Since Janus Seamley hanged himself in his cell two weeks ago,
police have been unable to make headway in their new investigations
as to the whereabouts of Sally Ann Winters' body. The investigation
was reopened after the discovery of a picture in Seamley's cell
which purportedly gives clues to the whereabouts of Sally Ann's
body. The picture can be found in the notes entitled "Mountains
Murder Mystery # 5" on this website. Apart from the picture, four
coordinates were also found on a note laying on Seamley's cell bed.
Police have neither found Winters' body or any further clues at
these locations as to the meaning of the picture. The coordinates
listed at the head of these notes are the first of those four
coordinates found on the bed. The other three coordinates can be
found under the pages listed as "Mountains Murder Mystery #
2","Mountains Murder Mystery # 3" and "Mountains Murder Mystery
#4".
Police hope that in publishing this information a member of the
public might discover something further and come forward. If you
think you are able to help, you may wish to investigate the areas
suggested by these coordinates, as the areas are no longer deemed
scenes of investigation and are once again open to the public.
If this is your intention, it is suggested you read the case
notes from "Mountains Murder Mystery #5" before you proceed.
A note by Bikerbuddy
Since the reopening of these investigations I have been banned
by the police from seeking out the clues Janus Seamley left behind.
I knew Janus and his girlfriend, Sally Ann Winters at university,
and police say Seamley implicated me in her murder not long before
his suicide. I have been told that any attempt to approach the
locations will be seen as an attempt to tamper with potential
evidence and I could be arrested. For that reason I will pass on
any information I have or can guess at regarding each of these
locations to you.
This first location seems significant to me since Janus met
Sally Ann there while doing athletics during his second year of
university. Sally Ann and Janus both had a passionate interest in
geology, and for a time the area behind Hunter Park became a
favourite spot for both of them to explore the rocks and, I guess,
to get better acquainted. One of Seamley's favourite photographs of
Sally Ann was taken in the area with her sitting in a rock
formation they both referred to as Monster's Maw, like a large
mouth, with teeth, I guess. In fact, Seamley wrote a short poem
about this photograph:
Sally Ann, in Monsters Maw
You smiled at me.
In Monsters Maw, that great big jaw
You smiled and said you do adore
My handsome face.
And now when I look upon you once more
In Monsters Maw, it's you I adore.
When I see you in Monsters Maw,
I want you more.
As you can see, Janus had a genius for this sort of thing, and
it is little wonder, given his superior gifts, that he held many
people in contempt. I hope these notes are of some help for you to
solve this mystery, and I do encourage you to report any attempt
you make to find Seamley's first clue, on this website
