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

[Sarahlou]

They appeared to have a very strange set up, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were still close even after splitting up.

Hey I’m new here but have been reading all these posts. I have a theory....
I believe the mother had way more to do with BW’S disappearance/death than most people seem to believe. I honestly just can not understand if she is no longer with the step father, why she would be covering for him?

- It makes zero sense. Could it have been the mother who committed the murder because she was jealous ? Acted out of rage ? Blamed Bernadette for the sexual abuse ? - And it was he that helped her cover it all up and not the other way around- just a thought! I just can not comprehend why a women would lie for a man that she isn’t even in a relationship with anymore! She isn’t protecting anyone but her self Just MO.

Welcome MrsBrooks.

I agree in some respects - I think the original charge of joint enterprise murder was more appropriate, in that I think they planned this, but I don't think she physically committed the murder because I don't see how the timeline supports it. I don't think she would just say 'oh you killed my daughter Scott, okay, I've got her phone so I can send some texts to make out she's still alive.' It doesn't add up, IMO. It would be her chance to turn on him and get him out of her life, in prison.

Wow, so trial starts yesterday and i got logged out of here and only just got back in. Ive been waiting for this for so long, I have been able to see what you are all thinking though. It is as we thought but it is still a shock. IMO they should still be up for joint enterprise. Scott new what he was going to do hense going to the garage before he collected B. They have been joint in everything since B's death. Put them both away for a very long time

I'm wondering whether we'll hear more about BWs paedophile rapist allegation.

Not to mention voyeurism with the hidden cameras in the bedroom and bathroom.

I think bw put the cameras there so she could get evidence of what she said scw did to her. moo

That was allegedly in the games room.

The pair of these will rot in jail and good riddance. The rucksack and phone records are key. The problem with lies are that they make less and less sense each time you hear them, whereas the truth can’t be debated.

sadly as I’m from this area, the fens are incredibly hard to locate folk. Cowbit is full of coppices, dykes, drains and marshes. They have only just found a ww2 battle tank in crowland and they knew exactly where they lost that!

Hold up.. wasn't Sarah barely like 1 month post partum when Bernie went missing?

She may have been well aware of the abuse and let it go on.

Yes.

 

[Gibbo214]

Is SW some really, really attractive person or is it that she has a good guaranteed income and a large house which attracts all these men?

 

[Snoopster]

Was SaW at CC's house because her own place was considered a possible crime scene and under control by LE? Where were the kids just prior to her arrest?

 

[Joey100]

Yes you are right. It says he planted the the cameras in the bedroom and bathroom.

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

I wonder what reason they have given for their nocturnal outings, other than a possible 'no comment'? That they were out looking for her?

 

[CSIAngus]

Begs the question, did LE recover the footage filmed from these secret cameras? I'll bet they had some interesting digital storage to examine.

That wouldn't surprise me though it's a massive imagination stretch for anyone to accept that they didn't think daylight was a good time to search for BW and instead chose the 'dead of night' as a better bet.

Bernadette Walker murder trial: Teenager’s dad ‘didn’t know’ where Bernadette got out of car, jury told

 

[Ayashley]

From the above link

"Ms Wilding said: “The contents were examined, and they tell their own tale.

There were sanitary towels, a book for her overnight stay, spare clothes, headphones, make-up, a watch, a facemask and a notebook.

A note written by Bernadette was found in the notebook.


Ms Wilding said it read: “Told my mum about dad and the abuse. She called me a liar and threatened to kill me if I told police.”

The note continued: “What kind of parent wouldn’t believe their daughter. Its fine, I’m going to pretend it is all OK until I leave home, then I will block them out of my life.”

“If I was brave enough I probably would have already left or killed myself.”

Ms Wilding said: “It is a sad post script of the last thoughts of Bernadette Walker.”"

Soooo sad.

Poor Bernadette reading that notebook entry makes you want to give her a big hug, something her mum should of been doing! Totally let down by those who should've protected her the most.
