I always thought stressing someone wasn't a suspect was to get them to come forward and that they might become a suspect. Tho grey beard clearly isn't and had been very helpfulI have a question I’m not sure has been asked, why did they start searching so quickly (before the usual 24 hours?) I initially thought because LS was high risk but now I’m not sure of the police thinking from the start. They asked for help finding grey beard and stressed he wasn’t a suspect, how did they know he wasn’t a suspect at that point before even finding him? Is it possible they knew she may have been kidnapped/taken from the beginning? Or would that just be a general precaution they took with the case?

In addition to the cold and her intoxication there would also have been the dodgy crimes of flashing and knicker nicking that PRs subsequently been charged with. I got the impression after his arrest that there were more than he's been charged with. Lots sound quite recent.
One of those was masturbating in the road where she lived which was week or so before. The theft of knickers, photos and sex toys was days before. If police had evidence linking those which is likely that would trigger asditional concerns for her welfare as well
