Misc. Cases II

[Jezreel]

I have been following this case since the beginning, it's in Wales in the UK. It's outstanding the way the community has worked together and do not want to give up, they have all pulled together, the police have been searching up to 20 locations at a time, pulling up paving stones, working throughout the night in torrential downpours and everything. Police forces from across the UK have been helping too. This morning, even though it was almost inevitable, the person arrested on suspicion of abduction has now be re arrested on suspicion of murder.

There are stories in every national broadsheet and tabloid about little April Jones. She was abducted while playing with a friend near her home in a very small tight knit community, she is 5 and suffers from CB. Mark Bridger the man arrested on suspicion of murder now, was apprehended they day after her disappearance and police named him and released his photo to the media (not a common move).
Here is one from the Daily Mail, lots of pics

Mark Bridger, the man suspected of snatching April Jones has been arrested on suspicion of her murder.
The 46-year-old has been in custody since Tuesday after being held in connection with the abduction of the missing five-year-old.
This morning detectives revealed they have now arrested him on suspicion of murder suggesting they are now looking for April's body.
The grim news was revealed by Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan at a press conference in Aberystwyth.

'While this is a significant development in the investigation, I once again appeal to the public for information which may help us find April.'
Officers have to make a decision on whether to charge or release Bridger by 5pm today - or then can apply for another 24 hours to question him.
At the press conference Superintendent Ian John said that because of today's 'significant development' it was no longer appropriate for the many volunteers who had joined the hunt for April to continue searching.

Det Supt Reg Bevan reiterated his urgent appeal for information from anyone who saw Bridger or his blue Land Rover Discovery between 6.30pm on Monday and 3.30pm on Tuesday.

He said officers were trying to piece together Bridger’s movements at the ‘relevant times’.
Police are conducting ‘cell-site analysis’ of Bridger’s mobile phone in the hope of tracking his exact movements on the night April vanished, after she was lured into a vehicle by a mystery man as she played with friends.
And detectives have reportedly called on the help of one of the world's leading forensic psychologists, who advised British and Portuguese police in the search for Madeleine McCann.
Joe Sullivan is said to have been drafted into the police investigation team to give advice on interviewing Bridger, The Times claimed.
Details of Jazmin’s harrowing message to friends were reported by Sky News as her exhausted mother Coral, 40, was whisked away from her home in an unmarked police car.
For days, she has been a virtual recluse at her home, waiting by her phone, praying for good news.
At about 2pm she left the house in a hurry, prompting speculation there might have been a long-hoped for breakthrough in the case.

But soon after she departed sources confirmed there had been no progress in the search operation.
A police officer refused to say where Mrs Jones had gone. Asked if the strain was ‘getting too much’, he replied: ‘Yes, it is.’
In a further heart-rending twist, it was revealed that April’s father Paul Jones, 43, has been unable to join in the police search for his daughter because he fears he is going blind.
Mr Jones is suffering a degenerative eye disease – stopping him joining the hordes of volunteers hunting for April. His sight problems also meant he could not take part in a televised appeal alongside his devastated wife on Wednesday.

Specialist police search teams were being helped in the hunt by a marine unit, mountain rescue, the Coastguard and lifeboat services.
Members of the public have also been asked to search their immediate surroundings including gardens and outbuildings.
David Cameron said. ‘This is every family’s nightmare and the fact that April suffers from cerebral palsy – something I know a little about from my own children – only makes this worse. My appeal would be to everyone – if you know anything, talk to the police.’
Police said the hunt would continue throughout the night despite the treacherous weather conditions, including heavy rain and strong winds.
Superintendent John from Dyfed Powys Police said in a press conference yesterday evening that the force has received more than 2,500 phone calls with information since launching their appeal.

At Bridger's home yesterday police were seen lifting paving slabs and searching outbuildings at the rural property.
Teams dressed in forensic overalls and face masks entered Bridger's detached house while other search teams used ladders to climb on top of surrounding buildings.
The search operation has been described as 'one of the largest of its kind in recent history'.
