THE HOME OFFICE
In 1967, three years after the last of her meetings with Mark and Val, Joelle claimed to have received a visit from two representatives of the Home Office in London. The men began by asking questions relating to the ‘disappearance’ of Jack and Rosamund and some of the other scientists, who by this time were supposedly living ‘elsewhere’, perhaps at a base in South America.
Joelle presumed the men had located her from one of the missing scientists’ address books they found at his home. In any event, they were knowledgeable about the story. Joelle politely refused to answer certain questions. ‘You don’t really expect me to answer that, do you?’ she would reply; a response which seemed to please the investigators.
