Hello All!
I was unable to 'quote' from the last thread either but that glitch seems to have righted itself with this new thread.
What concerns me with this case (and I guess why I have a strong feeling that it smells wrong) is that witness accounts, descriptions and personality traits etc of MB seem to have been made to fit with what the police know and not the other way around.
From what I have understood is that a 7 year old girl (and ONLY a 7 year old girl) initially saw April get into a vehicle. The ONLY thing about that apparent vehicle that ties it to MB is that it was LH drive. It was described in an opposite manner to the vehicle that the police later made public. That child KNEW MB and yet did not say it was his car and if she did then why did the police put out an incorrect description of the vehicle that they were looking for?
Why is it the car they made public was seen parked on his driveway (although apparently 'missing' for an hour early Tuesday morning) - was not impounded straight away? It was right there...and had been described to them and was owned by a man 'known' to them and named? Why wait until 3.30pm on Tuesday to arrest him when they could have gone straight round to his home...or at least first thing the next morning when he and his car were available to them?
If he is and was the most obvious person, perhaps acting immediately may have resulted in April being found asap.
MB the owner of the car that was not impounded immediately, nor needed to be searched for as it was RIGHT THERE, was also right there - NOT in hiding, NOT running away and apparently joining in the search. Witnesses stated that - he was searching with them - NOT that he was acting suspiciously until AFTER he was named as a suspect, when it seemed witnesses started stating what had already been made public.
Had MB been a member of the public to find April alive, his shortcomings would be described as positives: rather than see his many jobs as a negative, he would be described as someone who tried hard to find work, whatever it was etc. Isn't that exactly what the press and public are telling us Brits what we ought to be doing - taking whatever work is available rather than claiming benefits?
Do we actually know when he last worked? How much he was paid? Whether he was frugal? I'm sure I don't know...nor how that makes him guilty, or not.
He MAY be guilty but as yet he is not. I am finding it increasingly uncomfortable that what seem to be 'ordinary' human behaviours are being turned around in order to demonise him and make him 'fit' a guilty persona. I want the evidence to do that.
For example: QUOTE: A potent message the Scorpion chooses to express is that of protection and/or isolation. In fact, they themselves are quite solitary - part of the reason why they symbolize In fact, many people with the Scorpion as their totem tend to have brief spells of passion with a partner only to end the relationship and spend long periods content to be alone.
That seems to describe MB's lifestyle exactly. QUOTE
As far as I am aware, MB is a man who had LONG term relationships. Yes, he had a few (is it 3 total?) but that does not make him a murderer, paedophile nor anti-scocial etc. As far as I am aware, he had not been alone for a long period of time, he had split up only a week earlier...and based on the fact that he had long term relationships, seems to be a man who didn't want to be on his own.
Maybe, just maybe, he chose a Scorpion for a tattoo because he likes the image, or because he is born under that sign?
I know we are all looking for clues but in the midst of that it seems that we know very little as being factual and that is what is making me uncomfortable.
If MB is guilty then I couldn't be happier that he is in custody and will be for a very long time to come. However, based ONLY on what I know (as in what has been made public) it seems as though there are more theories than evidence and conclusions are being made to fit him to the crime with what little there is.
Yesterday, my husband and I were out and about in town and country. We saw a 40+ year old man parked up in an old Defender wearing camo in the middle of a field and didn't find that suspicious.
We saw a foreign, light, creamy-grey coloured Mondeo Estate (LH drive) go past us on the M1 - looked small at the front and big at the back....fitted the description of the wanted car to a 'T' and looked entirely different to a navy blue Defender.
We saw a family with two young children, the man looked similar to MB and had tattoos and did not immediately think child killer/ sex offender....
What I am trying to say (I think) is that MB seems pretty much like a big percentage of the male population. He does not look like a monster (albeit he may be one) and that the only thing that I can see that will point to his guilt, will be that there is irrefutable evidence that he is guilty and nothing else.
