I just dont think lying about not knowing him because she dont want people to assostiate her with him is it though because that obviously has drawn more attention to her due to her facebook relationship showing she does know him, i just find it very odd to lie.
five year old missing!!

Plus now there's a picture of her in the daily mail with him, and she's named. Surely if the police wanted her as a key witness etc the press would be told not to report that, but maybe not. Did she specifically say she didn't know him? In the article I read, she didn't mention him, but it could be because by then, she didn't genuinely know it was him. Then when the press reported it, because he had then been named they put it all in the same article?
Sadly the press report what the want most of the time, not what the police want
She will be pulled in to give a statement, most people with a connection will be
Last year there was a murder where I live, I knew the guy, but more importantly the bloke who was arrested in connection with it (has still to come to court) he was an ex of mine. We went out, not seriously, back in 1998. He had no girlfriend to speak f since then, and as a known associate I got pulled in for questioning. It was basic when did you last see him stuff but they covered a hell of a lot of seemingly nonsense questions, 6 pages later my statement was complete and that was a guy I hadn't even said hello to in the street for at least 5 years.

I think the police would have wanted to search his house earlier because what if he had actually hid April there alive. But I think there were rumours circulating that he had no fixed abode as he recently split from his ex. I think the police found out where he was living through a source, I don't think Bridger would have told them.
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
Yes this bothers me too. A neighbour had said he had gone up and down the road a few times and then parked by some garages near where they were playing. I think a few of the other kids went in as originally there were quite a few playing out and once April was left with one other friend he saw the opportunity ... But I don't know! Did he want April specifically or would it have been anyone? He had just been to a parents evening so I cant see how it was all planned. I think he just saw her and thought I'm going to take her.
Maybe after the parents evening him and his ex had a row and he was angry..
Who knows what was going through his head!!
GRAPHIC
I think his house was an obvious murder scene as forensics were in and out really quickly at first. I think it must have been pretty obvious someone had died there.
This was a man who brazenly drove round an estate and took a little girl in front of her friend then was walking around the next day. He didn't care of he was caught. In my opinion.

I agree, he didn't exactly try and hide at any point did he
Does anyone know what time of day he was seen by the river with the bin bags?.. He was walking along in the afternoon wasn't he when he was caught on a press picture!

Apparently he went to work the next day? I know a lot of things do not make sense but I'm sure the police have put majority of the pieces together.

Is this just scaremongering? A friend on facebook posted an inbox message that says 'letting all parents know, my friends daughter was approached by a man at a park in eastfield asking her to go with him to get some cookies'.
I live in eastfield. Is this just some sick individual who has made it up to scare people? Or should it be taken seriously? Not that my kids go out anyway but there's plenty that play out on the street xx

Emmy thank you for saying that my reply was the kindest to her sister. I wanted to hug but my words were the only way to reach out to her.
Beth, I would ring your local police station, they will comfirm or deny. Tbh it probably is a hoax but better to be sure one way or the other, then you can let your friends know too x

I'd phone the police too Beth, just to be on the safe side 
I think after what's happened to April the police will want to know of anything similar ...
I can't face the news today so not sure if anything's happened babyjan xx
Tasha, I couldn't believe what some people were saying to her. Teenagers having a go at her and saying things along the lines of "well I'm 11 and I have to be in by 18.30" or "I have to be in by 19.00 and even then I have to phone my dad and let him know when I leave my friend's house". I hate, hate, hate how people are being so judgemental. The little girl had been allowed to play out for a few minutes while her mum got food sorted after she'd had such a good report from the parent teacher evening (and wouldn't it have been her first proper one or am I mistaken? so that would have been a big thing for the family), this could have happened to anyone.

The thing is even if she was playing out at 5pm, people would still judge, it would be 'Well why wasn't she in having her tea?'
That's what they do in these situations instead of blaming the individual that took her, they take the limelight off the reason why there are pages set up in the first place. Who cares what time she was out playing, there is a little defenseless child out there somewhere, possibly alone, scared and in pain, I can't think of the other alternative, and all people are worried about is who else to pin the blame on.
to her sister, I didn't see the page but I can imagine the grief she was getting

The only person that is to blame is the b****** that took her. Why shouldnt a child be allowed freedom to play without this fear? I looked at my little girl today....she is 5..dancing through to my room without a care in the world except what she was going to play with or other nonsense in her head. I looked at her and the reality of what he might of done sunk in and i felt sick. How will her family ever get on with their life?..knowing her fear or the pain she may have endured at his hands. Thats the nub of it... if it were me i would want revenge in some shape or form..forgiveness would not be an option.
