Found Deceased UK - Lindsay Birbeck, 47, Accrington, 12 Aug 2019 *Arrest*

[CharlestonGal]

I think that's what LE is trying to figure out now. Where has Lindsay/Lindsay's body been between the time of her disappearance and the discovery of her body.

He will be when they find him. Which SM has already done.

Yes and I would imagine he’s been brought in already, surely. Especially because LE is even calling him a suspect. Which makes me wonder—are we allowed to sleuth him? I’m personally conflicted about that anyway b/c I almost find it hard to believe anyone would do that. I’m hoping it’s unrelated.

Lets hope he doesnt travel off anywhere

I think if he skips town he'll have police forces all over the country looking for him.

If he's got nothing to do with the crime, it would be terrifying to hand himself in but that is the best thing so that he can give fingerprint and blood/dna samples and clear his name (which could be released along with clearer images of him if he skips).

With a crime like this he's likely to be spotted somewhere by someone wherever he goes.

His name hasn't been released, so there's definitely no sleuthing until he's officially named. Social media posts saying "maybe it's Jim who lives down the road from me" don't count.

Well worth reading the FB comments on Lanc’s Live etc, it’s apparent a name has been tipped in by many, along with a lot of other information that may actually rule out this guy OR provide an explanation of where Lindsay may have been for the duration.

Bin wars are common in Lancashire
Bins in the back streets of terraced houses mostly tend to go walkies if you’re not quick enough bringing them back in - and many complain the council sometimes takes months to replace them! So definitely not registered to particular households. Luckily, in our quiet cul-de-sac, the worst we have to endure is the bin men refusing to take our bin because I haven’t put the correct materials in the recycling (try my hardest like) and I’m shamed with a tag !

I think he has travelled .I think had he not the police would have arrested him.
must be a a reason for posting pictures of someone wheeling a bin which might have a body in it.

I suspect, given his age, UK will not release his identity.

Glad to see it!

Justice for Lindsay!

 

[CharlestonGal]

I wonder if this 16 year old is the same one ID'd on SM as the one dragging the trash bin?

Does anyone think one of the tabloids would release his name?

Just curious.

Holy fill in the blank! A 16 year old?!!!

 

[HongKongPhooey]

We'll have to go careful on this thread due to his age. If there are charges we can expect the usual police ban on naming for legal reasons.

That is exactly my thoughts!
