instead of his mother. She said that the dedicated missing persons unit only consisted of 3 people, of which she was one and that none of them had spoken to anyone outside of the force regarding Ambrose’s car. We asked how it was possible for this third person to get this information and she could not offer us an answer. We also informed her of the car crash Ambrose was seen to have had on the Saturday night on Leeside Rd near Tottenham Marshes. We showed her photographs of the number plate, a wheel that was laid  against the railings and loose debris. She glanced at these but didn’t ask for any copies or any other information. She  simply threw the bag that contained Ambrose’s belongings on the counter behind her and continued to chew on an apple…

10. On Monday 26th January 2015, at approx. 14:00 hours, while searching for Ambrose we came across a caravan, which was right at the bottom of Leeside Road.

AM, not knowing that Ruth, a number of other people and myself were already on our way, phoned Ruth. Ruth told AM that we were on our way and he said not to bother as CID were there and were not letting anyone through. At this point we could see AM in his car and as we approached, he got out of his car and started to walk towards us. Ruth and I both asked him where the CID were and he told us they had left. It was at this point that I knew AM had been lying to Ruth all along, as there was only one way in and out, and no car/s had passed us. Ruth and I continued to walk down Leeside Road with AM following closely behind, with AM constantly telling Ruth and I that we were looking in the wrong direction. Once we reached the bottom we found a caravan which looked as though it had been there some time. There was a load of rubbish around it. Ruth and I tried to get into this caravan, but we couldn’t. The caravan windows looked as though they were covered i foil, which made it impossible to see inside. There was a tiny piece that looked as though it was coming away and I did try to see if I could see inside, but I couldn’t see anything.

caravan

Ruth and I then tried for about 10 minutes to get into this caravan, but we couldn’t. There was no way we could gain access. After failing to gain access to the caravan Ruth and I continued to walk down, until we came to a bridge. We then went over this bridge and continued to search along the river. We found nothing. After walking for some time, AM got a phone call from JW, telling him that AD and he had found a jacket down by the river. We all made our way back to our cars. Ruth and I got into our car with Chris and the other people we were with got into their own cars and, we all followed AM to where JW had told him the jacket had been found.

11. After being there for approx an hour one of the people helping us search found a coat  towards the bottom of a field just before a fence that lead into one of the rivers. The police were phoned immediately. Two police man arrived within 20 minutes and asked us to show him where the coat was, we took him to it. For the next 6 hours we all remained at Tottenham Marshes. In that time a total of about 10 police officers arrived, of which one was a dog handler and accompanied by an Alsatian and a helicopter arrived to do a search. I asked the police handler that if Ambrose was still here would the dog be able to find him. He explained that the type of dog he had was not capable of picking up a scent after 4 hours. I expressed the view that if this was the case this particular dog wasn’t much use as Ambrose had been missing for 72 hrs now. I also explained that the coat was in too great a condition to have been outside for 72 hours. The coat was clean and dry and I didn’t believe it would have remained in such a condition had it been subjected to the elements within the environment for a period of 72 hours in the middle of winter and, on a very wet and rainy weekend. However I was later told that the police had discounted the possibility of it just being planted there, although they haven’t told us how they came to this conclusion. At the scene the police collect additional information from family and friends. At approx. 5/6 p.m. the police helicopter, dog search and police search was called off due to poor light. Just to note as the jacket was found at Tottenham Marshes the local force Haringey became involved as it was their jurisdiction.

12. On Tuesday at approx. 2.30 p.m. we return to both the crash site and Tottenham Mashes to continue to look for Ambrose and clues. The number plate, debris and wheel were still in place. This areas remain unsecured. Ruth and I, along with some people went back down to the crash site and the marshes to continue to search for Ambrose. We started by covering old ground and made our way down Leeside Road. When we got there we noticed that the caravan I had seen the previous day, and which has been seen constantly by Ruth and a number of people the previous weekend, had disappeared. All the rubbish was still there, there was also a pale blue plastic bowl which was half filled with a dark brown liquid, a towel and next to these was white sock. It also looked as though the concrete posts had been freshly replaced. We notified the police of our concerns regarding this straight away. The police arrived and said it had nothing to do with Ambrose. They said that the sock had nothing to do with Ambrose and the liquid was hair dye. We continued to search the river and marshes for a few hours before we were approached by the police again, and told to stay away from the area. Again we found nothing during this search. EXCEPT the removal of the caravan.

13. Tuesday evening Ruth receives a visit at home from the police based at Colindale. They ask her a range of questions that relate to Ambrose, which were very similar to the ‘gang related’ questions that the previous officers had asked. During this interview Ruth receives a call from Haringey police informing her that they were now  taking over from Colindale Police. This conversation was put on load speaker so that everybody could hear what was being said. On hearing this the 2 police officers who were questioning Ruth left immediately with no further words spoken.

14. On Wednesday while visiting the still unsecured accident area, we discovered that somebody had taken the wheel, although the debris was still there.


15. Although the relationship between Ruth and the family liaison officer started off good, Ruth lost trust and confidence once she discovered she had been lied to by her. She also feels that this person with the help of Sharon Freeman Woods were trying to get her sectioned under the mental health act, in order to get her out of the way. I have to say, as a by-stander, it certainly appeared that way.  Once Ruth expressed these views the relationship between the two changed. In a very frustrated and upset state Ruth explained that she didn’t want to hear from this officer again unless it was to let her know that they had found Ambrose. She explained that every time the police number showed up on her phone she was physically sick and would have severe panic attacks. As any mother would, she is finding this ongoing situation almost unbearable. Ruth has had no communication from the police since.

16. Today Saturday 31st January 2015 we are going to continue to look for clues into what has happened to Ambrose. We don’t feel that the police have acted and followed the correct protocol. We feel that the car crash scene should have been sealed off immediately and that the car should have been taken to a secure site for investigations later.  We also feel that once the jacket was found that area of the marshes should have been taped off and photographs should have been taken in situ.  We feel, that taking into account the mitigating circumstance, Ruth’s concerns and pleas should have been taken more seriously and, that Ambrose’s case should have been graded as a higher priority than it was;. We believe that the police sent in the wrong dog for this search as Ambrose had been missing for over 72 hours at this point, so a dog that could only track scent for 4 hours was in effect useless.  In a nutshell we believe that if the police had listened to Ruth’s concerns at 9.30 am Saturday 24th January 2015 Ambrose would have had a better chance of being found by now, carrying out a physical investigation of the concerning areas and securing them immediately, would have also helped limit any cross contamination which would render the area/s useless.

17. We feel they have failed both Ambrose and Ruth and as a result of this the search for Ambrose was not only delayed unnecessarily but any hope of survival that Ambrose had would have disappeared drastically after the first 48 hours.
