In addition, Fletcher had said that he had never seen Comas again after March 1966, but Comas now claimed to have proof that Fletcher had written a letter for him, to the Social Security office, on 6 April. Finally, Comas stated that if he did not receive satisfaction, he would take his case to the European Commissioner in Strasbourg.

The police were satisfied that there was no grain of truth in this and no action was taken against Mark Fletcher. Comas had lied repeatedly after his arrest and changed his story four times. The authorities believed that he had acted alone and was solely responsible for the death of Alice Cox, and a jury had agreed with that premise.
