five year old missing!!

[Samemka]

I think chances are something was found at his house (or elsewhere) that shows forensically she cannot be alive anymore. If anything was found in the car i'd have thought the tests would have come back sooner, although they could have been waiting for additional results before changing the charge.

Can someone clarify though - when was his house first searched? I don't remember it being searched watching the news until Thursday, possibly Wednesday. Must have been searched before.

I think either Wednesday or Thursday. I know people want to critise the police for that but the fact is, is they really thought they would find her alive. Due to all the eye witness accounts and the relationship of the suspect to April. Also the fact of where he was initally found on that Tuesday, and of course his attire at that point. They focused their immediate search on those areas. I believe as they interviewed him more that was when they knew they were looking for a body, and something obviously indicated that they should search further afield and look for evidence in his home. I'm not sure he's been there long either - at first he was thought to be homeless.

This has been keeping me awake, every night since she went missing. I had Sky News on my TV, until Madi started crying, asking me why she wasnt at home with her mummy. I didnt think she was taking any of it in. Since then this thread has been my way of getting updates, and at first i dreaded coming on here, incase they had found her dead somewhere. Now its all i want to see. My body and heart ache for her mummy, i dont think i could cry any more for this poor baby and her parents. I just want her home, and found.

I didnt see this going on like this at all. I have been holding my babies close for the past week, and i cannot beleive what a fucked up, cruel world i have brought them into.

That c**t deserved to be hung up by the balls in a public place. I hope hes in pain every hour and every minute of every day till the day he dies.

Does it sound horrible to say that I'm glad neither of my brothers came across her body (I really dread to think how either of them would have coped)? But, then again, I just want it all over with for the family. The boys joined the searches up until the police said that it was dangerous for them to do so in the horrible weather conditions (some people had been turning up with babies to search for her).

No not horrible at all, Its a totally understandable thought.. Whoever does find her will have that image etched in their head for the rest of their lives
Another act of evil and selfishness from the ******* that killed her!

I still find it very odd that his ex Vicky Fenner said in an interview that she doesn't know him but on Facebook she is still linked at in a relationship with him!

Do you think she was scared of how the public would react towards her if it was revealed she was connected with that monster in any way? Xx

Maybe the police have told her to say that to protect Her and her children from the media frenzy... Or maybe she's a vital witness so she can be used in court she is better to say as little as possible?

Yeah I wasn't going to criticise the police, I was just thinking in my head

Spoiler

If it was something 'obvious' relating to her death there & they had found it sooner, wouldn't he have been re-arrested on suspicion of murder sooner? But there are so many if's & but's it's a silly question....just hard not to wonder IYKWIM

The way I try to look at it is Fred West killed himself in prison, so did Harold Shipman & I'm sure Ian Huntley tried to commit suicide too. Maybe life inside prison can be 'worse than death' for some.

Also, inmates will go absolutely crazy for him. Child murderers are the lowest of the low inside prisons so I believe.

Oh I know I was saying it general as I've heard some criticism toward the police for it. If it was forensics, then no, as they would have to analyse it first and make sure it was related to April. And in this case it probably was. That would count from anything from clothes to fluids. Sorry

I agree with you here......the interview in question was published the next day after she disappeared too so I'm not convinced the police would have spoken to her because by then, Bridger hadn't been named as a suspect or possibly even arrested (I'm sure it was published on Tuesday evening & he wasn't arrested until 3.30pm Tuesday!). She wouldn't have know he had been arrested unless she gave the interview to the press after say 5.30, which is when Bridger's name began to do the rounds.

EDIT: The interview I mean was I think published by the mirror, along the lines of VF saying 'two girls saw a man get into a van' etc etc

Believe it or not, most will probably think prison is quite cushy, but it's not made easy for them. They don't just get everything when and how they want it. And most inmates spend the night crying. Some because they feel guilty, some because they got caught, some because they'd rather die. It's a small comfort but there you go.

ETA: If he was at risk from other prisoners he would be put in a segregation unit for his own protection.

I think the police did the right thing in concentrating on trying to find April in the first 48 hours! But they arrested him fairly quickly so the evidence will still be there.

Can you see vicky fenners profile then??

 

[Samemka]

I saw her profile the other day, it said her husband was Bridger and she was also friends with April's godmother.

The mail have just released some pics of Bridger on their website....one being him & Vicky Fenner! Also him with 2 dogs on a beach feeding them treats - I hate how someone doing such a normal thing can (seemingly) be so evil.

 

[Samemka]

What's really bothering me is if he won't reveal where her body is, that could mean he's hidden it really well so he's planned it in his head. Thought it all out. Either that or, I know we all say why isn't he telling them - maybe he is. Maybe he's told them she's in the river. I doubt it though.

I know that's the thing, I know you can't go on looks etc but he seems a Pretty normal person with children etc Going on trips to the beach etc
I guess we will never know what made him do it that day!

I dont think he will say as its evidence....but then you never know he might plead guilty.
If he put her in the river even he won't know where she is now.

I did think the other day when they were focusing on the bank, I wonder if he had said that's where she went in.

We don't know how he's feeling, he might be in denial or he could have snapped and now regretful, admitted it and told them where he put her??
That would be all the evidence they need if he's admitted it on tape!

 

[Samemka]

It's the not knowing & trying to apply logic to such a senseless act. I am desperate for them to find her but with each passing day I get more scared

Me too

 

[Samemka]

You know the articles yesterday that we're saying April was allowed extra playtime for a good report at parents evening? It's really bothering me. Unless that isnt true & she normally plays out until that time, how would Bridger know she would be out at that time? Unless he was either watching her or it was a 'seize the moment' when he saw her. Its just so creepy & sick
