So, just a quick follow up to my earlier post.
Nicola says this morning "“From day one, I was being told that it was being treated as a homicide, without any evidence or a body."

TW said in his radio interview in November : "Now the challenge with that is, from the outset the police were determined to tell the media that there was no third party involvement."

TW :
“As a result,
there is a lack of trust towards the media management approach the police have employed to date, including coming out immediately after Corrie disappeared, emphatically claiming there was ‘no third party involvement’, clearly not a statement supported by the evidence then or now.”

And Nicola :

"Mrs Urquhart, a police officer from Fife, has spoken about her fears that her son got into a vehicle ‘willingly or unwillingly’.
Today she said the statement by police when Corrie first disappeared that there was ‘no third party involvement’ was a mistake."
So either :
A) the police have been telling the family one thing, the media/public another.
or
B) Nicola's statement in the Courier today is referring to the level of resources the police were telling the family that they were putting into the investigation. ie When Nicola refers to "I was told that it was being treated as a homicide, without any evidence or a body" does she mean that the police were saying to her that they were putting in the same amount of resources in to the investigation as if it was a homicide, OR does she mean that the police were actually 'treating it as a homicide'?
It's really no surprise that there's so much confusion around this case. In the end, this case could prove to be a very good example of why police and other authorities usually prefer families to not get involved at this level, when stating 'facts' about the case becomes a murky exchange of confused information etc. Or it could prove Corrie's family right, that it's essential for family to get involved at this level in order to solve a case. We'll see.
