Naming MB publicly was an unusual step....as was reported by all news outlets.

Er....because that's the normal way of policing?

Personally, something just doesn't feel right. There was something about the way this investigation unfolded that made me more uncomfortable and less sure, than relieved as time has gone on. No evidence has been made public and so it's impossible for us to take that into account and so I have...

In the UK under the Human Rights Act passed in 1998, one is innocent until proven guilty, as far as I am aware. "The right to a fair trial and no punishment without law - you are innocent until proven guilty. If accused of a crime, you have the right to hear the evidence against you, in a...

BBM - huh? Perhaps I haven't made myself clear in my many posts on all the threads of this case: there are very few actual facts to choose from and a myriad of opinions and suppositions, none of which point to MB's guilt...yet, or at all. My opinion, therefore, is innocent until proven...

Give you a break? How can you possibly know that it is not true, or what his motivation is? Yes, to many of us MB's circumstances could be seen as sad but to others it could be seen entirely differently. A number of middle-aged men would love to be on their own and doing what they want...

Isn't this the exact problem MB faces (and therefore justice faces), when someone makes a comment (and we have no idea of their agenda, nor can it currently be refuted or explained) and suddenly it becomes fact or at least it has a bearing on how people see someone. Maybe MB is a fantasist...

Brain is so full of 'stuff' about this case that I no longer know what I know - apologies. Please remind me who Kaz Griffith's is and why her post should be read as Gospel.

Please excuse me if I am being totally obtuse BUT I thought no-one knew where MB was living apparently, so how is it they knew that his car wasn't parked on his driveway?

Ah. I hadn't heard that. Do you have a link, please? *No worries - I just found an article that mentions 'cell site analysis.'

Or it wasn't charged? Or he doesn't have one? Or he didn't have credit? There are so many reasons why....

Hello! :) Interesting theory that something may have happened on the 'crabbing' trip. However, it seems to me that if 'something' did happen that, a) the parent's would have told their children to keep out of MB's way and perhaps have already called the police to report the incident, or there...

Thanks Clio - but why do you think they would do that when they highly publicised the searches elsewhere? What, if anything at all, is to be gained from that?

Hmm - just read this interesting article which profiles child killers: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-raj-persaud/child-protection_b_1950749.html and it has a few points that have set me thinking. Rather than the body being buried or put into the river, could it be suspended, or put up...

Just saw the story in the Telegraph regarding mechanical diggers being brought in to help with the search (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9604885/April-Jones-mechanical-diggers-move-into-Welsh-village-in-hunt-for-schoolgirl.html) and have to say that this case gets more baffling to...

:( Sorry to hear that you are in pain. Hope you feel much better asap.

But didn't they specifically give out the registration and ask if people had seen the vehicle between such and such time? Maybe the front of the vehicle is covered because it has evidence of an accident? By the way - morning all! :)

Apparently they knew the man well: 'Two women claim they spotted a man carrying a bin bag to a river the day after April Jones was snatched. They told police he scrambled down a bank not far from where the five-year-old vanished. As officers yesterday searched the River Dyfi close to...

Would that be possible with the original roadblocks in place from the night before? Especially if they were looking out for him and his vehicle?

Thank you for clarifying. It just all seemed to happen so quickly and with confusion about the vehicle...and announcing/ showing images of one that was different to the original description that I couldn't help but wonder what the process was. :)
