From Germany your post (the initial one from more than 24hours ago) just blew me away and from being along time reader I just had to register and post ! (it's taken this long to get permission/access to post) Karen is always in mythoughts and I am going stir crazy with expectation of an arrest: so Ican only imagine just how much the perp(s) are squirming around. I am attached tomy phone, constantly refreshing websleuths!
There’s been an amazing wealth of analysis throughout thethreads: you are all so amazing and a lifeline of sanity during this agonisingwait.
For me, I haven’t been able to really understand the lengthof time between Karen going missing and then the recorded report (in the diaryof the cyclist which no doubt you amazing sleuthers can rattle the dates) ofthe smells in the forest. The time connection seemed so far apart. It may bethat the lime helped in that regard but I believe that Karen was transported tothat site at a later date and the fact that BR (and associates) would have accessto additional refrigeration, would seem to be a perfect solution. We have adeep freezer at home and it would be a simple task to fit any person in there!
I also hear truth in Ant’s comments that Karen may haveintended to leave when SR turned 21. Growing up, us kids would often hear mymother yell “as soon as you kids finish school: im leaving your father” whichshe did and which I never doubted that she would do.
It is also well within reason that there was a heatedargument at home at night, the night before she was due at the store, whenKaren went “ballistic”. It is not unreasonable for me to imagine that SR mayhave inadvertently caused Karen harm (or eg a hit or push in the throw of an argument) which as a loving protective father BR hascovered up: I much prefer to believe that this was not the case: it's just that the report is that she is not talking to LE.
Alternatively, following Karen’s “ballistic” episode I wouldexpect Karen would either:
(a) go to her room to pack her bags to leave (assuming shedidn’t already have them packed had they fought often) BR could have ended herthen – how, I don’t know:
(b) stride into a spare bedroom (a non marital bedroom) andplonk herself down to calm down (BR could have smothered her with a pillowwhilst she lay in the separate bed perhaps listening to music withearphones….but I’m not sure whether BR would be strong enough) or
(c ) leave the house to cool down – but this gets into thewhole messy BR story which I think none of us believe that Karen ever left thehouse alive...
SR says she was home the morning that Karen was due to go towork. I don’t believe this. I wonder whether the police have taken a statementfrom SR’s boyfriend to check where he believed she was. No doubt the policealready have SR phone records: they will show her location if she used themobile. If SR had a hand in it on the night Karen went “ballistic” then Ibelieve BR would have told SR to stay in her room until morning and that hewould deal with it, or he would have told her leave the house that night/ or SRchose to leave the house that night with an agreed plan and explanation aboutwhat they would both say over the coming days.
The words ““I know you would never do this to me, becauseI'm an only child” leads me to believe that in SR’s mind the thing that Karenwould never do, is leave her, and Karen must have told them (or BR told SR that's what karen had said) that she had hadenough and was leaving.
Steve Richardson, my heart goes out to you and your familyand you must know that we are all praying and awaiting a super strapped up andwater tight case from the police.
IMHOO
