   Julia died in a locked room, at night. She had been hearing something whistle in the night, and didn't know what it was. Then she shrieked out, "Oh, my God! Helen! It

   was the band! The speckled band"

    

   The combination of factors would make anyone baffled and suspicious, and having your sister die, as Julia did, trying to point out her killer and failing, would leave considerable fear hanging over your head.

    

   When Holmes visits the house, he finds even more reason to be suspicious: the bed is anchored in place, which left Julia positioned to be vulnerable.
