I do agree, but id rather he just got tae and didnt darken another investigation. Absolutely devastated for her family, I hope they are given the privacy they need for the sake of her kids and that even well intentioned folks on social media etc give them some space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Bollocks. He claimed to have searched the entire river, it would have made no difference to that whether she was pished or not.

According to what he said when I heard him interviewed, she wouldn't have floated away because her heavy coat would have dragged her to the bottom assuming she had missed the rocks just below the surface where she was thought to have slipped in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The old boy probably got his diving gear out of the middle of lidl about a fortnight before she went missing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 From 3.30 on this clip. He claims finding bodies in water is easy and with his tech he could do a large lake in a day. This was a narrow river. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He now looks at best a complete slavering arse or worse negligent in his duty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Did the diver and police only look near the bench, then move much further downstream, missing the middle bit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Like school cross country, maybe they searched until they were out of sight then just hid in the trees. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I’d like to hear him explain just how exactly, his search strategy would’ve been different had he only known there was a possibility of her being drunk. “Hey boss, we’ve found a body that matches the description perfectly.” ”Let’s see. Naw, this one looks sober. Throw it back.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I've not read much other than the BBC. It sounds the woman was having MH issues and the police had attended welfare calls. Sadly it looks like she may have taken her own life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I’ve been appalled at the social media and pile- in by former coppers and commentators with this case. The biggest clown is that diver who turned this into a promotion of his company and was giving constant commentary. Sympathies to the family and hopefully we learn to not turn these cases into the next “Madeleine McCann by social media”type situations, however I’m sure the next time an attractive blonde woman/ child with an interesting life goes missing/ abducted, the press and nutters in social media will revert to type. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Much of the behaviour of ex polis, journalists and politicians belongs on the Normal Island thread. As for the assorted ghouls, incels, thick c***s who confuse TV with reality, narcissists who think they are entitled to interfere with a police misper investigation the sooner they crawl back into their maws basement only to find their hard drives have been confiscated the better. f**k sake. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims finding bodies in water is easy and with his tech he could do a large lake in a day. This was a narrow river. Having watched the use of side scan sonar before, he’s not wrong about a lake, but it’s blooming near useless if you aren’t looking in the right place, and is difficult in a narrow river with an uneven bottom. Even mentioning it is stupid in that context, and it seems he’s just trying to blow smoke. He did suggest the correct technique for the Wyre, a search line, but never addressed how much was searched that way…however his description on the area searched with sonar says down to the weir…and this body is about 0.4 miles down river from the weir…so it’s likely they never searched that far. What’s stupid is that they searched upstream a good ways, but not below the weir, and all the “experts” stupid comments about how bodies don’t move that far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he is publicly humiliated over this and no one ever seeks his clearly bang-average services ever again.

Alert Mongoose Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Was this not supposed to be a tidal river? The fact that a body was found relatively close might be completely irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 He's utterly backtracking now. "I never guaranteed she wasn't in the water" etc etc. He thought he'd get a wee bit of free publicity for his company, then got his 15 minutes of fame and it utterly went to his head. Now it has backfired on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
