Interesting reading. My mind is still all over the place on this one! Strontium I particularly like your stream of consciousness as it very much mirrors my own thinking, but personally I do not believe there was a second person involved. Damn the footage in the pitch black with screeching foxes is creepy. I’m brave but that would freak me out being in that park. Fair play to you for your calmness.
LS could of course have harmed herself but firstly I think she would have been found by now and secondly I do firmly believe she was in PRs car. The vehicle on spider cam is the same one police towed away and I really do feel it’s LS getting / being helped in on the cctv. This ties in with him telling family he gave a crying girl a lift. No other girl has come forward to say it was them and so I’m going to assume it was LS. From what I’ve since read about the kind of relatively minor voyeurism crimes PRs been charged with escalating ... I’d be amazed if LS simply walked out of that vehicle unharmed.
I feel her body is in the river and sadly it’s yet to be discovered. I think PR has just been lucky (for want of a better word). I don’t believe he is particularly clever or cunningly deceptive.
I do feel the language barrier made it easier for him to sit and say ‘no comment’ or lie in interview. There’s something intimidating about a police officer looking you in the eye, pushing you for answers, but third party ... through a translator, with a gap between questions and different tonal inflection - somehow in my mind it’s a broken process with less authority. JMO.
Could he have taken her back to his house? Never in a million years if the wife and kids were home. But remember the neighbours were asked a set of questions. Didn’t one include something about who else was seen at the property? Perhaps his wife and kids were in Poland - extended stay with family - and the question isn’t about there being an additional friend or lodger staying, more to establish if the family were home? It would mean he was free to be out that evening without question. Is it unusual that there’s no neighbour footage of the arrest itself? All that police activity in the street, you’d think somebody would be out with a mobile phone capturing PR and the wife & kids being driven away?
Another question - slightly off topic - I wanted to ask long time members ... I know it was stated somewhere early on that friends or family of LS might be reading the thread. I then read the case of Susan in Scotland and saw the wonderful coming together of friends, family & strangers to an incredible conclusion. But, does anybody know if a suspect has ever read or contributed to a thread here. Just a generally eerie thought I had.
