Wondered the same thing for several days, particularly as SH, in the tv interview, appeared emphatic she had taken 'nothing' with her when she supposedly left CS's house to go shopping. Most girls take a bag, even an apparently small one as shown in the cctv image, in which to keep their money, phone, tissues, lip-gloss, etc. They automatically grab their bag - it's 'part of' them, usually. And if as SH claimed, she took nothing - where did she keep the money he supposedly gave her ... in her jeans pocket? And if they weren't jean but leggings which have no pocket as far as I know, what did she do with money she'd need to pay her bus fare -- keep it in her sock, or hold it in her hand, remembering she'd be required to carry loose change after paying the bus fare?

I don't know. Don't think I give her that much credit, considering she continued with the facade, continued living in that place, continued for the sake of the media prior to the final search to say she didn't know anything ... didn't know where Tia was or who was responsible and just wanted her back with the T-shirts on a bonfire
This is the same woman who lost composure with media when reversing her car. Yet she could control herself if she suspected, let alone knew, that her lover had killed the grandchild who was supposedly her life
In my opinion, if CS had even an inkling SH was involved, it was a case of ' Sorry Tia, but saving face, maintaining my life such as it is, evading the little problems that accompany murder are more important to me than you. You're dead. I'm alive '
Still can't understand why police have reportedly stated there's a possibility Tia may have still been alive when they carried out the first search when it's simultaneously been reported the child's body was in such an advanced stage of composition that identification was only achieved via dental records
BBM Not sure that they have. I thought that was just the media's suggestion. Media sensationalising the Met's apology was what I thought that was about
I don't know either. I've gone all over the place on this. I just keep having to remind myself that just beacuse she hasn't been charged with anything yet doesn't mean she won't be at a later date. Also, it's a very different thing having a feeling about something and having the evidence to be able to prove it.
When I first heard the SH interview and that she was supposed to have came downstairs at 10.30 'ish and left at 12.10, it struck me that the timing was completely off. In 1hr and 40 mins she's supposed to have came downstairs, played with the Nintendo DS, ate toast followed by sausage rolls (a minimum of 15mins for both items to heat up and a minimum of 15 mins to eat them) leaving an hour and 10 mins to play the Nintendo, have a conversation about flipflops, the bike scratching her knee etc, go upstairs and get changed etc. It just didn't add up. I've got a son and two young nieces and even my son can take up to an hour getting changed. My nieces wouldn't go out of the door without making sure their hair and clothes were perfect either.
Am I right in thinking that bodies decompose much faster when exposed to air than water, etc etc. In which case, if she was so tightly wrapped that the smell failed to leak out, then was decomposition really so fast in 8 days that dental records were required?
Just beginning to think maybe she had been dead a lot longer than we previously have thought, but the CCTV contradicts that theory entirely. That CCTV image is dubious: but, and without wanting to sound crude or anything like that, the girl's body is very child like in that image especially around the breasts/shoulders: I don't think it could possibly be NS.

Looking at the rather blurred cctv image of Tia at the Co-op (last confirmed sighting) .... it is probably just me, but it looks more like NS than it does the pictures we've seen of Tia, esp as she is described as being "slight" and small for her age.
Perhaps there was another reason why she was so badly decomposed, perhaps she had bad injuries (they only said they could not ascertain the cause of death), they never said that they could not find injuries/evidence of sexual assault/other non-life threatening injuries.
Perhaps her face was disfigured postmortem......
All they said about the medical examiners report is that they could not find a cause of death, and that the body was identified by dental records due to bad decomposition....but they never mentioned what they could ascertain.
you could be right, I am brain fried and should be thrown off the case.Oh. I thought they'd said there were no visible signs of trauma ?

Is postmortem damage also trauma?
Yes, the hyoid process.Based simply in other cases, 'visible signs of trauma' would include, I suppose, things such as knife and bullet wounds, broken bones including the skull, ligature marks, burns, etc. Strangulation is indicated (I've read) from a broken bone inside the neck (hyoid?) and from reddish staining at the base of teeth
Yes, the hyoid process.
