"The Chief Minister and Minister for Home Affairs have emerged from this saga with no disciplinary case, no Chief Officer, a pending report from a QC likely to be critical of the Island’s Government, and a bill for over a million pounds. They are not well placed to criticise the actions of others" Deputy Bob Hill............................................. Trevor Pitmans Blog.......................................BALDTRUTH"

D/Supt Mick Gradwell - Where are you???????
Having raised the questions concerning Superintendent Andre Bonjour and the South Yorkshire Police Investigation I thought I would revisit this old posting. The reason for wanting to know that S/Y police fully vindicated Bonjour is quite obvious.

Now think about what I had posted previously concerning former SIO of the historical child abuse investigaion Mick Gradwell. Why was it that it was only Mick Gradwell who refused to give evidence to the Scrutiny Sub Panel? You could not shut this guy up when it came to trashing the HCAE then as soon as he gets asked to explain himself he has turned into Lord Lucan..
Feel Free to add to the old comments
Never be affraid to ask questions

D/Supt Mick Gradwell
In September 2008 Mick Gradwell is seconded from the UK and made Senior Investigating officer (SIO) of Operation Rectangle "The Jersey Historic Abuse Investigation" (HCAE)
D/supt Gradwell has has been very vocal on Lenny Harpers handling of the 'HCAE ' in fact one could say you couldn't shut him up.
I have spent the weekend researching Mr Gradwells press releases concerning the 'HCAE' I was looking for the positive things he said about the former SIO Lenny Harper & his team, seeing as they were the ones who broke down the veil of secrecy regarding decades long abuse, I couldn't find any.
One thing we do know is that he wasn't worried about talking or leaking to the med
First up we had the now infamous press conference of the 12th November 2008. During this time Mick Gradwell was interviewed by the BBC where he went on to show alleged evidence to the reporter again this was done during a live Investigation this can be viewed here

During this same time we get the first sign that Mick Gradwell is talking to Daily Mail Journalist David Rose. Mr Rose came on the scene in early 2008 when he was being leaked confidential emails but in his article dated 15th November 2008 we get out first glimpse of Gradwell & Rose working together. This is what David Rose says;
"Since February 23 this year, when the island's then deputy chief officer, Lenny Harper, first addressed them outside the granite walls of the Haut de la Garenne former children's home, they had been led to believe it had been a house of horror - a place where children were tortured and abused in a labyrinth of cellars, and that possibly as many as seven were murdered.
Now, a bluff, straightforward and extremely experienced Lancashire detective, Det Supt Mick Gradwell, who had taken over the investigation after Mr Harper retired in August, was telling them that most of what they had been told about Haut de la Garenne and Mr Harper's £4.5million inquiry was nonsense."
"llustrating his presentation with slides and the actual physical evidence, he went on to demolish every detail that the world had been told supported the notion that children had died in horrifying circumstances.
For example, the home's 'cellars' were not cellars at all but merely an underfloor space so low that any adult could only walk bent double, with no door or stairway leading down to it.
Metal 'restraints' were in fact an old bed spring, and a piece of wood on which someone had scrawled 'I've been bad 4 years and years' was not placed in the building until 2003 - 17 years after it ceased to be used as a children's home.
Yesterday, in an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Mr Gradwell, 48, revealed that such discoveries were continuing.
However, The Mail on Sunday has obtained confidential documents, including a crucial email written by Mr Harper and the official log book kept by his own forensic science team.
They show he repeatedly misled both the media and the island's government, and made a series of statements that proved to be inaccurate.
