Yeah happy belated birthday Andrew. This was a smart kid and I remain optimistic that he might well be somewhere still alive.

I was reviewing the Milly Dowler case this afternoon, one of the reasons it is notable is how suddenly Dowler disappeared. Bellfield snatched her from a relatively busy area in the broad daylight of an early afternoon, nobody heard or saw a thing. This subsequently got me thinking about...

Alcohol just seems to crop up again and again in this case it seems to me. Its the last thing Maura takes with her before she vanishes (and the amount is of course notable) and is the cause of her last accident and likely contributed to the accident in her Fathers car. We know Fred drinks and...

The point above is valid, I wrongly believed Mr Jeffries was arrested before the body was found when in actual fact he was arrested 5 days after. My mistake. Searches have now been conducted in this case and we don't seem to have a smoking gun. Hope it at least helped the investigation in...

Your point is valid, I am far more comfortable in using the term 'death by misadventure' as suicide implies a premeditated certainty in her actions taken. And I think after the car accident all premeditated plans go out the window for Maura. I do believe the book being in that car with her...

The way Mr Jeffries was treated was a disgrace. The Daily Mail were, as usual, happy to sink to the nastiest most suggestive smear job they could. Don't get me started on that newspaper. However if I recall correctly (and I was obsessed by that case and the damn Pizza) LE searched only...

I'll just second that we are dealing with a very slight girl here, really quite a tiny girl. I always suspected that Brittanee would have been completely distracted as she walked along due to reading and replying to her boyfriends texts. This might have allowed the Unsub to sneak up on her...

This is the cornerstone of a compelling theory. I think the book that Maura had with her is often glossed over by people, including me. I think this is partly due to focused attention on the alcohol and exhaust rag, both ambiguous clues. It is also partly due to Fred's outright dismissal of...

This is an interesting idea that had not occurred to me. If Madyson did fall then it could theoretically have led to one or both parents jumping after her or perhaps one or both could have attempted to scramble down after their daughter not realizing the fatal nature of the drop? This would...

naming him publicly and conducting such a thorough search at multiple properties, LE must be pretty sure they have the right man?

I wonder if a thorough enough investigation was able to be conducted at his school? Ideally this would take into account his computer access at the school along with talking to everybody that communicated at all with Andrew, both friends, enemies and acquaintances. I'm still of the...

I'm still inclined to believe that Andrew was meeting someone in London and with the secrecy involved it makes me think that person was likely posing as a girl. Perhaps they asked him to bring cash with him? It is such unusual behavior that my mind keeps returning to this idea of a secret...

An interesting and disturbing case. My heart breaks for his Father and Sister and indeed the rest of his family. Kings Cross is a seedy place indeed. About ten years ago now I went to see a gig in London with a friend. We were both horrendously drunk and ended up getting off accidentally at...

I think this nicely summarizes the case. We can only deal with likelihood when we look at the case and I think Maura taking off on her own toward the Mountains is most likely what happened. I don't like calling the theory a case of suicide so much as we will perhaps never know Maura's intent...

I was thinking yesterday that if we could answer the mystery around the amount of alcohol Maura purchased then it would strongly indicate what Maura's motivations were as she drove away. The question being, was that alcohol for Maura alone or was it for Maura and other people? The alcohol...

The most recent LE report on this (26/03/14) mentioned more tests were now being conducted on the bone. The first tests proved the bone is of human origin but other than that were sadly inconclusive. The BBC report does mention that Luke was known to frequent this specific area. I'm not...

I didn't pick up that she was depressed to that extent. I thought she was more annoyed and angry that she had to return the shorts to her friend, which as I understood it was the only reason she was walking alone in that area at the specific time she went missing. I believe it was said...

Many Thanks. Bittersweet to see the blue bow around the tree which marks the spot. It is an area of such sublime beauty, purely on an aesthetic level I can understand the attraction to the area that Maura had. Maura was so close to the Mountain Range discussed in the book 'Not without...

I must confess the more I consider the case, the more I re-read, the more I am convinced of Scoops post about suicide. Everything fits a suicidal pattern. Its very hard to explain the rag as anything but a confused suicidal action if you discount Fred's highly unlikely explanation. And we...

Just wanted to add a personal note of thanks to all mods for all the info. Being a relatively new member I wonder if I jumped into threads a bit too readily without properly introducing myself. If this has come across as rude in any manner then I unreservedly apologize here. I had lurked...
