A random thought.......... could it be possible that the large * drum * removed from RWs house, was not an oil drum or garden waste bin, but a washing machine ?
Too big, surely? The pic looks like an oil drum to me. JMO

Oh where is that information from?

The names are being repeated on Twitter, if you really need to know them then a simple search will find them immediately.

Papers like The Sun are driven by clicks and circulation. They will often take risks in order to be first to publish something. Whilst they are usually not completely reckless they will take chances before something is 100% certain.

I know the names (saw them yesterday, actually) but I was asking for the name of the paper to find out if it was a reputable paper. Apparently the answer is no. So despite the msm naming them I don't think it's prudent to discuss them here. My opinion only.

Trying to tread carefully here but Becky's FB does not come across as shy and introverted. I understand family wouldn't want their beloved daughter to be seen another other way but it's just not the impression I got of her.

It's a shame Becky's friends list is private. I know when I was 16 most of my friends were in their 20's but I was a wildchild.

That is the nature of social media unfortunately. Girls are pressured into putting "sexy" pics on their FB as a means of gaining popularity. It's the "norm" sadly and yes..even the shy ones do it. I think it is a GOOD thing that her FB friends list is private. All her friends...children.....would be at risk of all sorts following this incident.

A mix of printed in the Sun, facebook profile information on about section, times from people who are friends with named on facebook and my own opinion.

Understand where you are coming from, it is difficult not to comes across as judgemental but there is a big contradiction with the shyness and the social media postings.

It's very sad when a family loses a young child like this. I doubt you will ever find a family statement that is anything other than positive about the person they have lost.

It may be a sleazy rag newspaper but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have printed it if it was pure speculation.

What I saw makes me understand the family's emphasis on the fact it wasn't anyone connected to her Dad's family. We were placing the emphasis on the wrong word .... if that makes sense.

Mrazda would you be able to PM me about this? Or is this against the rules?

And I really am not being judgemental, just to clarify. I was a nightmare teen so certain situations would not surprise me as I've probably done the same or worse, albeit 20 years ago [emoji4]

I've said it before, I know a lot of people with social anxieties, who are shy and introverted, I'm also married to one. How we appear on social media can mean diddly squat, we all wear masks in 'public' Being behind a screen can give you confidence you may not have in real life. Add to that many also have low self esteem, posting pictures for some and gaining compliments boosts self esteem. It isn't as black and white as it may seem. MOO!

I'm not familiar with that case and how it pertains to naming names?
In the Jo Yeates case he was pretty much guilty by media and the public because he was a bit odd and eccentric, he was her landlord and had a poor alibi - he was absolutely innocent.
