    Fingers crossed his sonar works unlike that case cited earlier in the thread or there's gonna be a lot of egg on faces come the summer heatwave.

    He's come out and said the phone on the bench could have been a decoy. He and I need to go for lunch and plot the next one in the Knives Out series. The truth will out.

    I'm not convinced by his dog behaviour analysis, mind. Maybe Nicholas Witchell will hire him next to try and find the Loch Ness Monster.

    The dog seems the element where the least consensus lies, with some people adamant it would have done something no matter the circumstances/not been found in the condition it was and others suggesting, it's a fucking dog, what are you expecting?

    Where's Pen Farthing when you need him?

    I'm in the latter camp. You can't predict the behaviour of a dog. I think there are a lot of people imagining that all dogs behave like their dog, which doesn't seem immediately more sensible than suggesting that human beings all behave the same.

    They should get the geezers who found Emiliano Sala's plane on the case (or is that who these sonar people are? ).

    When I was young, we had a dog (a miniature french poodle) and I remember we would sometimes ride the quads to a place, tell the dog to sit on one of the quads while we were doing our thing, and then when we returned 3-4 hours later, the dog was still sitting there just chilling.

    There's a Youtube channel in the US that uses sonar to find missing people and he seems to not only find every case given to him, but also gets a couple of extra dead bodies in the process.

    It's a fascinating, if not morbid, watch.



    Edit: Hmm... seems his search is car-related. Was this lass ever seen in a car?

    No chance my wife’s dog would never jump in the river to rescue anyone, it doesn’t walk through puddles so no chance it’s getting itself neck deep in anything,

    It would just sit there rolling its eyes till we drowned then go to sleep.

    It was a springer, wasn't it? Most of the springers we've ever had back home were hard to keep out of the water. They weren't pampered house dogs though, tbf.

    The police seem 100% adamant that she didn't leave the park based on CCTV, but I reckon she jumped into the river and swam to freedom.

    They've moved from the river, to the path next to the river. Next it's the cycle path next to the path, then the bin next to that, and we Continue onwards around the world, 10 days at a time.

    Supposedly the police remain convinced she fell into the river.

    At this stage I’ve genuinely no idea why.

    So the dive expert is a wank Elon Musk who has started his own investigation fucking over the police by pouring petrol on the conspiracy theories.

    Your desperation to characterise him as such because he appeared on GB News and everything that's so much as touched GB news must be bad, is so transparent. Do you enjoy being this predictable?

    If he'd Musked it he'd be accusing the Dad of touching the kids and then come up with a solution that manifestly won't work and he hasn't even built yet.

    He'll only be fucking over the police if his company can't find her, which, you know, would suggest she's not there.

    The Superintendent mildly coated him off in the press conference for exactly that. Being brought on to an active investigation to help and then saying 'I'll deffo find her' publicly followed by 'but I reckon her phone was left there as a decoy by the evil rapers who abducted her and she isn't in the river at all' isn't exactly professional. When was the last time you heard of volunteer specialists aiding a police investigation coming out contradicting the police messaging?

    I've also heard him say that the police have done everything right so far, so he's probably trying to say the right thing in the face of mass incompetence. He's probably not used to dealing with the media on anything like this level, so I'll forgive him the odd overstepping of the mark.

    Reality is, we're now 10 days into this and the police seemingly have absolutely nothing but a stubborn insistence that she fell in the river, with no evidence whatsoever that she did.

    I'll have to ask my old man about this when I see him, but my instinct is they fucked up the first few days and have been playing catch-up ever since.

    Probably because if it was a fat black woman who fell in it would have been barely a ripple outside of some local news coverage.

    There are loads of missing person cases live in the UK they don't usually cause a social media shit storm with tik tokkers descending on the location breaking into vacant properties so they can 'help' the investigation.

    The reality is if she fell in the river it can take weeks for her body to turn up. That's already shit for her loved ones but now the electronic eye of Sauron is fixed on the investigation until it is resolved one way or another.

    So every case ever that doesn't get media attention.

    While I agree that there's absolutely no reason to buy the idea that she fell in the river, the officer doing the press conference did take great care to point out that not all of the evidence has been released to the public, or to matey boy. So who knows? Maybe they do have good reason to think she fell in? Although I don't know why you wouldn't release it if you really didn't suspect foul play.

    If it was a fat black woman who fell in the BBC website would have been wall-to-wall racist countryside, black people deprived of swimming lessons, why dogs are less likely to rescue black people, killed because black women are ignored in work meetings...

    Not to condone idiots descending on the area as I absolutely don't, but the interest is so high because this one is straight out of a Jonathan Creek episode and that doesn't normally, if ever happen when someone goes missing.

    IIRC he's got a nose for these things too. Would be curious to hear what his thoughts are about the whole thing.

    As a former Met Police officer I'm sure he's very knowledgeable on shambolic investigations that involve spending most of the time covering up their own fuck-ups when scrutinised rather than solving the case.

    People drown and arent found for weeks fairly regularly. The police usually call the search off after so long but likely can't right now with everything going on.

    The police have enough trouble finding things that stay in one place let alone things that have fallen into a moving body of water.

    Half of the country hasn't solved a single robbery in 5 years so the idea they can find a body in a week is asking alot.
