This has all the hallmarks of a Police f**k up and the Chief Constable making a mumbling apology in front of the cameras about "learning lessons" in 12 months time. Depends on what she was wearing, if certain clothes get waterlogged then you can get weighed down.

The nature of her disappearance makes it newsworthy, not the fact she is white. Allan Bryant disappeared into thin air as well and has never had the media attention this is getting. It does seem like an odd show to air so soon after she has gone missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like an odd show to air so soon after she has gone missing. I don't think the media attention has been particularly OTT given the circumstances and time she's been missing. Unfortunately, when a male goes missing the public maybe have preconceived ideas that they chose to do so or can look after themselves but when it's a woman, especially with kids, there is the assumption that it isn't voluntary and must be something sinister. Let's be honest, it doesn't sound great for her at this moment although it pains me to say so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 5 is a lightening rod for this sort of stuff, watched by your facebook detectives who feel the need to visit a crime scene for a day out activity with the kids. All pretty grim tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If I ever become a kidnapper I’m going to cut my ransom notes exclusively from Norah Jones and Elbow CD inlays in an attempt to fit Jools Holland up for it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am in the park with the dog i'll let it off the lead but you don't take the harness off. 22 hours ago, Busta Nut said: They're not married. I think he did one today at one point. 8 hours ago, Jambomo said: Even rivers that aren’t especially fast can still have strong currents though. It’s also not always possible to find a bit to climb out when you are in (assuming she was conscious and she didn’t hit her head). It’s one of the warnings we get as swimmers about swimming in rivers. All of these have been covered and debunked in news coverage I'd seen. She routinely removed the harness when away from roads as the dog would charge about undergrowth and get it caught or dirty. She also often took a tennis ball, if so it hasn't been found (maybe she or the dog dropped it, she stepped forward then slipped?). Dog dry but not all dogs will jump into water after owners. Her partner - they aren't married - definitely did an interview a few days in. She was wearing welly boots, ankle-length jacket and several layers of fleeces which would be a struggle if fell in. Isn't a fast-flowing river but seemingly quite deep in middle, becomes tidal not far downstream and banks deceptively steep e.g.: Given very short time window, the number of local people in the vicinity, and all possible ways out supposedly having being covered by camera footage, you can see why police - publicly at least - stuck to water line. Borders lad disappeared in St Andrews in 2019, huge search, total blank, sadly remains washed ashore 3 months later. However with no trace - plus odd aspects, like calm weather, and phone - you can see why other theories 'gain traction'.

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If it's true about that tennis ball and after seeing that bank and how steep it is I'm going for her falling in and couldn't get out. Case closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I think she was sitting on the bench using the phone, had let the dog off which had gone close to the river. Dog looks like it's about to fall in, she puts the phone down and runs over and falls in herself and unfortunately can't get out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have missed the other shows they've done for non-White missing people. Yeah, same as the Sarah Everard case, you can't help but feel queasy that certain cases (usually involving 'ideal' victims) get far more media attention than others. The exact same circumstances replicated with any man, or a woman from an ethnic minority or poor background, would almost certainly not get the same attention. People cannot be naive on this surely?

I don't agree, it wouldn't be too difficult to find baffling disappearances of other people in the UK that haven't had anywhere near the same level of attention. On 11/02/2023 at 21:26, Miguel Sanchez said: People being more interested in things happening in their own country than others isn't as outrageous as you think it is. But, equally, the new Zealand earthquake in Christchurch would have received far more press coverage than comparable (or far worse) incidents in other parts of the world that are much closer to the UK. No one individual is at fault for this, you can feel sorry for the people involved in these cases whilst also queasy that papers with middle class white female will sell more / garner more empathy than pretty much anyone else. And if you don't believe class is a factor, have a look at Maddie McCann Vs Shannon Matthews. I distinctly remember another young girl going missing from the same area shortly after Maddie McCann but it was quickly dismissed as she was from the gypsy community and not of the same socio economic background as Maddie. No David Beckham appeal for her. Keep calling it out, maybe eventually it will get better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
