If it's the garages in Walton searched before then @Alyce posted a map in this earlier post (#270) : Deceased/Not Found - UK - Bernadette Walker, 17, left parent's car, Peterborough, 21 July 2020 *Arrests*

He described a huddle of cops and a tent. No forensics teams.

A tent! As in...the police have erected a tent? Sounds hopeful if that’s the case!

Ooer, my friend wasn't very specific. I'll ask him when I see him tomorrow.

My mate says it was just a canopy tent. The garages looked chocka from what I could see, so I guess it's to lay stuff out under so as to inspect. I might take a look later.

Hey all. First time im looking at an English case. My wife is originally from Norwich, would it be plausible that Bernadette could be found out towards Norfolk. The times I've travelled from there past Peterborough there's plenty of dense areas and bush land. Hopefully she is found soon.

 

[RobinCAL]

Thank you for all this information @*advertiser censored* Habilis . I hope she's found soon.

Welcome !

Anything is possible but I think it's quite interesting that in most of the cases I've followed people with a body to hide tend to stay within a radius of about 20 miles of where they live. I can't back that up with any literature but it's just an observation I have stored in the back of my brain over the years and miriad of cases I've followed. Perhaps it's to do with comfort, intimate knowledge of places where it would be possible, and also cutting the time one is actually travelling around with a body that could be discovered at any moment by something unexpected happening. Those are my thoughts on the matter, not to be taken as fact.

After you've passed through Peterborough, heading east on the A47, you're immediately in the Fens. A really flat area of England that was swamp several hundred years ago, or probably a bit more. Seemingly very rural, eery to some, it's easy to imagine successfully disposing of a body out there. My friends and I would joke about it on the way to college in Wisbech. About thirty seconds out of Peterborough on the A47, towards Thorney, is one of the areas that was searched recently.

yes, and theres a few quarries out towards Thorney too. were they searched? bodies of water in the quarries. i suppose there would be plenty of residue under vehicle they were in to give that away though

They were searching very close to the quarry area in the photos, but didn't specify. I'd be amazed if they didn't though.

So, I'm new here, could someone give me a quick recap?

*Bernadette went missing late July of this year.
*Parents appealed for her to come home.
*A couple of weeks into August her parents were arrested, two days apart, for her murder. No body though.
*Searches for the body have taken place around rural Spalding / Cowbit, the outskirts of Peterborough, and in a row of garages in Peterborough.
*Parents had a court hearing a few weeks ago. Mother weeped whereas the dad stayed silent.
*No one has a bloody clue what happened.

That made me chuckle then choke when I read your last line.

Is there anything to explain why the parents are being charged for her murder? I read some of the articles listed in the beginning of the thread and I also looked for updates but nothing really new. Thanks for the recap.

No, we get trinkets of information from social media but we're not allowed to talk about them on here. I forgot to mention the police search started at the family home. No one knows what evidence the police have but they they constantly affirm to be sure of her murder. Then in the next sentence they'll say they wish for her safe return. If you have questions about anything specific just ask away.

No, nothing specific in mind. I just wanted an outline on the current status of the case and all but you've clarified it up so thx . I just hope they find her.
