not sure he will be allowed in court if he is being called as a witness will he? I’m not sure how it all works so could be wrongI tend to agree with you about the brother now. I think he is desperately trying to prop up his Mothers story IMO. Even now with the trial started he is adamant BW is alive and hiding and urging everyone to keep sharing her missing poster. Also mentions the reward! He keeps repeating that there is no forensic evidence .If he is sure that she is alive that must also mean that he he believes his Father/ stepfather to be innocent ?
He is forbidding anyone to mention the trial on her missing group too! Surely he is following it /attending the trial? He will have seen/heard the evidence so far as we have.? If he truly believes she is alive I think he is in for a nasty shock. If they are found guilty will he still be in denial?
That's a good point. Presumably, the boyfriend knew she was lying in the media and to police but deliberately said nothing. Can't wait for his evidence.So she admits to the new boyfriend that Bernadette doesn’t have her phone. I wonder then if he said something to police when she later went on to say Bernadette had texted her after she “went missing”
Quick edit: Also confirms the grandparents are SW’s parents
How did Sarah know the original passwords to access all of these accounts?
did the stepfather force her to give them before murdering her?

If they were already saved and on booknarks on her phone, all anyone had to do was open it. For example, if someone took my phone right now they could access my FB, Twitter, Instagram - Websleuths! - all without needing any log in or password.
Yes I know, mine too
but to change a password you need to know the original one in the first place not just have auto fill
Surely she took this rucksack with her for her overnight stay at grandparents ? So do not think she would have hidden it herself beforehand? It must of been left in the car after whatever was done to her. Maybe they did just forget it was in the lock up or did not expect to be arrested ?I find the whole rucksack issue intriguing.
I agree that the contents of the rucksack seem more consistent with an overnight stay than for running away, and therefore less likely that BW placed it in the garage herself.
But if ScW/SaW placed it there, then what happened afterwards? Did they forget about it? Did they not search through it - why did they not find this note themselves? It was over six weeks between the incident and the arrests, plenty of time to have dealt with it...
So another possibility - does it serve some supportive purpose for either/both SaW and ScW's defence that we haven't quite worked out yet? Was it actually intended to be found? Was it known about by both ScW and SaW, or does it have a unilateral benefit? Are we sure, for instance, that these are BW's words, written by BW without duress, or is there another angle?
I'm sure there is far more to come on this bit.
Yeah the article says it was approved with Sarah’s phone number, like when they text you a code to make sure it’s youErm... I think maybe if you do a 'forgotten password' they send you an alert to change, for which you don't need original password - as you've forgotten it!

Link to media article above.Where did you read this please?
I think dropping the murder charge against her could aid her defence. Police aren't confident she knew Bee was going to be killed, so why should the jury believe she immediately just accepted she was dead and helped him? That fits more with believing Scott's story she ran away and sending texts from her phone to give the appearance of smoothing over any fights they had had the week before.
The CPS has screwed this up IMO. It seems more likely to me that SaW sent him out to murder her, especially sending ScW to pick her up and still not returning her phone to her.
It makes me furious since she's in court anyway. What's the harm with letting a jury decide whether they proved it or not, they can't bring charges later.
No you are right but dont know if he is a witness? If not he could go every day.not sure he will be allowed in court if he is being called as a witness will he? I’m not sure how it all works so could be wrong
Is it remotely possible this whole case is a (very sick) hoax concocted by some members of the family?
I have no idea why. Perhaps to claim compensation 'if/when' Bernadette returns alive and unhurt saying 'I just ran away for a while'.
I'm sure this probably NOT the case, but a lot of things just aren't adding up.
I guess we will know more when the parents take the stand.
Praying Bernie is safe and well somewhere. MOO.
