    Under those circumstances, it wouldn't be uncommon, but apparently there had been 65 calls to the family address down the years. That shouldn't be handwaved lightly. I agree that people often don’t remember everyday moments, like a gas station stop unless something stands out. That said, the...

    MN MN - Amy Pagnac, 13, Osseo, 5 Aug 1989

    Hadn't the police been called to the home on multiple occasions? Didn't Amy have a history of running away? This was clearly not a happy or stable homelife. The problem for me is there's no independent witness that confirms Amy was at the gas station, or even with her father that day. It's...

    UK UK - Andrew Gosden, 14, Doncaster, South Yorks, 14 Sep 2007 #2

    No, because Andrew wouldn't need to lie about visiting London at the weekend. He might need a cover story for WHY he was going there, if he was meeting up with someone secret, which I strongly suspect was the case. Some people believe Andrew took his own life. That's not a theory I've ever...

    UK UK - Andrew Gosden, 14, Doncaster, South Yorks, 14 Sep 2007 #2

    If Andrew just wanted to go to London for the day, why didn't he wait until the weekend? Why risk ruining his school record and upsetting his family by bunking off? Apparently, Andrew's parents had let his sister go to London when she was 14, so, theoretically they wouldn't have had a problem...

    That's a definite possibility. Both girls disappeared from North Rhine-Westphalia, both of them told loved ones they would return soon, and there wasn't too much time between them.

    Apparently, someone claiming to be that person wrote anonymously to the BBC and claimed it was regarding a possible sighting of Andrew in Shrewsbury, but who knows if they were telling the truth on either count. Did Leominster police station really not have CCTV to record the person who visited...

    Anyone suspect the answers to Andrew's disappearance could be closer to home? Rather than an internet stranger luring him to London, I wonder if there was someone in Doncaster who convinced Andrew to play hooky for the day and have some fun down south, which ended in foul play?

    Again, I believe you are underestimating that large-scale, coordinated searches miss bodies more often than you think. The complexity of the terrain in Yosemite has numerous blind drops, talus fields, crevices, dense patches of vegetation, and boulder mazes where a body can be completely...

    An abduction would be unlikely to say the least. They would've had to drag her for miles to the nearest road, and no rangers or hikers saw anything amiss. I think people are underestimating just how easy it is to get turnaround on yourself and lost, even for experienced hikers, and the sheer...

    It's not so weird if you consider that Stacy may have walked off the beaten track. Wasn't Stacy seen standing on a rock about 50 yards south of the trail? If she was trying to get a good vantage point to take a scenic photo, I could easily see her slipping and falling into a blind spot...

    Especially not from AI slop videos.

    I'm surprised I've never heard of this case before. 'Overalls Man' is obviously the prime suspect. The interesting thing is he didn't avoid drawing attention to himself, knocking around the neighbourhood asking for directions, acting suspiciously in the shop, kicking up grass, left DNA...

    Of course, there's always risks when visiting a major metropolitan city, especially for a kid from a sheltered home life, but it would be extremely bad luck for Andrew to encounter a sexual predator on the one day he decides to skip school and visit London. For that reason, I tend to lean more...

    A lot of this case depends on if you believe Andrew cut loose and went on a solo adventure only to be preyed on by an opportunistic predator, or if he had plans to meet someone and that individual harmed him. The sighting at Oxford Street Pizza Hut was a lone sighting, which might support the...

    It's a person with the same build as Andrew, with the same hairstyle, wearing a black graphic tee, carrying a dark satchel, walking down Andrew's street at the time he bunked off. It's Andrew.
