Deceased/Not Found UK - April Jones, 5, Machynlleth, Wales, 1 Oct 2012 #4 *M. Bridger guilty*

[Inge Jones]

You're right, I did.

So intent - isn't that terribly hard to prove? When LE charged him they said it was because of the results of the forensic analysis they had conducted on the house and car. How do forensics prove intent? If there was for example blood or other fluids, how can you distinguish between an intended killing and an accidental one?

The other charges, of course, there are more obvious, but the murder charge kind of baffles me.

It may be hard to prove if the body is not found, and no evidence of struggle or weapons. It may be possible to get it past a jury if more than one person can witness that he displayed anger towards the Jones's shortly before April disappeared.

Good point, especially as there is a thriving Facebook page called "Hang Mark Bridger"

My God, imagine he gets acquitted! :what:

From Wales online today

Members of Brecon Mountain Rescue Team have returned to Machynlleth to rejoin the search for missing April Jones.
Mountain rescue teams were stood down the previous week after the mammoth search failed to find the missing five-year-old.
But 14 members of Brecon MRT returned to the town on Sunday to target specific areas identified by Dyfed-Powys Police.
......
Mr Woodhead added: “The search for April is continuing which was why we returned to Machynlleth on Sunday to intensively search areas identified by Dyfed-Powys Police. Fourteen members and two dogs from SARDA, South Wales dog search and rescue, returned to the town.

My God, imagine he gets acquitted! :what:

There are people who just want *someone* to blame when a child disappears, and can't cope with not knowing who.

It doesn't, but it reveals a lot about MB's personality.

Looking at photos of many connected with April and MB, the common thread is tatts.

Is it proper to start copying photos from someone's facebook page? Not sure of the law on this, but it seems unethical to me?

no... it is not proper. And here is the link to the rule:

Social Networks

Regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking or blog websites: Links may be used to direct posters to view something on a social networking page. But postings on social networking sites are not considered fact; they are rumor. Copying and pasting, or taking screen caps, directly from these pages is not allowed. Paraphrasing is okay. (Exception: If the Twitter or Facebook post belongs to a verified news station, it may be copied. But a link should still be provided.)

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect. We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player. We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!

Have police used sonar across the lake near MB's house?

 

[uk_sleuth]

Hey Clutchbag! I figured it wasn't MB because of the age/description of the man. But there wasn't any further description of the Land Rover other than it was a Discovery. Do you see where i'm gong with this?

So i got thinking... The 7 yr old witness, was female? How much would someone that age Know about cars? Under pressure in an interview, if it was a similar vehicle to MB's or even the same, presuming she was familiar with MB's Land Rover Disco, how would she describe a vehicle fitting that description?

Does that make sense?

 

[veggiefan]

How does it help knowing whether the houses are privately owned or not?

No idea. You need to ask the person who asked the question.

"And after that romance ended he started seeing Vicky Fenner who also lived on the same street as April’s family."

Intriguing...thank you!

It was a rethorical question. If you had read my entire post you would understand that.

It gives you an idea of the kind of community living there.

Homeowners are likely to live in an area for longer, since they invested capital there. People who rent (from the council or otherwise) may be people who are not that stable in terms of the longevity of their stay.

At least that is how it works in most parts of the world.

Also intriguing that he only appears on the electoral register for 2002 and that was with EG.

According to the BBC communities website, that estate is known as a "ghetto". Looking at it I can understand why and my personal assumption would be the houses on the outer of the estate are purchased as the inner section looks quite poor and deprived. April lived on the inner section.

 

[PADDYWHACK]

Has anyone discovered yet if April was at the parents meeting? The council stated she was playing outside on her bike while the parents attended. Surely there would be witnesses to this fact. Also, how likely is it for a 7yr old to know it was 7pm when April was abducted? Is it possible she could have been missing since 3.30pm that day?
