Scotcher said in the plant room where the ambulance vehicles were housed,Bowie had also said,“they will never find her”. He did not know whether that was said on the same day or another day.
The 73-year-old recalled that Bowie had asked him,“Do you want to know what the police were here for?” or words to that effect. He told Crown prosecutor Alex Morris it may have been when he entered the meal room,but it was “40 odd years” ago.
Scotcher said he told Bowie that he was not interested.
