Found Deceased UK - Gaia Pope, 19, Swanage, Dorset, 7 Nov 2017 #1

Do you mean the quarry at top of Panorama Road? further on from Townsend Nature reserve?

The quarry at the track south of Bell View Farm. The field the police are searching is at 50.5949087,-1.9831566.

Not sure at the moment. If she was killed then putting the clothes up there would be a good way to make it look like she ran off. Then again you would have to drive through a farm to get there and there would be far easier places to dispose of clothing. If she did run there on her own then from Morrison Road that would be the quickest way to get out of the town and into the countryside. She knows that area as there are photos of her at Durlston on Instagram and you would walk along there from Langton to get to Durlston.

Is it muddy up there? They will be forensically looking at car tyres to see if there are matches.

PE is 49 isn't he?

Seems like our suspicions were perhaps correct!

Yes. It's fair to assume that it's him who they arrested.

I thought GE's comment to the press was rather more...sheepish.

Yes. The track is used regularly by quarrymen and the farmer so if there were any tracks last week they have probably gone by now.

BREAK: 49-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder of 19-year-old Gaia Pope

Completely off topic but... God, I hate Kay Burley.

It's just odd that the area has supposedly already been searched and these items have only just been found. :thinking:
There again, it wouldn't be the first time that evidence has been missed so perhaps they have been there all along and Gaia herself left them there.

This is what gets me more suspicious about someone else turning up. And getting legal advice. Hmmm [emoji848]

"His father, Greg, exclusively told the Daily Echo: "He is with me now. We're seeing a solicitor, but he is fine."[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]He also said police have taken the keys of his daughter Debbie to search her car, which has been in Swanage for the past week.[/FONT]

I expect to hear about an arrest for perverting the course of justice too..of a 71 year old.

Are those coordinates working for others? It takes me to a road in northern France.

Dancing Ledge is at least half a mile west from where the police were. If she did go up there on foot then this would probably be the route she took. http://www.gmapgis.com/viewer.htm?qLwi1SHcZx.gmp It doesn't go past any cameras and most of the houses back onto the road so she wouldn't have been seen by many people.

Try 50°35'41.7"N 1°58'59.4"W

 

[Foxymona]

Right- we had our suspicions- now- what happened and motive? Thoughts?

 

[Amonet]

With all that police activity up there, I am thinking the clothing probably does match what Gaia was wearing.

Do you think they will be able to do much searching now that it's dark out?

How horrible for the family to have to wait even longer :-(
