A man has been charged with murder on the say so of a 7yr old witness who should have recognised the vehicle and the person in it. MB, is not a stranger on that estate. By the time the police would have got to that witness she would have been contaminated with questions and adult gossip. No one escapes the power of suggestion.
If the police think the witness is flimsy they are likely to pour even more resources into this, or they will look like fools.
But, this close knit community clearly has info tying Bridger to April, but how we are yet to see.
Child abductions happen because of opportunity. Anyone used to being on that estate would know the children play out without any adult supervision, but what they wouldn't know, is that April would be down at the far end of the estate at that particular time and in that particular place. I find that baffling.
How far is the nearest parking area to MB's childrens house? Drivers are lazy and like to park as closely as possible.
