I really hope there's some news soon. This is so heartbreaking.

Me too Robin! I don’t know what others think but this doesn’t seem to have the same “feel” as most missing young girl cases! There is normally much more media coverage, people in the local area don’t even know about the case! I really do feel as if this is more of a runaway situation than anything more sinister (I hope I’m right) I know we are now on day 13 and anyone harbouring her would surely have made contact even if it’s just to say she is safe but it doesn’t seem to be being taken as seriously as the majority of cases! Or is it just me that feels that way?!

There is a heavy police presence blocking off Havant thicket this afternoon stopping anyone from entering this is up past Rowlands Castle.

Oh no, sad news indeed.

 

[JosieJo]

Oh no how awful

Thoughts for her family. Devastating news.

 

[magicslipper]

This is so bloody heartbreaking , devastated for her Mum. I really didn't think it would come to this I so hoped she had run away.
I really hope she didn't suffer too much

 

[Stumpyaura]

Awful news, poor girl and horrendous for the family

I really hope she didn't suffer too much

I also thought she would be a runaway, it’s just heartbreaking! Now it’s a case of working out if this is down to a stranger or someone she knew. If of course it continues to be a suspicious death! May she fly high with the Angels! Of course no confirmation yet that it is Louise but it seems inevitable

 

[magicslipper]

The whole community are grieving , people are saying they will not take part in the clap for carers tonight they are going to light a candle instead.
Even if it's not Louise another family have lost a daughter awful times.

Awful.

"Detectives said they were treating the death of a person found in woodland in Havant Thicket as suspicious."

I guess that confirms it.

Sorry if this has been asked before, how far is Somborne Drive from Havant Thicket? And where is the skatepark where her phone signal pinged?

Looks about 2 miles on google maps, but I'm sure a local could confirm.

Sorry if this has been asked before, how far is Somborne Drive from Havant Thicket? And where is the skatepark where her phone signal pinged?

It really depends where in the thicket she has been found exactly but it’s roughly about 1.7 miles

 

[Deppy]

Sorry I didn’t see the part about her phone! At the moment there appears to be some discrepancies as to where her phone was whether it is Havant skate park or Emsworth skate park! There are also 3 skate parks in Havant, the nearest one being 1.3 miles from Sombourne Drive! If it was the Emsworth skate park then they are 2.8 miles apart

 

[Deppy]

There is another skate park which is 0.8 miles from Sombourne Drive but that is known as “Westleigh skate park” not Havant, so although it’s nearer to her last sighting I don’t think it was that one but again, I can’t confirm as I don’t think that has been made very clear.

Poor girl. RIP
