Agree. Abduction was always the only plausible scenario. Therefore stranger abduction isn’t a surprise. However one wishes that stranger wasn’t a convicted burglar, rapist & child molester. CB really is a monster.
In the gossip clubs there are a lot of wildly unbalanced grudges against HCW. People are taking it personally.
it’s not just been HCW, there have been countless other. Be that an author, a vicar, the leader of a child exploitation service & so on. the reason is because all of those, including HCW, have 1 thing in common.
Troublingly, but not at all unexpected. This has extended to other victims. For example I’ve seen childish & senseless claims about Hazel, a victim of a rape. Again she has that same thing in common with the above. If her request to appeal is accepted, we’ll see that noise pop up again.
It’s easy to distinguish between somebody rational & somebody trying to get a rise. The shtick is sometimes worth a read, but I’m glad we have our DM group where sleuthing about CB isn’t peppered with attempts to curtail it.
