Isn?t it amazing that they were all equally slow when they?re needed to be.
Indeed....
Bowely had just picked up his daughter from school and was on his way to pick up his wife from work. He must have been acutely aware of the time, as any parent picking up a child from school is. R. L. Thornton School in Singing Hills, where Bowley picked up his daughter "at about 12:55 pm", is around 7 miles or 13 minutes away from 10th street, making it possible for an arrival at 10th street at 1.10 pm
As for Markham, she only had to walk two blocks in about four minutes to get from her home to the bus stop on Jefferson and she did the same thing every day. Markham couldn't possible be talking about the bus scheduled at 1.12 pm, when she estimated she catched the bus at 1.15 pm, because back in those days busses always arrived and departed at exactly the scheduled time, right? Give me a break!
Far better to rely on a voice actived recording device which can easily be manipulated

Just too bad that the time stamp card from the ambulance service, which could have confirmed the time, has never been produced.....
