I have been reading the thread & forgive me for saying this but something doesnt feel right about this childs abduction , I just hope & pray the child is found & returned to her mum .unharmed .somebody out there knows were she is Dear God let her go ,tell the police .Barbra

I do hope so Kay. I think all those who are reading this thread, but not posting, are quietly thinking about this dear little girl and hoping she is found safe and well soon.

I'm sure she will be found soon,,,,,, with suprises in the mix.

John. Today. 09.31 albeit a slight typo. Less of the BS

Sorry Ron, I haven't posted this intending to disrupt your very well meaning thread.
Let's hope this little girl will be safe very soon.

Have removed it,dint think it had been mentioned previously. **M**.

Merlin lets NOT go there again, If you read this thread you will see why I say that.

Thanks Sue.
Poor little girl whatever the outcome.

No Marion, still searching the surrounding areas with specialist teams. Police are due to interview the person they have in custody again this afternoon.

I have a ball of lead in my stomach TBH.

Sue x

Just in.I take it there is no news yet.

Good day to you all.
I put this thread up to make people aware of what happened to April Jones & to see if anybody might be able to help in any way.

I do think it is wrong to speculate or throw doubt over the family or how the police are handling the case. Leave the Questions to the police.

With that in mind can we all stick to hoping April is found safe & well & doing what ever we can to help in any way?

Thank you John.

Speculation on forums does cause problems, the most famous 'shut down' was the Mirror McCann forums of which I was a longstanding member. They were being monitored by legal representatives and considered prejudicial should there be a prosecution.

I think we all have opinions but in my view these are better kept to oneself until April is found.

GR could find itself in a heap of trouble IF anyone made unsubstantiated accusations and these were reported to the appropriate standards committee.
Sounds a little dramatic but it's true.

Fair comment, Supercrutch :-D Said my piece anyway. Accept my admonition, and apologies if my questions have upset anyone. :-( :-(

Pleased though that RR has again been overturned (and also Julia's). Do you think I should remove my post (or posts for that matter?) I promise I am foremost hoping and praying for safe return of April.

Supercrutch, I have never made any case comparisons, as each case is different.
And, as I signed off my original thread, this was from a concerned mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am not heartless, despite what the RR'd would like to portray, nor was I offensive.
I can think of plenty of other threads to go on, if I wanted to be offensive, instead of one about a missing child.

This is a thread about a missing 5 year old not an analysis of family members who may or may not appear in public.

It smacks of trying to make comparisons between this case and the McCann, Matthews and Sharp cases. Look what family appearances meant in those cases!
I am happy that the closest family members aren't appearing every 12 hours.

Please just concentrate on the child. There are plenty of forums online where you can spout your amateur sleuthing theories. Well there are at the moment until they get shut down.

Island Never even mentioned you. Did point out that he is stepfather of Coral, which sounds more complex than just "grandfather" of April.

Police are held high in your estimation. Perhaps rightly. But the Cannock Chase murderer of 1960's murdered probably 6 little girls between 1964 and 1968 up and down the A34 between Birmingham and Manchester. Five of those little girls would be alive today (be about 50 years old) if the police had acted responsibly.

Where did they find murderer and arrest him in 1968? In a flat directly opposite Walsall police station!!!! His window looked across to the search control room. And he had previous. And his wife knew what he was up to!!!

John, the only reason I posted on this thread was to add that the man with the mother is Aprils grandfather - public knowledge from BBC news site.

Please don't include me in your amateur 'detective work'. I'm sure the police are in possession of the answers to those questions .I don't need to know the answers.

I am as keen as anyone to hear that this little girl is found safe and well but I have no need to throw in my half dozen eggs.

Rose Good point. But brother and sister have been fairly high profile. They were both out leafletting on Tuesday evening. Only other one who has appeared that I have seen is stepfather of Coral.

Just watching 11am press conference and a lot of police resources and a lot of volunteers being organised for the search. And Bridger can be questioned till 5m Friday before police have to charge him or let him go.

Got impression that Superintendent John is getting increasingly frustrated that they cannot find April. Without knowing that she is safe or where she is, police hands are tied.

Don't forget there are two other children to consider, ok the sister is a teenager, but the brother is only 10 and will need family there for him too...that could be why few appearances by family members.

Agree, Julia. Nasty little diversion by somebody. Next official news will be available soon at about 11 this morning. Weather better for searching for April today.

Thanks John and Detective. I am not about to turn this thread into one about me.

Detective, there was nothing in my thread to cause anyone offence, no matter where they read it. It is pure vindictiveness.
