Still Missing UK - Bernadette Walker, 17, left parent's car, Peterborough, 21 July 2020 *Arrests* #2

[CSIAngus]

There is a post by SaW on her Instagram @xxbumpioxx page dated the day after BW allegedly ran from the car on the 18th July. Until the 21st July, it is claimed that ScW and SaW assumed BW was stopping at a friends and would return home. However, on 19th July, the day after the last sighting of BW, SaW randomly posts about her Nanna dying and ends by saying "I could do with a nanna hug right now". There is no time stamp on the post so could be early hours after the night before and a continuation of that day, or later in the following day. Seems odd that she's thinking of the death of a loved one and how she needs a hug from the dead person within hours of her daughter's disappearance.

Just looking at aerial coverage of Peterborough up to Pode Hole and Cowbit, there's loads of pond areas not far from the A15 and A16, yet none appear to have been searched, other than the Wellend up by Cowbit and Cuckoos Hollow. If I lived near, I'd be out looking at all these sites. Are there local members?

I have been out looking over the weekend at the dolls in the woods location.

Bloody tempted now. I'll be at my dad's in Walton tomorrow, which is a ten minute walk from cuckoos hollow. Okay, I'll go have a snoop.

The impression I got from SaW's social media presence, when looked at in the round, is that she really wants to be famous, but doesn't have any talent. She twice went to the media is respect of her children's hereditary bone tumour condition. Here in 2015, after they had just moved to Century Square, Millfield, she calls herself Sarah Padley and is raising money for her daughter E via Go Fund Me (in a 2017 update she's still Sarah Padley), after her wheelchair was stolen at their previous home. She raises £2,633. The fundraising continued beyond the chair for a ground floor extension to their house.

She goes to the papers again in 2017 for her son A seeking everyone to send him get well soon cards to put a smile on his face after surgery. This time she's Sarah Walker. There's another Go Fund Me account for donations. Only raises £120 this time.

Her face is published in both stories which are as much about saying how nice she is as about the children. Do we know when she and the kids stopped being Padley and became Walker, or has she maintained two identities throughout?

Christ, is she dictating the headlines?

In a few years this'll be an episode of a true crime series, featuring incredibly dull commentary by Emma Kenny and the like, describing SaW's Histrionic Personality Disorder, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or whichever one it is.

One further thought about the daughter E Go Fund Me being extended to raise money for a house extension: I have read in several news articles that their 5 bedroomed house was council-owned, so I would be surprised if they would be allowed to add their own build. Do we know the house number and whether it was privately-owned, shared ownership, local authority-owned, or housing association?

Here she's organising a football match for E's wheelchair as Padley with daughter as Walker.

When you have a child with a disability or chronic illness, especially a rare one, this isn't unusual or narcissistic - A, you want publicly for the illness because it helps to put you in touch with others in the same boat and if more people understand the better & B, wheelchairs, adaptions & anything a child needs isn't just handed to you on a plate for free by some service or other.

That's not to say that Sarah Walker isn't narcissistic.

I have a friend whose child has exactly the same condition and he's always trying to raise money. Just pointing out that from what we've gleaned about SaW, reaching out to a tabloid for an appeal of this nature might be partly motivated by self-interest. I don't doubt she loves her kids, but she also loves the spotlight.

The family lived near these woods before moving to Century Square.

Surely police would have scouted there, no?

They only appear to have searched specific areas which have led most of us on here to presume that was based on mobile phone pings; either BW's and/or ScW/SaWs. However, they had 3 days to conceal BW's body so it could literally be anywhere. I would suggest it is in a location familiar to ScW, where he would feel secure doing what he was doing, rather than a random burial or a body abandonment. He's pleading not guilty because he's pretty confident her body will not be found, which is always difficult for prosecuters. The longer she's not found, the less forensic evidence will be found, including sexual assault and cause of death.

Sorry if we've already spoken about this, but does anyone know if the patio was searched?

You'd have thought the Police would have thrown the kitchen sink at any property occupied by the family and any which they had access to, including ScW's parents property.

As far as I'm aware the only properties searched in Peterborough were their house and the garages in Churchfield Road. Maybe they found everything they needed from those two searched? Then again probably not, as they haven't found the body.

Can't remember where I read this but wasn't SaW originally a locksmith? And property maintenance?

I've answered my own question. ScW was according to the LinkedIn page for the company the Managing Director of HiH Property Maintenance & Premierlox

https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-walker-a8413141/?originalSubdomain=uk

who also had a twitter account - @HihMaintenance - active 2011-13.

Skill in cracking locks would be useful to an offender. Do we know what he did before this? Did he still keep his hand in?

 

[CSIAngus]

There's also a FB page for the company but it has lots of personal stuff on it:

Hih-maintenance Property-maintenance

Includes some images of horse paddocks and buildings at Crowland, just off the A16 between Peterborough and Cowbit.

One of the things that strikes me about ScW is that across all of the various social media platforms and accounts, compared to the number of posts he did, he very very rarely gets any likes and hardly any followers. It's almost like he's talking to himself.

Can anyone identify the buildings and farmland at Crowland? I've tried in vein on Google satelite view. You can zoom in on a few to see buildings in the distance.

Quite the local handyman. Shouldn't judge but his co-worker in the fencing pics looks like a right bruiser. Straight out of Belmarsh.

I'm very interested to see the horse paddock pics but can't find them?
