Mysteries

In this section I want to address some of the mysteries still surrounding the Parker/Hulme case.

For now:

◦ Did Juliet have a diary?
   Examine the evidence and judge for yourself.
◦ The Great Mystery
   What's with Pauline's chin in those pictures?
◦ Plasticine horses.
   Did Pauline and Juliet actually do plasticine/clay modeling?
◦ The strange case of Alison J. Laurie and Hilary Nathan
   Wait .... WHAT???

The Great Mystery

---

A lot of people have wondered: 'What is on Pauline’s chin?'
And here is the definitive answer, straight from a few newspapers of the period:
- 'bandage worn by 16 year old Pauline covers skin infection' (st louis post dispatch, 1954-07-19)
- 'Pauline Yvonne Parker (left with face bandaged for a skin complaint)' (The Herald Melbourne, 1954-08-28 )

So, no more mystery there...
One more thing to go, the one picture that doesn't have the bandage:

In this picture Pauline's chin is clearly retouched. End of story.
