Deceased/Not Found UK - April Jones, 5, Machynlleth, Wales, 1 Oct 2012 #1 *M. Bridger guilty*

So if he did it...he is keeping his mouth shut. LE needs to find her. Unbearable to think otherwise.

I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm confused - again. Is this man a friend of her father or the father of her friend?

All i can find at the moment is the fact her was known to the family, but I will kepp looking.

Is this maybe a phrasing difference due to the area? What do the locals in the area think?

Here, my kids would probably say "them" if it was more than one person. But the UK might be different as it is with other things.

I don't want everyone to get too excited if it might just be a regional phrasing difference. Kind of like estate?

I’m in the UK down in Dorset, and I say ‘them’ as in ‘I know them’ when it’s just one person. I think it’s common to say I know them when referring to a single person.

I think its both, her father and him are friends as well as being the father of one of her own friends. Or at least that's how I'm reading it.

Link to scanner feed...

It's important to remember that anything heard live on scanner feed must stay in the forum in the Parking Lot.

Why could I not be a fly on the wall just this once. I would give anything to know what is going on in that interview today.

It is understood details about the arrest meant Mr and Mrs Jones were too upset to appear before the cameras.

I wonder what that means - particularly the use of the word 'details' (emphasis mine), which seems to imply that it was not just the arrest itself or the identity of the suspect which caused the upset.

I am from the south east of england and we also use them as well.

I think thats quite normal, the person arrested apparently was a family friend and known to the family. I think they would be deverstated to know someone they know is capable of this.

You wont hear anything on police scanners here in the UK,all the systems are now digital and scrambled...

From what I can tell, he's known to almost everyone in the town. I live in a similar sized rural town and you know most people, even if you aren't really 'friends' with them. So I'm guessing that yes he is known to them, but possibly more on an aquaintance level than friend level.

Hi All,

Has there been any progress in the search for April?

 

[wfgodot]

Hi macsleuth and welcome to WS. The progress has been incremental thus far, it seems.

 

[OtherEyes]

Hi All,

Has there been any progress in the search for April?

Not yet, still searching today.

[JanIreland]

no new updates at the moment , still searching and trying to get info from the suspect

 

[ScotsPaddy]

Theres so many questions.
Why have the police asked for people to not search,is it because theyre looking for a body?,or do they have a fairly specific area to search now so dont need extra people?.I dont believe its because of the weather..

Why did the abductor stay in the area?,did he leave area to dispose of April then return?,i mean 21hrs after the abduction he would have known of the news reports and vehicle reports etc yet hes found locally.doesnt make sense...

Are you sure its police you hear?,my bro in law works for the police on communications and the system was changed years ago.I ended up getting rid of my scanners afterwards..
