US Police investigate Neil Entwistle links to internet porn and eBay
Published January 27th, 2006
American detectives hoping to question Neil Entwistle in person about the murder of his wife and daughter in Massachusetts have also begun inquiries into the Briton’s possible involvement in the murky world of internet pornography.
Officers have until now been only in telephone contact with Mr Entwistle, who has been staying with relatives in Nottinghamshire after leaving the US at around the time his wife, Rachel, and nine-month-old baby, Lillian, were killed.
NI_MPU(’middle’);State troopers yesterday took boxes from the family’s house in Massachusetts. It is believed that they are looking at computers owned by Mr Entwistle.
One of the sites being investigated, millionmaker.co.uk, was shut down three days after the murders. The company promised assistance to those with an adult internet business for a £50 joining fee and and £14 monthly fee. The site also included links to three other websites, including one said to be associated with SRPublications — the same name used on an alleged eBay scam selling the get-rich-quick software.
Police are investigating how Mr Entwistle was able to rent a five-bedroom home worth £300,000 when he was unemployed and looking for work.
Complaints about the eBay sales have been listed on the internet, including one from a woman called Anne who said she agreed there was a link to eBay scams “as the user SRpublicationsâ€. She wrote: “SRPublications activity stepped up massively over the holidays and a really large scam has been organised that has earnt SRPublications thousands of pounds in a couple of weeks. It was a very well run and well timed scam, using the holidays to buy extra time, and I think was planned in advance.
“Some of the software was being sold under the name Neil Entwistle, some under the name Rachel — whether that means both were involved or whether only one, I don’t know,†she continued.
The site was apparently closed by eBay within weeks.
Another site, Embedded New Technologies, had the registration listed on Tuesday to Neil Entwistle in Droitwich, the same registration address as the family’s personal website. The registration for the sites is reported to have changed to an address in Tremont Street, Carver. Rachel Entwistle’s parents live in a street of that name in Carver, Massachusetts.
