Neither of the bolded are encouraging.

And combined makes it even worse...and likely very telling.

I'm at work currently so apologies if the above picture doesn't work or is poor quality.

Basically a photo of a tweet by an ITV reporter - beckys grandad states :she has her wanderings but she comes home" slight contradiction to whats been protrayed previously

I've only heard about this girl being today but have spent all morning catching up ... I have NO clue what a hinky radar is but I know that there are too many puzzle pieces missing here :(

"Very quiet girl"

Rebekka Thorpe, 17, a college student from St George, Bristol, attended primary school with Becky and decided to join the search.

She said: "I went to primary school with her. She was very quiet, a very quiet girl. She'd always stick with one friend who would do all the talking and stuff.

"Not in a mean way but she didn't really fit in. From the person I knew at primary school this is very out of character, you wouldn't expect her to do anything like this.

"It makes me feel a bit sad actually because some people weren't very nice to her at school, I don't really know why. I'm glad that I was always nice to her."

A hinky radar means things don't add up and having suspicions on certain people...

I honestly do think something awful has happened to her though. I'd be very shocked if the outcome was any different.

ITV also reporting via twitter (yesterday) that friends of Becky used umbrellas to hide the search of the family car by forensics from the media. The picture attached to the tweet backs it up. Bizarre behaviour!

I wonder why the forensic officers are yet again back at the house.. They spent all day/night there yesterday. Thats very telling if they're back again in my opinion. No mention of "nothing significant being found at the house" as far as I have read.
 
  • #170
That was certainly a bizarre and rather inappropriate post by her Dad. I'm taking in to consideration how distraught he must be, but truly bizarre. What went on in this home? Generally children that are portrayed as being so quiet, are quiet for a reason. Speculation and opinion only.

I'm just baffled how not even one neighbour or anybody at all saw her leave the house. No positive sightings of her since last week, posters are everywhere & there's lots of media coverage. You'd think one person at least would have seen her. Even a stranger. But no. The dads bizarre comment about his own daughter & talking about blood. Just all weird.

Does anyone actually think the video of him & his brother looks at all convincing? It looks fake & put on to me. He kept covering his face as well as if to hide the fact there was no real tears.

I've looked through numerous articles etc and they all seem to say the following:

Thursday 19th 10.30am - last seen by stepmother

11.06am best friend Courtney texts Becky. The teenager reads the message but does not reply

Later on Thursday Becky swaps texts with her boyfriend Luke"

How much later is "later". It should be fairly straightforward to check when the texts were swapped so why hasn't the time of the exchange been given out when other exchanges have???

To be fair, everyone reacts differently under severe stress. I have a picture of myself at a funeral grinning like the village idiot. I was in shock, and that was my response.

Yeah I agree with you on that. I'm just giving my opinion on how I think it looked put on that's all. A few others have said the same also. I've not seen one picture of him actually crying. Maybe he doesn't like showing emotion, who knows.

Indeed, I've seen pictures if him looking absolutely devastated.

I do hate how in this day and age we've become so pessimistic that we are so quick to jump to conclusions about the family of those that go missing. Its a sad state of affairs but guess it reflects the current way of the world.

I'm withholding judgement on the family at present. Who knows how we would react if we were in a similar situation. Aside from the behaviour/lack of behaviour of the family is there really anything to suggest they may be involved?

I agree, we all know how we THINK we'd react in the same situation but you can't know until you're living it.
I saw my Mum in Chapel of rest the day before her funeral and I can recall feeling like I had to be hostess at her funeral, I tripped over 3 different times and couldn't stop laughing, I kept telling people I'd been to see her yesterday and "she was fine!" Dead obviously but fine and my siblings were crying, I'm there dishing out tissues. I've spent the last 7 years crying though ...

With press conferences it's so hard, I'm guessing you're coached on what the police want you to say and not say.?

If any of my kids were missing I think I'd need sedating!

You can only base things on what you've read.

The 28 hours reporting her missing (all cleared up now of course!), the bizarre blood comment, the no sightings of her leaving the house, the 2 trips back to the family home. You don't need to go back a second time & treat the house as if a crime has been committed if you haven't found anything suspicious, unless of course you haven't examined the full house yet.

Why has it not been said on any article that they tried to report her missing but the police said a certain time has to pass? The way I read it was they waited a full 28 hours to report her missing after she was last seen.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I have mine. Ive followed cases where the parents have looked absolutely devastated before, it means nothing. I do think its someone she knows but I've been wrong before so I could be here. I'm not blaming it entirely on the family, I'm just saying some things are very bizarre. When I say someone she knows, Im not aiming it entirely at the family.

Hopefully more updates today.
