Sure, Fleet could have gone anywhere in that house before the first crime scene photos were taken. He was there minutes after the first cops were there, he went to the basement on his own, opened the door to the windowless room but didn't see anything in the complete darkness. There is no reason to think he could not have gone upstairs as well. I understood he searched the house on his own calling her name, so I think he DID go upstairs.<P>He had been in that house on many occasions - he had been in all the rooms at one time of another, I believe. So if his hair or prints were in there it wouldn't be hard to explain that - - but I think he was scared someone might twist innocent "evidence" into something damning.<P>As for him touching stuff - - it seems they all touched stuff - - the cops didn't protect it and the civilians just didn't understand. Fleet moved the suitcase, John closed the window. Priscilla was serving food and cleaning up the kitchen. Barbara Fernie was fussing around as well.<P>Their prints can be explained away - even their hair - - but if their DNA or handwwriting matches - - that is another story.
