[Skigh]

They said she had her keys and phone with her but have only mentioned the phone has missing

They have not specified exactly what is still missing.
Have they found her clothes?

They have not specified exactly what is still missing.
Have they found her clothes?

In one of the commentary’s after the court appearance it was stated item’s were still missing but they didn’t say what those items were.

The phone is the only item that has been publicly specified as missing as far as I know

 

[Spender]

She had walked past the alleyway leading up to the back of her house though.

I doubt she would have been able to see from her window that far down near the pub

If you look at the attached pic you will see access to the rear of the property can be made from both sides of the block of houses where she lived. So if she had seen some activity , not necessarily as far down as the pub she had two choices of how to get round ...the pub end or the other. If that were the case she sadly made the wrong choice MOO

Has it been reported that her clothes were missing?

When LE formally identified LB body and released a statement and the end it said
______

As a reminder Lindsay was last seen wearing a purple Rab bubble jacket, black leggings, a white shirt with blue pin stripes and black trainers with a white sole. Her Huawei mobile phone is also missing.

But with the case progress since this statement above and LE charging 16 year old fingers crossed they've recovered all this evidence

I'm sorry I can't upload pictures.... the picture below shows 2 police cars outside her house, if you look at the red car in front of the police cars it doesn't take much to deduce that maybe her car, going off the number plate...L1 BCK...IMO


Heavy police presence near Accrington Cemetery as investigation into Lindsay Birbeck's murder continues

I haven't seen nor heard of any Scenes of Crime at her address, just the police parked outside.

Did Lindsay live bang opposite the cemetery?

 

[GoldenFlower]

She lived on the block before the bungalows facing the cemetery

 

[Kaykedi]

Thank you Gol

She lived on the block before the bungalows facing the cemetery

Goldenflower. I just can't believe it

 

[Smccat]

I've wondered about that too. Was he watching her or obsessed with her somehow? Or was this truly just a random act.

Just catching up but casing and stalking is a possibility

Yeah, roughly here, assuming the pic in the link is showing Lindsay's house (I think it is).

 

[nicjhis]

It’s really hard to say from looking at an aerial photo exactly what LB could see from her window. It seems like there was a reason she likely ended up around the back of the pub of thereabouts.

Thank you so much. I just can't believe that this poor soul was "placed" in a cemetery directly opposite her home

 

[Smccat]

Could it be at all possible that the suspect had family or connections in one of the houses between LB and the Whittaker’s?
In the Alesha MacPhail case some of the most incriminating evidence came off of the cctv to his own home.

How far is that from Accrington, if you know?

If he pleaded guilty there is still a form of court process to go through which will entail a hearing for him to formally enter his plea followed by any mitigation and sentencing reports and then the actual sentencing hearing at crown court. It would all happen pretty quickly or as soon as the court system will allow AND as soon as the police prosecution file is completed with enough evidence contained within to support the charge of murder and to fulfill the requirements of CPS charging criteria This is in the event that further down the line for whatever reason, no appeals are made that the suspect didn’t understand what he was pleading guilty to etc especially with him being a juvenile

Does the UK have something similar to the US "Alford" plea, where the suspect maintains his innocence but acknowledges the prosecution has enough evidence to convict? In other words, the suspect bows to a guilty plea, but asserts innocence?

No. You can plead guilty or not guilty. Pleading guilty but you didn't do it is the same as pleading not guilty. It's not accepted as a guilty plea.

It's a lovely area where Lindsay lived. And, was found

That’s correct...that part of Burnley Road is known locally as Huncoat
