a formal statement.. ..I presume that means the woman was cautioned, and advised etc before being questioned... that's what a formal statement usually means, unless this is bad reporting...
a woman in the mix.....and her husband... crikey!!...could they all be in it together?... odd things go on at holiday homes, as I know to my enduring cost, and when that woman neighbor looks as odd as this one does....well, well, well.....
time to cut away the embroidery on the story so far....
(1)....no midnight running
(2)....no running long distance with the dog at any time
(3).. doubts now about a run that morning ( Sunday )
(4)... bed was slept in, apparently.
(5)....No texts or calls after 10.30pm Saturday from her phone.
(6).. no more searching far away, but now searching immediate vicinity of her home.
(7).... why didn't the dog bark when he heard his family car return home and the kids calling and his dogdaddy calling?... how come the dog lay doggo?.... Labs are notoriously sentimental....
