She is irritated, too, that police seemed to make much of some muddled memories from that time. ‘It all happened on the Saturday after Christmas and they asked what we got Steven for Christmas. Who could remember that?’ says Doris. ‘I’d have got socks,’ quips Charles.
I would think that Christmas should have been ingrained in their memories ,certainly the last presents they gave Steven and what he gave them .
Agree completely. You would never forget those memories.
Also -why are they talking about the disappearance happening on the Saturday. All other reports have said Steven * disappeared * on Monday December 28.
Why would you even address this (rumour of Steven and his Dad arguing over a football ticket) unless you felt you had to explain it away?"Charles had said it was about time Steven paid for his own ticket. Steven, being tight, wouldn’t. He decided not to go. We regret that now."
"If he came up the path now I think I’d give him a good slap, then a big hug"
