Deceased/Not Found UK - April Jones, 5, Machynlleth, Wales, 1 Oct 2012 #1 *M. Bridger guilty*

This doesn't sound good.. I had a feeling this poor girls chances of survival were slim.

 

[wfgodot]

Good morning (afternoon!) all. I pray she's found, safe and sound and soon today.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

I don't know why, but for some reason I'm getting the feeling this was a "here little girl, I have candy!" or "can you help me find my lost dog?" or "I'll take you home to your parents." stranger abduction that you see played out in movies.

I strongly feel the family was not involved, nor was it anyone they know. I'm leaning towards a stranger abduction, which is scary.

Praying for you, sweet April.

Sounds like it could be more information and new leads. I really hope so.

The estate is surrounded on three sides by tree-covered hills and at the centre of it is a series of open greens used by local children. Unattended bicycles and balls frequently litter the grass areas, considered safe from thieves on the close-knit estate.

I assume 4:30 UK time right?

Next door neighbour Millie Hearne, seven, is the key witness in the hunt for the mystery man who abducted April, five, as they played together.

Tearful Millie has given police the only description of the mystery man who snatched April off the street where she was playing at 7pm on Monday evening.

What do they mean by estate... like a private persons mansion???

Or neighborhood?

Yes, it will be UK time - 25 minutes from now

A housing estate. Neighborhood, basically, but houses built at same time. (Wiki link)

We call planned groups of houses 'estates'. My Scottish OH would call them 'schemes'. This is a Local Authority built estate, therefore would be known as a 'council estate', with the houses built for the express purpose that they are rented to the residents, who in turn would have to apply to live there.

Over the past 20-30 years, many of these 'council houses' have been sold off to private owners - usually the residents who had lived there for a qualifying number of years.

Just to confuse matters, we would also call a private mansion an estate, the property and land left by a deceased person (even if it is just a garden shed), an estate, and a car very similar to your station wagon would also be called an estate

We clearly like to keep folk confused, including ourselves

I never realised until now how confusing we actually are

 

[wfgodot]

Did we know the vehicle "could have been a left-hand drive"? Catching up on liveblogs.

The word 'scheme' there has a much different connotation than it does here as well.

No confirmation as yet, but they believe she got in the van on what would have been the drivers side, so they are suspecting that it could be.

Yes, we had discussed this. All cars made for the British market are right hand drive. All cars made for the European market are left hand drive, hence we were discussing the possibility of it being a vehicle more commonly found on the continent. We have an increasing number of migrants, particularly from Eastern Europe, and also tourists. It is not uncommon to see foreign registered, left hand drive vehicles on the roads.

I hope and pray she is found safe!

One thing that is kind of bothering me though...

The news are reporting that she was last seen at 7:30pm last night.

Now why has the Godmother said Aprils mother rang her at 6:50pm last night saying "April has been kidnapped"

http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/nor...of-april-jones-tells-of-shock-55578-31949985/

Surely that is a misprint of time in the article?
