Just wanted to respond this one. All forces in England should take dna and fingerprints for all recordable offences. Burglary is a recordable offence and therefore biometrics (dna and fingerprints) should be take.
You have to admit if he hasn't got anything to do with her disappearance he is the unluckiest person in the world.In my opinion. This guy that the police arrested is just a small time flash your bits about tea leaf, i just don't see any signs of kidnap or murder. Will be interesting to see what avenue of investigation the police take next over the next few days,
May also be because the occupants don't use their sex toys every day and only noticed they were missing when they went to use them...Vague dates of incidents may be due to trespass as opposed to breaking in?
I meant would then send a full team out to collect DNA from every burglary? The DNA sample number would be astronomical. I expect fingerprints if their were any. I understand they take DNA from every arrest.Just wanted to respond this one. All forces in England should take dna and fingerprints for all recordable offences.

This is what is sitting a bit odd with me. It is not a quiet area. It was a busy student night. You’d be hard pushed to get a quiet random half hour at that time.
Hiding place wasn’t very clever but I don’t think many people’s minds could have went to where she ended up, it was that gruesome. A case most of us will remember for our lifetime.
In a shared house you'd expect someone to hide them, so yes, they would only miss them the next time they went to use them.May also be because the occupants don't use their sex toys every day and only noticed they were missing when they went to use them...

(O/T, As I mentioned I’m in the USA and now realizing there is a lot I don’t know about UK criminal procedure, MP investigations over there, etc., so I’m feeling limited as far as weighing in on certain things as I normally would but just wanted to say thank you everyone for this discussion, I think it’s awesome when people from around the globe can come together for a common purpose.
I was glad to come across this link in my research as a result of Libby’s case and link it to the WS Resources and Database Section for the UK:
UK - UK Missing Persons Unit

And the police will be eating humble pie for a very long timeYou have to admit if he hasn't got anything to do with her disappearance he is the unluckiest person in the world.
Remarkably the scum bags had managed to completely clean all evidence out of the bathroom. Far harder than dumping a body somewhere it won't be found. Taking it around to your mates house for safe keeping has to be one of the dumbest things anyone could do.The point is more that the sophistication level was "give the body to some mates"
Shows how hard it can be to find the evidence
Agree they will have wasted an enormous amount of time and resources at a critical stage of the investigation.And the police will be eating humble pie for a very long time
We were burgled once and the police did attend. Months later we got a letter from the cops saying the guy had been caught by them breaking in to another house and to get a lesser sentence he'd given them a list of houses he'd done and ours was one of them.Agreed... I was burgled whilst in bed, they actually walked in my bedroom and I woke up (2 guys).
Luckily they ran off as I screamed bloody murder (well actually shouted initially as thought it was my son out of bed playing me up at first as he had been in and out of bed all night lol)
Police took fingerprints and footprint evidence and they got them months later as they got caught robbing fishing tackle out of someone's shed.
Don't think it happens all the time though as I've known people be burgled and say police never turned up (unless that's a lie).
DNA for a burglary, not a chance, finger prints maybe.I meant would then send a full team out to collect DNA from every burglary? The DNA sample number would be astronomical. I expect fingerprints if their were any. I understand they take DNA from every arrest.
Burglars can be quite prolific, especially if they are not greedy, often small items or small amounts of cash are not missed or written off without any thought that someone had taken them.We were burgled once and the police did attend.
