five year old missing!!

[Jem_x3]

From the look on that guy's face I'm pretty sure that Mark Bridger is not co-operating.

 

[CarlyP]

I missed it, what did they say?

 

[mumj18]

Just explained about the search. They're searching 20 'scenes'. Have had 400 messages since the pics went out which is amazing! They didn't say much really. X x

[Emma&Freya]

No. They will not comment on any aspect of the interviews with him but they're not letting him go.

7pm and tucked up in bed? There is no way my eight, seven and four year old would be tucked up in bed. Besides they had just got back from a meeting at the school so there is no way she could of been tucked up in bed.

It could of happened at any other time if he was specifically targeting April, or it could of been another child if it was just a random thing.

I just feel the rights and wrongs of this have been done to death. As parents we follow our instincts, mine are that I dont allow my children out without me, her was that April was safe in a low crime rate area playing with older children. She will regret that decision until the day she dies, and may never hold her baby again.

Hugs to all you lovely ladies on this thread and thank you so much for all the updates. I've been at work all day but glued to this thread praying to see the amazing news she's been found alive and well.

I so hope they find her. Trying to keep positive. My heart breaks for her and her family

One little thing that I keep thinking but can't work out is how he was so bold using his own viehcle. I mean if he wanted to get away with it surely he would have used a stolen car or something. He took April at not a very late time where he could have easily been spotted by people through their windows and with other children present. Why was he so bold about it?? He must have known he would be spotted and the police would come after him.
Hope he rots in hell!!

xxxxxxx

Does anyone else find it really weird that her dad/stepdad wasn't in the press conference but the step grandfather instead? Not accusing or anything, just would think Coral's husband would be by her side.

I agree, and I was one who said at the start of this thread how I thought she shouldn't have been out at that time

However

None of us are perfect parents, we have all made mistakes, errors of judgement. Not necessarily regarding letting los out to play, but other things, on a day to day basis, we risk assess and sometimes we do something that others wouldnt agree with. Most of the time things are fine and we get away with it, sadly for this family things were not ok and regardless of outcome things will never be the same again


I feel genuinely appalled at myself for being so opinionated in the early stages of this enquiry, my heart is breaking for that poor wee girl and her family, who regardless of what anyone thinks about their parenting choice on monday evening obviously love their daughter very very much and are devastated right now

I think the police need to convey a certain kind of message in these situations.

Her dad could well be very very angry and unable to control it (understandable) which if someone has April is going to put her at risk.

They want the abductor to feel sorry for the parents and feel bad i think

Yeah maybe, didn't think of that. Also if she was taken because of a vendetta it would likely be against the husband more so really and they might not want him at the forefront in case he says something they dont want out

One thing that bothers me during all the discussions (not here but mainly on Facebook) is the people who suggests no one has the RIGHT to question what a child was doing out alone at that time. I think given whats happened, it's a perfectly valid question. Whilst I don't think the decision they made makes them bad parents, I do feel it was a bad decision on their part...but I don't think they made it being neglectful or whatever, I genuinely believe they thought she was safe. Of course none of this should take away from the main issue here, a missing child. But I am sick of being told "it's no ones business what the parents did" "everyone should support the parents" - trust me, my heart breaks for them & like I say, I do think it was a bad decision BUT it doesn't mean I feel any less sympathy or pain for them than someone who "supports" their decision.

 

[CarlyP]

I don't think I could control myself knowing that the one person who knew where my daughter is, is at the local police station!

Maybe her dad is that angry he can't be in the public eye. Her mum was so heartbroken

I get what you're saying - everyone is entitled to an opinion but it's probably best not to drag up that argument again. Agree to disagree I think.

We should focus on the here and now and hoping and praying that April is found.

I've just read the vacant farmhouse had signs of someone living in it recently.

 

[Quackquack99]

Thank you for that Tasha.

Not surprising.. there was a reason they were searching there and Mr. Bridgers doesn't seem to have a fixed address. Interesting.

 

[Tasha]

They couldn't deny or confirm whether Bridges has ever been in a relationship with Coral Jones

Now that certainly would make sense for a vendetta, a complicated past perhaps

Yes, I imagine that is where he has been living and they took the dogs there to see if April had been there at all.
