Jo Yeates’ murder: 2nd Person Arrested

A second man has been arrested in connection with the Jo Yeates murder, 32-year old Vincent Tabak, who lived next door to Jo with his girlfriend.

Chris Jeffries, 65, was arrested in late December, and he has since given police a DNA sample according to news reports and says he expects to be cleared soon. He has also talked of suing the media and police for harming his reputation. He was a unique character to say the least.

If any footage comes up of either man where they are willing to discuss the case, please let me know. Thanks, MA.

Jo Yeates’ Murder: A Pillar of Society?

Jo Yeates vanished after coming home from a night out with friends on December 17 in the UK. She was last seen buying a pizza on surveillance on her way home. Sadly her body was found on Christmas Day.

A retired English teacher, Chris Jefferies, 65, has been held for questioning and arrested for her death.  He was Jo’s landlord.  A neighbor to Jefferies, Ray Lowman, told BBC news about Jefferies, “He is basically a pillar of society. One of the well-known familiar locals.”  The neighbor also called Jefferies very intelligent and smart.

You can see Mr. Jefferies in an interview here with The Sun (UK) talk about the last time he saw Yeates. He is very arrogant and smug.  Arrogance is always a tip-off that something is amiss when someone is questioned about a crime in a criminal manner.  Arrogance has no place nor reason, though alone it is not conclusive.

Several people were suspicious of Jo’s parents in this interview, but I did not see anything that raised any red flags. You can read my thoughts here on her parents in their plea for their daughter’s return last week.

Thanks for the video link, Sophie!
