The story of the woman and the poison bottle appears to be a later telling, since the accounts admit her identity and whether she died by suicide or murder are unknown. The schoolboy's sighting and the perfume are the parts described as reported, and no dates are given. Dalzell was a school from the 1950s, was bought by the local authorities in 1967 and turned into flats from 1985, which fits the dogs and guards belonging to the later period.
