Reports are a presser at 4:30 p.m., but I'm not sure what time that would be in the States.

Looked a little: It seems it will be in an hour from now. It is 3:30 p.m.

I think 12:30, as England hasn't "sprung forward" (till 03.27) on time change yet. Usually it's a six hour difference but five right now.

Well, now the Wiltshire Police Twitter says 1700 hours (5:00). http://twitter.com/wiltshirepolice

On Thursday afternoon a white tent was put up outside a semi-detached house in Ashbury Avenue, near Greenbridge, in Swindon.

A Wiltshire Police spokeswoman would not comment on its significance but confirmed a number of locations were being examined.

"Forensic officers are searching the inside and the outside of the property and items brought out and put into a police van," he said.

Detectives are also searching a second location between Ashbury and Letcombe Regis, some seven miles east of Swindon.

An area of the road and the verge has been sealed-off and is being guarded by a number of police officers.

They've found her body. They have found TWO bodies.

OMG RIP Sian, I wonder who the other is?? Sounds like they have got a serial killer in custody JMO

No further information on the identity of the other person.

Anyone else been reported missing?? Any local folks here that could chime in here?

 

[SurfieTX]

LE very focused on the garage at the house. In one of the articles above, it was said that the house was "very significant" in terms of evidence (paraphrasing).

Anyone else been reported missing?? Any local folks here that could chime in here?

A 19-year-old man from Bath, James Bubear, had been missing since, I think, 13 March. Bath is about 30 miles from Swindon.

Here's the WS thread: UK - James Bubear, 19, Bath, Avon Somerset, 13 March 2011

Oh, so sad to hear this. Thinking of Sian, her family and boyfriend, and the unidentified person and all who loved him/her.

 

[SurfieTX]

Bless her heart, all just from taking a taxi at a club. She was doing what any normal young lady would do. So sad.

so sad, house being searched round corner from me - 2 bodies found!!

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Oh no.

Prayers for Sian's family and friends.

 

[wfgodot]

I must admit, I'd allowed myself to hope a bit, today - that perhaps she was being held and help was on the way.

Requiescat in pace, Sian. Rest in peace.
