• Mrs. Bolshaw had entertained men at her home late at night who were casual callers. On one occasion that is known about, one man was in the sitting room while the other had sex with Mrs. Bolshaw in the bedroom.
  
  
• Mrs. Bolshaw had been known to leave the back door unlocked to allow a male friend access.
  
  
• Information from Mrs. Bolshaw’s diary indicated that she had entertained two men on the same day.
  
  
• On Friday 7^th October 1983, Mrs. Bolshaw had an arm and leg wax, and had told the beautician that she was having a ‘session’ the following morning. From previous conversations, the beautician took this to mean she was meeting with a man to have sex the following morning.

The above is not an exhaustive list of people and incidents related to the police by friends, acquaintances and colleagues of Mrs. Bolshaw regarding men she was associated with before and around the time of her death.
