Tidy up
This article could do with tidying up, e.g. organizing into more headings. Ben Finn (talk) 22:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Uncited statements
I am pulling a number of statements which were tagged for citation in August 2009. If a wp:RS cite is found, they can of course be re-introduced. Rich Farmbrough, 17:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC).


 * Note: I am fairly sure I read some material about the politics incidental to all this, relating to senior officials and officers criticising and making allegations about one another, cover-ups of the incompetence etc. Rich Farmbrough, 17:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC).

Dodgy dealings
I have added some text to the end of the article which failed to mention that Lenny Harper replied in detail to the Mick Gradwell claims http://stuartsyvret.blogspot.com/ I don't know how to cite in the text though.Keith-264 (talk) 22:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * This text? Meanwhile, Lenny Harper published a point-by-point counterblast to these claims. Danrok (talk) 21:24, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Evidence
This text needs to be examined: "In February 2009 States of Jersey Police sent the fragment to Kew Gardens in the UK for testing. In May 2009 the Kew experts stated that the fragment was a piece of endocarp of Cocos nucifera, thereby confirming that the fragment was a piece of coconut."

It is somewhat vague, and a little strange. Seems highly unlikely that an item which was considered to be human remains would be sent to Kew Gardens. As far as I am aware, it is likely to have been initially tested at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit. It may have been examined at Kew, at a later date. Danrok (talk) 17:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Richard Webster (author) claims to have spoken with "Dr Tom Higham, deputy director of the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, who conducted the carbon-dating tests on the Jersey fragment.", see here. Danrok (talk) 17:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Here we have the BBC claiming that the fragment was tested by the British Museum, which is not related to Kew Gardens. But, no mention of what tests were carried out or by whom. Danrok (talk) 17:43, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Kew Gardens testing on 12 May 2009 confirmed in answer to question in States. Man vyi (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Good find, thanks. Danrok (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Reliable sources
It seems that some referenced links are now dead. I am just trying to find new citations, elsewhere.

So, I'd suggest avoiding citing www.jersey.police.uk and http://www.jerseycourts.je as these are not proving to be reliable due to link rot. Danrok (talk) 22:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Some of the links relevant to this case (not sure if the exact ones referenced) appear to be in the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive; for instance, https://web.archive.org/web/20111121070549/http://www.jerseycourts.je/news/2011/01/07/sentencing-of-morag-and-anthony-jordan/ Nlaylah (talk) 06:45, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Sniffer dogs criticised???
The article states: "The reliance on indications given by the same sniffer dogs criticised in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was also questioned."

The only people I'm aware of who criticise Eddie the cadaver dog and Keela the blood dog in the Maddie case are her parents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.146.53.64 (talk) 21:04, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
