Well, their question three is surely answered. What's the editor/ writer on about

Pretty sure we've covered #10 too, haven't we? Weird.

Sheesh, I just noticed that...very weird!

ETA I'd say that's clearly an AI generated list. Someone just asked the question then copied the answer in. Editing isn't a big thing for a lot of msm these days. Easily produced click bait is a thing though... of course this is JMO.

That’s right and so was Josie Murray’s father.

I can see his war records but no evidence of "war hero" status. Two very different things

ADMIN NOTE:

While some members may harbor some suspicion about DV in this case, it is not a known fact. Several posts discussing DV statistics have been removed.

Example: Let's say statistics showed that 1 in 5 deaths were due to heart attack, that means that 4 out of 5 weren't. If you wish to consider and speculate to some degree that DV is involved, that's fine, but do not use statistics to support such a belief.

Statistics of DV being involved in any case can only become a statistic once it has been determined that it was in fact an element of any case.

If you wish to discuss posibilities as it relates to this case specifically, that's okay, but please move on from DV generalities and statistics.

Thank you.

And now he is complaining about the media attention after willfully making a post 2 days ago on a facebook group for Gus that apparently has journos in it.

If you don't want the attention , than don't talk in the first place IMO
Why post in the first place & not just go about your own business. I think it was a very foolish thing to do in a very active major crime investigation & than cry foul when it goes pear shape.

JMO

I agree with you. I think he should leave it to the professionals to do their job. Posting about it on sm was a very silly thing to do. It may just backfire.

I think that anyone who enlisted and fought in the World Wars is considered a hero. We have no idea what nightmare situations they endured. We have no idea if they spent the rest of their lives with PTSD or another injury.

I’m a war hero (managing/battling 3 children every day) but it has nothing to do with Gus’ disappearance.

(snipped) but it has nothing to do with Gus’ disappearance.

Yes, and I am sure that none of us is surprised by the irrelevant details about Gus' family that are being published.

What did he post on a fb group? I asked drsleuth but he ignored me

Edit he/she/they

Probably because we are not allowed to discuss social media posts and comments. It is stated in the terms of service.

It's very common for outdoor toilets here to have a concrete floor.

Much more common than having a wooden floor.

Thanks for letting us know that concrete floors for outdoor toilets are not unusual there. I find the timing of pouring a new one worth questioning, though. They have better things to do since Gus' disappearance. But I notice it wasn't reported who poured it nor exactly when.

Even if lawyers did advise them to stay silent, I’d think many people would ignore that in such a case and give a carefully measured amount of information. That is, reveal a location but deny everything else and stick to an agreed story.

I think most people would stop talking if the lawyer they are paying advised it.

I wonder if the more recent properties LE are searching have had drone imaging completed and fully analyzed.

Did Police dig up the new concrete??

DBM because mentioned by others already

Did Police dig up the new concrete??

I assumed they wouldn't have had to dig it up, if they have ground penetrating radar capability

Now, now. I know that caring for young children is a huge, tiring task, but one mustn't minimize the true meaning of war heros. There were seven men in my family who gave their lives to get vulnerable people to safety during WWII. Their stories make me feel pretty humble.
