Whatever we may think about it, this is not how the Law works, in both/either jurisdiction (possibly) relevant to S. JMO, speculation, etc. At the time of her birth, until now, S was under the jurisdiction of Indonesian courts and law because that is where she was habitually resident since...

Well, well, well. I haven’t commented here in years but have kept up from time to time. I don’t think I ever really believed that the US authorities would actually arrest HM on her return (although I was always pretty sure she’d get an early release from Indonesia). If it’s true that Oshar...

Snipped by me: I’m not going to get too hung up on the nitty-gritty of this tidbit, because I think it’s important to remember that Dan, the French and the Spanish authorities were all communicating in two/three different languages and we don’t know the fluency of any of them in each. It *may*...

RBBM: it’s possible but, JMO, unlikely. If she changed her mind & decided to do that, wouldn’t she have let someone know, at least briefly by text (it appears that there was a lot more communication going on than we previously knew)? And it appears that the phone signal was reasonable on that side.

It’s not enough :(. AND he’s appealing

Marking my spot with a link to the LBT Global press release and Dan’s complete dossier on Esther’s disappearance. I haven’t read it all yet, but there’s a wealth of detail. https://www.lbt.global/media-releases?fbclid=IwAR2q1EwjjQD9pXPluTrEsGNeO-YUQ2D3R8LZXUGw2lvFyngkWLenB-1gl-s...

Well, that’s a twist I wasn’t expecting after all this time. I hope that there’s more info being shared with Tony’s family that helps them.

Reservations in the unmanned season work via an “honour system” of sorts, in that you reserve and pay online, by email, or by phone using a bank card.

BBM for focus: The shop CCTV, from the DM, is stated to be on the 19th November (no time referenced). X-referencing with Esther’s own postings on IG she accepted a lift back to her camper in Benasque sometime around 2pm that day, after what appears to be a couple of days hiking (I.e. not in...

That’s a half-decent article/summary, if one takes the time to read it carefully all the way through (past the regurgitation of speculation). “Another possible explanation for Dingley’s disappearance – that she was the victim of a crime – has no evidence to support it.”

BBM: no. It was prior to the 19th November. Her “is this a bear print?” query was posted November 17th on IG. Her reference to “bivvying” (again on IG) was November 14th.

I tend to think that DC, SAR & many posters here are likely correct in the area narrowed down to where Esther disappeared and is likely to be found. In my very limited personal experience of SAR searching on the ground as well as following cases here, the missing person is often - eventually -...

You didn’t. You articulated my thoughts very well. I was formulating a reply, but @Recliner got there first :). Sometimes, when there’s no new news, I switch to reading along rather than commenting just for the sake of it.

Marking my spot. One of the things that occurs to me regarding the apparent confusion/ contradiction whether LE (and by extension Esther’s family) think Esther had an accident in the mountains somewhere or isn’t up there, may be because we have 2 entirely different sets of authorities in 2...
