US Virgin Is - Sarm Joan Lillian Heslop, 41, British, aboard vessel Siren Song, St. John, 7 Mar 2021

Something fishy going on for sure! I live on my boat a week or two a month, alone. She's only 30 feet, but I feel very safe on her, although she is docked in a marina, not on a mooring. I would not feel so safe on a mooring, unless I had firearms aboard. If you go overboard,you'd make a splash and certainly be yelling. I know am riddled with questions. That nights weather? How close the nearest boat, were they drinking?

So he wakes at 2am but doesn't ring the coastguard until nearly 10hrs later?? Surely you would call them immediately, especially given you've been asleep for 4hrs!!

Moo

I found her missing person Facebook page but it's titled Missing Person not her name. It's only about her, I assume by family. @catseekr this should have her name in the title to make people more aware imo.
I link it here and report my post to mods

Haven't we heard this type story before?

Just went back to page 1 and seen it's already been linked sorry! Facepalming myself.

Two things, one VI Free Press is a rag mag. Very unreliable and sensational. (Bane article).

Her missing page just said the boat was searched today. For the first time.

I really find the time discrepancy particularly disturbing. I’ve slept on boats many times. We have a boat. If I woke to find my husband no where to be found I would call for help immediately. He either fell in somehow, he left me on purpose or someone took him and neither scenario warrants waiting 10 hours to get help. Having said that, we always lock our cabin so there’s really no reason for anyone to leave the cabin in the middle of the night and if he did I would def hear him since the beds and cabins aren’t particularly huge. If we were drinking then I may not necessarily hear him but I’d def call for help when I noticed. Idk. The whole thing stinks and just doesn’t seem plausible to me. MOO

 

[KALI]

No. Unless she grabbed the anchor. Wondering how deep the water was.

Thanks!
What do you think this has to do with her disappearance, would her falling in cause it?

 

[Bogyo13]

I don't think the fox news article has been shared yet:

UK woman who vanished from yacht off Virgin Islands has been missing for over a week

 

[Jsizzle]

Another thing I thought about....we’ve been to the BVIs a few times and every time we’ve used a mooring ball to “anchor” our catamaran. In this instance, I can’t see how the anchor alarm would trip. That would be interesting to know. If they were tied up to a mooring ball or actually anchored.

Very bad journalism. Moo

I read the article. Other than one nasty comment in social media there's no mention in the article of he being an issue let alone "The Bane of her Existence". Are they ommitting information or is it bad journalism?? Thanks for sharing with us and welcome (despite the circumstances)

 

[KALI]

My thoughts? She never returned to the boat after dinner, regardless of what he se says. I'm sure that whatever happened, happened on land, after dinner. Waiting to see if anyone saw the two of them heading back to the boat after dinner.

Could have carried her anywhere around the island on the dinghy on the way back to the boat or far out to sea...

I suspect a body would have surfaced by now if it was suicide or an accident MOO so you might be right.
Wouldn't there be cameras showing them getting back on the dinghy?
Her phone was on the boat, do you think if she didn't get back on the boat her items were taken back by 'someone else'?
As they weren't married insurance money doesn't come into play imo?
Edited to take out something from a previous post sorry

Very bad journalism. Moo

I haven’t read it. I won’t click on his filth. He wrote an awful article about the family and woman that died in a helicopter crash a bit over a month ago.

 

[slowpoke]

The watch commenced “a series of actions, notifications to partner agencies in the Virgin Islands,” and Castrodad said that “we do have indication that the person also reached out to 911,” in addition to calling the Coast Guard to report Heslop missing.

Investigators conducted drift analysis from the vessel that was reportedly anchored 50 yards from shore in Frank Bay and launched boat forces “that commenced a surface search of the shoreline, adjacent islands, and all the waters around and out to sea from where the vessel was located,” Castrodad said.
No sign of missing woman

Picked out the above from the article to point out:
The bf called 911 in addition to the Coast Guard.
The boat was anchored 50 yards from shore in Frank Bay.

That's a good point thank you, it's in the URL and the @ but not the title. I will pass that on now.

Still awaiting conformation that/if it has been searched as per the post.

I’ll see if I can find it in an article anywhere.

It hasn't been confirmed if they have or haven't yet, waiting to hear. This also has just been published Missing British woman's yacht has still not been searched by US Virgin Islands police

‘BANE’ OF HER EXISTENCE: Boyfriend Of Missing British Woman Depicted For 1st Time

According to article there was a 10 hour gap between the BF 'finding' her missing and reporting it to authorities. Heck, he could have been a long way from where he reportedly anchored when she became 'missing' and then sailed to the area where he reported her missing. That way her body would be nearly impossible to find.
