Take that for a good shot of the Vauxhall Zafira and the house

Or a Vectra

This is just horrible. I didn't think this story could get any worse. Her poor, poor family.

 

[LadyN]

That's not a Zafira, think its an Insignia or similar

I agree, it looks more like a saloon style car, it's too low to be a people carrier. Maybe a Vauxhall Vectra?

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

Though they certainly used that approach with the Hillsborough disaster.

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 think it would be fair to say that virtually all teenagers are a nightmare in their own special ways.

Didn't think you were being at all judgemental, just trying to understand something that appears to be contradictory.

I guess the peer pressure to post selfies is something that is hard to grasp. There was an article in the DM recently about a mother who argued constantly with her 15 year old daughter about the selfies she posted to many social media accounts. That wasn't just Facebook but Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter and a few more. I'm afraid I might come across a bit Victorian about this but if my teenage daughter posted a provocative pouting cleavage shot on the internet her phone, tablet and laptop would be locked in a drawer.

That's the one I coudn't think of, thanks!

 

[leah]

Jealousy, older girl being very jealous of a pretty younger girl, maybe Rebecca was flirting or just looking at the older girl's boyfriend and she didn't like it? Some people are very, very good at manipulating others to do their dirty work, or to join in on the dirty work? I thought about the girl's bullying scenario, as of now, I think this had to do with jealousy. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for saying that wfgodot! I've been biting my tongue, where the S*n is concerned it's ingrained in my psyche to distrust everything

Glad you didn't. I'm really not making any judgements on anybody bar the monsters involved.

I do agree though about locking stuff in a drawer. Social media is pretty terrifying place.

This is just horrible. I didn't think this story could get any worse. Her poor, poor family.

Unfortunately I think it is going to get a lot worse. I don't believe Becky would be the type to engage with strangers given her character. In my opinion only, I believe who did her harm was known to her. And if that is found to be the case in time, I am guessing known to the family also. Which must be horrific. Especially if (and I don't know this for a fact obviously) (just speculation) someone known to the family knew more than what they were telling and lied to the family or even saw their pain and distress and didn't come forward- can you imagine the betrayal?

However we still do not know what happened. If the body was not mutilated and efforts to dispose of her- I would hope it was some sort of accident or a fight that got out of hand or even a drug related death- anything less barbaric than this.

 

[Wallace]

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.

CJ's character was assassinated by the mainstream media pretty much from the moment his name leaked out. He successfully sued 8 newspapers winning substantial damages. Two of the newspapers were also charged with contempt of court for publishing information which could have prejudiced the trial.

 

[Supaplex]

At the end of the day realistically I'm sure this is 1 or 2 people....so I hope The Sun don't destroy unconnected innocent people....

Daily Mail has some pics I had not seen.

That's not a zafira is it?

I'm sure we've had this discussion before.. I'd rather rip my eyes out than read anything the sun printed

I feel the same and I thought it really weird that the pictures the family chose for the searches were of a much more sophisticated, made up and confident looking girl than the subsequent images that have been released to the media. Not in ANY way suggesting the family are involved, I think it's just a reflection of how media obsessed we are - i.e. they wanted to use the 'best' photo of her, even if she didn't look like this day to day. JIMO

 

[Lola68]

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.

Dad's friend?

Including this one

"Forensic experts examine what appears to be a jacket as they comb the garden of the house today"

Or not that Rebecca was at all interested in someone's boyfriend, but the boyfriend was interested in her, and the girlfriend had enough of that behavior. Either my first thought, or this thought, somehow I believe this was jealousy. IMO
