Dreadful news. The police are pretty sure it's her. How awful, poor girl, and her family.

Oh! I suppose we were all expecting it, but - so very , very sad.
Sad news indeed.
Heartbreaking....
Not sure why this is dreadful news. It was always going to end this way.
OH dear horrific but not unexpected news. As it's fairly local everyone has been talking about this case around me. I do hope they get the facts for her family's sake. Poor girl.
Zacs-master - // Not sure why this is dreadful news. It was always going to end this way. //

Dreadful for her family who will have always hoped that it would not end this way.

They could do no other.
Sorry but her family’s hopes don’t alter the reality of the situation Andy. Im sure we all hope never to be put in the same situation, but there’s no escaping the inevitable truth. So sad.

Zacs, I put myself in their shoes and how I would feel if it were my daughter. Because I would be dreading that what I was thinking would prove to be true.
Zacs-Master - // Sorry but her family’s hopes don’t alter the reality of the situation Andy. Im sure we all hope never to be put in the same situation, but there’s no escaping the inevitable truth. So sad. //

It is sad - on that we obviously agree.

But as far as the outcome being 'inevitable' - I disagree that it is.

Yes the evidence points to the likelihood of a body being found, and previous cases have ended in a similar tragedy, but there is noting inevitgable here - there was always a chance that this poor girl would be found alive, and that hope remains until facts dictate otherwise, and that is why the news is indeed dreadful.

Expected yes, inevitable, no.
Yes, I think that’s what I’ve said too.
Well as the police are 'confident' it's her we have reached that point.
I’m sorry Andy but I have to disagree. Making this young lady’s death a subject of debate is disrespectful so I’ll bow out if that ok. I know....I’ve entered debate but only to challenge the unrealistic expectations that the outcome would be favourable.

You must do as you see fit, but I must point out that I am not making this young lady's death the subject of debate, I am making your presumption that her death was 'inevitable' the subject of debate.

There is nothing 'inevitable' about the death of a missing person, that is the point I am making, so I disagree with you about that - and further I am disappointed that you think I would debate about the tragedy itself, which I have not done.
Very sad, as are all these cases. We will undoubtedly fin out more but the people detained make strange reading:

Detectives have detained 71-year-old Rosemary Dinch, her 49-year-old son Paul Elsey, and her 19-year-old nephew, Nathan Elsey - all of whom were known to Miss Pope.
This I sad news, I feel for her family.
jackdaw - // Detectives have detained 71-year-old Rosemary Dinch, her 49-year-old son Paul Elsey, and her 19-year-old nephew, Nathan Elsey - all of whom were known to Miss Pope. //

Experience of these types of crimes often reveal that people are detained for links to the perpetrators, rather than because they were directly involved in the crime itself.

One or more persons can end up charged with aiding and abetting, or perverting the course of justice because they assisted the accused after the crime was committed.
JACKDAW, all three have been released but are under investigation still.
"Not sure why this is dreadful news. It was always going to end this way."

Yes t was almost certainly going to end this way - especially after her clothes were found. But it makes in none the less dreadful. Being virtually inevitable and being dreadful are not mutually exclusive.

All the more reason why perpetrators of such crimes should be subject to a "full life" sentence.
New Judge - // "Not sure why this is dreadful news. It was always going to end this way."

Yes t was almost certainly going to end this way ...//

I am pleased that you echo my point - the word 'almost' makes a world of difference, specifically the difference between a definite and a possible outcome.
All the more reason why perpetrators of such crimes should be subject to a "full life" sentence.


To right, NJ.
