General Chat

Police say: we have recovered one vehicle which belongs to the individual in custody. Land rover discovery, left hand drive.

Next press conference will take place at 7.30am tomorrow morning.

Has i have already said,my daughter knows several members of little April"s family and is in contact with one of them over facebook.
I am not blaming anyone,but in this day and age you have to watch your children with an eagle eye,that part of mid wales is lovely and quiet, but so was Soham. :-(

Soham....lovely?.......Oh......Ok!

Lynda and aivlyS Leave it out please. Not really a thread to have a go and call someone a rail.

Most of the things I put on here I have done and seen. I have absolutely no reason to eil about any of it. Knighthoods and living in a castle are not true, of course.

I was thinking today of when my daughter was 2 (30 now) and we stayed in Holiday Inn in Plymouth. We were in a lift and we got out on ground floor. Little daughter was still in lift and lift door closed and it shot off to 7th floor.

Shouted at wife to stay at ground floor and I belted up to the 7th floor. Fortunately doors opened and there she was - crying her eyes out. But for 20 seconds, and 40 secs for wife, it was sheer panic. Many others will have had simialr experiences, I am sure.

This poor couple issued a statement through police a few minutes ago (see 5EXY's post). All out thoughts and prayers are with them and little April tonight, I feel sure.

Point scoring is fun - but not tonight :-(

point scoring? ? I called you a rail ? lol ... you could not even type your last reply without adding ANOTHER tale ... are you sure you want this thread to be about April and not just more about YOU and what YOU have done ?

thank you John
im used to this,all our opinions differ,but of course if one says the wrong thing,your in trouble and made to look bad.

I really really hope this little girl is found safe,
im sorry my opinion differs from the rest,but thats the way it is.

Can we just get on please this thread is about a missing little girl. All the people have come together in her area, Can we do the same on here please?

please let little April be found safe and well,i will be watching the news and sending positive thoughts <3

i will be keeping my fingers crossed she will be found during the night safe and well :-D

Very sad - an absolute nightmare for her parents. I hope very much that she is found safe and well but I have to say that it isn't looking good :-(

I agree Sue but keep hoping.

No good news this morning, and police still searching specific areas round Machynlleth and questioning the suspect - whose photo is on front of most of papers today. A further press conference at 1pm.

Miracles can happen, and we must pray. Remember that little girl who was hidden away recently, but I fear this will not have any happy ending. Sister was on telly this morning having leafleted town last night, and they seem a very caring family who just cannot make sense of this at all.

Struggled to sleep last night. Does anybody remember Cannock Chase murders (or A34 muders) of late 1960's. Raymond Leslie Morris, a motor engineer from Walsall, was found guilty at Stafford assizes of one of the murders in 1968 (there were 6 in places along A34 and they stopped whne he was caught) and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He is still in prison over 40 years later and one of the country's longest serving prisoners.

One of little girls lived in Hollemeadow Avenue, Leamore (about a mile north of Morris who had a flat next to Walsall Police Station). She was abducted as she walked back to her mum alone from her gran's house 200 yards away and family was well known and respected locally. It devastated people, I still have deja vu moments when these things happen.

I really hope they search his house properly...

& I hope they find her safe soon

I hope she turn's up safe,but as time goes by it's not looking good.
I think there maybe a lot more to come out about this.

Marion

Poor little April on daily medication for celebral palsy. Also film taken of Bridger before arrest standing near the river. That was so swollen and fast on evening she was abducted.

We still must have hope. But no, not looking good at all and over 60 hours missing. On Radio Wales through day again today - main topic of conversation even here in Valleys (3 hours south) :-( Next Press Conference due 11am.

I have been very wary about posting on this thread since it started as I do not want to cause offence,
I agree Marion, with your last sentence, entirely.
I was very unhappy when I viewed the appeal on television by the mother and father yesterday. Sent the hairs on end in my neck. I'm no pshycologist ,amateur or otherwise, but it did not bode well with me, and think the police will be rewinding this many times.
Don't understand the significance of not releasing the information for two days, that the little girl has Cerebal Palsey.
I'm just speaking from a concerned mother, grandmother,great grandmother point of view. Nothing more, nothing less.
I hope they find her safe and well, and soon

Was that the father sitting next to the mother whilst she made her appeal? Agree as a very amateur psychologist that he acted very strangely if he was more than a neighbour of mother.

Note a lovely lady coming out of church was about to say "April's parents" on news this morning, then said "April's pair-family" :-S

Suppose all is completely irrelevant at moment. Priority is to find April today.

Edit. Sorry, just read that Coral Jones was accompanied by her step-father Dai Smith yesterday at Press Conference.

John, I just naturally took him to be the father. Perhaps an honest mistake on my part.

Julia in Derbyshire

The man with the mother is Aprils grandad! Let's not get carried away.

My heart goes out to the poor family
having spoken to some of the villagers on another site
they are all in shock they thought where they lived to be safe
its a quiet village where nothing ever happends
what that family must be going through
i cant even imagine :-D :-D
