Do you remember where you read this? I've always struggled to find much said about his online activity, so any sources where they've elaborated a bit more would be interesting to read.

Yes, pretty much. Keep in mind that the online theory is so brushed over by his parents and all the articles I've found that it's hard to know to what extent they actually investigated it. Therefore, I find that we have to pick at sentences to try and work out what the investigation of his...

I've posted before about the online theory, and I think it's a mistake to ignore it entirely because the police claimed they "checked the computers". The two posts I made below explain why UK - UK - Andrew Gosden, 14, Doncaster, South Yorks, 14 Sep 2007 #2 UK - UK - Andrew Gosden, 14...

If I was a 14 year old boy bunking off school with the potential plan to stay overnight at a relatives, I think this is how my thought process would go: Ticket to King's Cross, please. That will be X amount. Or do you want a return, it's only £1 more? No, thanks. Are you sure? Please stop...

Gosden, Andrew Sept 14 2007

Good video. He basically comes to the same conclusion that we've been talking about over the past couple of pages, though without explicitly stating he thinks it's online: "I think Andrew was motivated by an external influence, probably another person." He also thinks suicide and starting a...

That's how I see it too. I'd be very interested if they ever asked his friends about this too. I think his parents entirely discounting the idea is a large part of why this theory doesn't seem to be pursued. Whenever it's brought up they always just say the police checked the computers and he...

I've never understood the relevance of the charger. I assume people think about it in regards to him potentially planning an extended stay? If we view it in regards to the theory I posted above, where he goes to London to meet someone then comes home soon after, it makes complete sense why he...

I've found something interesting about the "National Association for Gifted and Talented Youth" course that Andrew attended at summer school in 2006 (confirmed as 2006 by Kevin's dad). The Tavistock Institute wrote a report titled "Impact Assessment of ICT-based Initiatives". In this report...

With you being in the same county, that's a really interesting and potentially important piece of information towards this theory. Based on the sentence about how the police "took the computers", I thought it was unlikely that there would have been dedicated logins, but the fact that you've...

I decided to look around to see if I could find anything beyond "oh, the police checked it" regarding Andrew's school internet access, and I came across something quite interesting in a Vice article: The Mystery Behind the Strange Disappearance of a 14-Year-Old English Boy The key section is...

It ticks a lot of boxes, doesn't it. Without the red herring of "he didn't have internet access" I don't think this case would be discussed to the degree it is. Everyone would just instantly think he was groomed. I've never read anything that said how they apparently checked Andrew's internet...

@Kitkat28 summed up pretty much my exact thoughts: Could have been, but speaking as someone who was a 14 year old boy, the motivation to meet a girl would be far higher!

It wouldn't be possible for an ISP to provide search history for Andrew's specific user account within an entire school. They could potentially provide metadata for the school's IP addresses (though this was 2007 and tracking wasn't as intrusive as it is now), but it would be a huge bundle of...
