Apparently the police have been searching the cemetery all week.
From the Lancashire Telegraph:
One visitor Malcolm Taylor, 71, from Rishton was on his weekly trip to tend family graves. He said yesterday: “Every day this week I have seen police officers sweeping up and down the cemetery in a line.
“They appeared to be looking at graves and searching for someone. “I’ve seen police again today. I am just shocked by what is happening.”
John Matthews, aged 48 from Huncoat said: “I’ve seen a load of police cars and vans at the cemetery and they have been at the Coppice as well during the week looking round there. “It’s disturbing what’s happened and I’m very shocked.”
If the 'object' has anything to do with Lindsay then surely the police would have found it before last night after all the searching they were doing in the week?
