Does this seem weird to you?

[Zoomer]

I thought that, PG. Her "unwavering goodness and commitment to doing what she feels is right" doesn't seem to have extended to obeying the laws of the country she was living in.

Eta: re lockdown rules, obviously

I think he’s employed a company who specialise in missing people overseas, it’s still odd though.

The Lucie Blackman Trust are involved so I don't think the creation of an information pack is odd. It's about the only thing that isn't, though.

This has resurfaced this week as they're starting searches again and hoping that other hikers might come across something.

The weirdo 'psychic' who is apparently working with police over Madeline McCann has given them some coordinates to search too.

[Heebie Jeebie]

He's back again proclaiming his love. Why are the BBC giving this such a weird focus? It was weird before she went missing and although it's not strange to give the attention now, the tone of the articles feel off to me. So much lengthy quoting.

He has got to be friends with the journalist, surely? Or the guy is planning to stitch him up on a podcast.

[smalex]

He has amazing clarity of mind and clear articulation about something so fresh. I'm sure a journalist helped or whatever, I don't mean that, more that it's as if he's writing when 10 or 20yrs have gone by, not a few months.

I had to stop reading at ‘cried into the gravel for an hour and a half’

Either:

He is responsible for her disappearance and is over elaborating like liars do.
Or
He is looking for a book deal.
Or
Both.

[Dáire]

You'd think he'd have learned from the Greek case. And every other case. Whether you like it or not, you're the prime suspect. The police are waiting for you to incriminate yourself. Shut up.

(I was just reading about US police letting suspects keep their phones to play with in the back of the car after arrest. Why? They usually incriminate themselves further.)

[Zoomer]

They've found bones near to where she went missing. It seems like it's her, but will take some time to confirm. Poor woman.

[Chicky]

Ah that’s sad. Hopefully if it is her then there will be some clarity over how she died. Although if it’s close to where she went missing then it’s odd they didn’t find her before? Also (sorry) I’m not sure decomposition is that quick?

[Kleio]

There was a lot of snow in the area so I suppose she could have been hidden by that.

I’m surprised at ‘bones’ though as if she was hidden by snow I’d have thought that would slow decomposition.

[Zoomer]

There's bears, wolves, and lots of wild boar in the Pyrenees. I'll say no more.

[Kleio]

True. I’ve just read a report that says it might only be part (a head - sorry) so she could have been carried there by an animal.

I just hope there’s enough to identify whoever it is. If it isn’t her then there’s another family out there waiting to hear about someone.

[overthehill]

Poor woman. They've reintroduced bears to parts of the Pyrenees, so I suppose it's possible she fell prey to a bear. Maybe?

[Margo]

Breaking news is that the body is hers. Poor woman.

[smalex]

Oh gosh, poor woman. Presumably we all mis-judged him.

[Zoomer]

Oh gosh, poor woman. Presumably we all mis-judged him.

It doesn't necessarily mean it was an accident. But, yeah, I feel bad for him now.

[Heebie Jeebie]

Oops. Sorry, weird guy.

[Dáire]

Still a top top: don't be weird.

I hope they find more clues. It's looking like an accident really is the more likely explanation.

[Arrietty]

The "body" is only one bone, though... Still odd. His flowery prose still makes him dodgy in my book.
