Exactly right, all answered on the closed thread.
Superintendent Ian John told WalesOnline that 90 of the 135 officers looking for April were now concentrating on the small village of Ceinws.
......
He said: Today we have a huge amount of activity in Ceinws. We have 90 officers there, were [Bridger] was arrested and where he was living, but what I'm telling people is not to get too excited about it because there isn't any intelligence which has led us specifically there.
Dyfed Powys Police have said that the search of April Jones' home town of Machynlleth is almost complete.
Superintendent Ian John, who is leading the search, said that focus is now turning to the village of Ceinws where suspect Mark Bridger used to live. He said:
"We've nearly completed our searches here [in Machynlleth] and we're now focusing our search operation today in the Ceinws area and for the rest of the weekend if we shouldn't find April today, throughout this weekend in and around the surrounding towns and villages.
Why? is it because it was initially reported that they had returned home and April was allowed to play outside for a while?
The council told sky news they had left by 3.30. Confusing isn't it.
Odd isn't it? The press are saying she vanished from outside her house while her mother went inside to make tea, but the council confirm them all to be at a parents evening with April playing outside the school on her bike.
I assumed dogs were very good at following scents. I guess this means if April is dead, her body is not in the local region?What made you think they weren't? They have even been using dogs specially trained for water.

Just saw the story in the Telegraph regarding mechanical diggers being brought in to help with the search (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...nto-Welsh-village-in-hunt-for-schoolgirl.html) and have to say that this case gets more baffling to me, not less, as time goes on.
If MB is the perpetrator and the crime was premeditated then he would have known ahead of time how he would dispose of the 'evidence.' If not premeditated, he would have had to act on the spur of the moment. So, would he have disposed of the evidence in a river where it can wash ashore at an unknown time in the future? I'm not convinced. Would he have buried the evidence so deeply and successfully that mechanical diggers needed to be brought in to recover the evidence? Unless he's Superman, isn't it unlikely he could do that so that only a machine could uncover the evidence within the time frame, unless he also had a machine to help him.
An odd question to ask but I am interested in how you would dispose of 'evidence' if you a) premeditated a similar crime, or b) acted on the spur of the moment, using the same timeline/ circumstances as a guideline?
Perhaps he did drive far away, or at least to an area not yet searched, but what I have been wondering is, how and where do abattoirs dispose of their 'leftovers?'
If a vehicle was seen by garages, I would search the garages, but I'm sure the police would have done that. Given the time of abduction to the police being notified, I would have thought it impossible for a local person to safely dispose of a body. Mark Bridger knows all about rivers, he would know the body would eventually show up downstream at a later date. A cold and callous person would weight the body and drop it down a flooded mineshaft.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 high? Or have been burned?
Also, "They report studies which conclude in the majority of cases (72%), the radius from body recovery site to murder scene is less than 200 feet. The distribution was different when it came to journey from the initial contact setting to the murder site: 31% travelled 0-199 feet, whereas 43% trekked 1.5-12 miles.
In our clinical experience, these geographical patterns contribute enormously to the emotional distress for police involved in these cases. They always know time is fast running out, yet they may have extensive areas to search. But eventually, most frequently, the child is still discovered close to home."
I have been wondering since day one how extensively the area around where April was last seen has been searched. Does anyone know or have any thoughts?
