unfortunately you are going to get a load of crap from papers and you should not believe any of them they are all as bad as each other

Apologies if this is already posted -
They have impounded a dark blue suv of some type, but I thought April was abducted in a pale coloured van with no windows?
Also, that one of the children she was playing with is Bridger's daughter. He doesn't sound like a very good father but his own child would recognise him, surely?

Not sure if it has been posted but there are lots of images of today's search in this Mail article:

Does MB own a light colored van as well as the dark blue land rover?
I am confused as to the 7 year old saying it was a light colored van, then the police seize the dark blue auto. I know the girl was only 7, but I'm sure she knows her colors.

The fact that the car color was not right makes me think even more that LE has more reasons to hold this man.
Also, if it is true that two women saw a man with a bag, etc...they may be one of the 2500 who called in a tip and told the media about it, as maybe they had not been contacted yet by LE. Who knows?

Please don't tell me this is another Joanna Yeates.
The police arresting someone with maximum fanfare only to release him a couple of days later as the wrong guy...oops.

Daily Mirror just published:
"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 Machynlleth, Powys, one of the women, Carwen Sheen, 36, said: “I’ve told the police what I saw. It’s up to them now.”
She had been standing by a road chatting with a friend on Tuesday when the man appeared with the black bag.
He was said to have been acting suspiciously.
The dad of one of the witnesses said last night: “My daughter and a friend saw a man, they know him well."

This is probably nothing, but I was sleuthing around on Google Streetview and came across another Landrover Discovery, parked on one of the unnamed side-streets of Bryn y Gog. This one is a silver/grey colour. Otherwise, it is very similar to the blue one that has been in all the photos.
Obviously, the images will be from at least a year ago. I am somewhat confused about the vehicles that may be of interest. From what I can gather, the kids said it was grey, not blue (or were they talking about the van?). Something doesn't quite add up anyway.
This should take you to the very spot on Bryn y Gog, by the phonebox and the bus shelter, where you can see through the walkway (looking west). The spot is approx 80 metres north of the A489. If you aren't standing in this exact spot and looking in this exact direction you cannot see this silver Landrover.
Here is the link. It is a Google Streetview shot, so it may take 30 or 40 seconds for the page to fully load. If it doesn't work, hopefully you should be able to find it from my directions:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=machynlleth+map&hl=en&ll=52.5925,-3.841158&spn=0.000864,0.002411&safe=off&hnear=Machynlleth,+Powys,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.5925,-3.841158&panoid=qNPfY0GvrS5rDgR3DRl3HA&cbp=12,80.91,,1,8.02
Having found this vehicle, I then used Streetview to walk around to where it was actually parked. You can get closer to it, but the view is not so clear, close up, due to other cars on one side and the fact that the only other image is taken from right in front of the car, making it difficult to be sure it's a Landrover Discovery.
Google blurs out registration numbers, but in one of the shots they have been a bit lazy. They haven't bothered to blur out the reg number of the Landrover, as the shot of the plate is at an acute angle. Using the image zoomer, I got this shot and some of the numbers are visible.
I think the reg is ? 369 ???, with the first character possibly being a H. Here is the link:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=machynlleth+map&hl=en&ll=52.592526,-3.840457&spn=0.000864,0.002411&safe=off&hnear=Machynlleth,+Powys,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.592526,-3.840457&panoid=CaiJ8anYZSkPLMjgx0iNvg&cbp=12,262.41,,3,13.88
I guess it's a tight knit community, so I would imagine that this vehicle would have been quickly proven to be not involved, if it's still on the estate? Maybe it isn't though. Did MB ever own a previous Landrover? Could it be this one and though replaced, perhaps the old one was kept for parts and is still a runner? He had girlfriiends all over the estate, from the sound of things, so could have been a regular visitor when the Google cameras came through the town.
All very far-fetched. The more the story drags on, the less I am inclined to automatically assume he is the guilty man, anyway. Something just doesn't add up. He's no way a typical suspect. The crime just doesn't make sense, in any way at all. I would be more inclined to believe that if he is in any way guilty, or knows what happened, that there is someone else involved.
It also seems plausible that he might have enemies in a town like that. He's an outsider who has put it about a bit with the women around there. I agree with the previous poster that he could easily have been looking for her, dressed in waterproofs and acting independently. Obviously, he seems the most likely suspect but, as I said, it just doesn't add up properly.

Hi all, first time poster, so please be gentle with me 
If MB was in Machynlleth for parents evening on the Monday, then it puts him in the village that day and around that time. For a man who has barely a relationship with eldest son, why would he be attending a parents evening? It seems contradictory somehow. Also on another press article, cannot remember which, there was someone that said they didn't know him to speak to but he caught the same bus. For a man with a vehicle he seems to do a fair bit of walking/public transport. I'm not sure about this case, it seems so odd and his arrest does not sit right with me. AJ's parents were quick to give his name. I have to ask myself why...

I just want April to be found already, these precious babies need to stop going missing!
well the bin bag witness is local and has given her name and since the witness claims to know the man well she would simply have told the police his name , if they believe her it would certainly explain the river focus . i guess its more wait and see if they arrest someone else , find something or charge him tommorow.
