Yes, IAN
Wallace saying 'now it opens!', but then never making a big deal about the unlocked door again was a major slip up in my opinion. Pretty good indicator of pre knowledge/planning.

I would never say I was a stranger to an area I had been many times. Goodman tested it out on a friend who went on a Wallace like journey, but there were two MAJOR differences. One, Wallace had been to the area many times previously and was at least familiar with the surroundings. Not a random goose chase. In addition, he had been told several times the road DID NOT EXIST AT ALL. Some argue, presuming Wallace's innocence, that he could have thought a mistake had been made with the address and not realize he had been had. Fine, but then why continue on aimlessly for such a long period of time after being repeatedly told there was no such road? He would have been better off going to an actual address in my opinion, and establishing his alibi that way....I do wonder if Murphy's idea of a mistaken address may have been right. Maybe Parry screwed it up and was supposed to say West.
IAN, I think we are pretty much in agreement on most factors. I wish we could buttress Gannon's already magnificent work by dredging up some info on Marsden. Would LOVE to find out new info about him.
