First thing I thought of. There’s a campsite and caravan area literally in the next field. And the approach is from below and behind the bench. Why would they be checking out an abandoned house over the other side of the river? There’s also wooden rental lodges easily accessible from 2 fields over. Also, I’d be surprised if the nearest house with free range hens doesn’t have some form of CCTV, given it’s proximity to a public right of way.
Good thought Michelle.
Sarcasm is completely unnecessary on this serious & upsetting subject.why not call and ask them, just to stop you wondering
To be honest I feel a lot of this thread is a bit unsavoury. Speculation without any knowledge is poor form and rather than post ideas on an obscure internet thread it would be more useful to contact the police.
More pathetic than unsavoury
I don’t think you and recid live locally so maybe it’s not as much on your radar as it is for a lot of us, especially those like Neil who live particularly close.
We as a family go on that walk at least half a dozen times a year. It's a beautiful walk. It's quite normal for people to discuss a local issue. Especially one as tragic as this. Ignore the internet trolls. Lambasting people for commenting yet they've clearly read it all AND commented themselves. Pathetic. Cheap kicks out of stirring the pot.
The o/p was fine - people feeling sad about the disappearance of a local woman. But to turn it into a game of feckin cluedo or a parody of some Netflix murder drama is pathetic, imo.
And you’re entitled to your opinion.
Wrong.
My cousin lives local and walks her dogs there every day... not now, she’s genuinely scared...
Tbh this site is pretty similar to her Facebook page which is still open and her friends are commenting / updating people.
That’s what they are suggesting. Think it’s got an owner. Google Earth has vehicles parked outside, so it might be a ‘project’ too far. It’s a big house, that’s for sure.
Agreed. I was under the impression that the police rely more and more on social media sites to raise awareness of missing persons and to seek any additional information that can be gleaned. Surely any assistance or information provided in this very worrying case would be welcomed …
Tangerine Neil called it right, gawpers with too much time on their hands
It’s a very good question? this is baffling. One if our drivers went past very close to this spot at around 7.40am - I’ve even checked the vans dash cam to see if I can see anything, just on the off chance. Truly upsetting this - someone doesn't just vanish
Everyone hopes for a happy outcome LaLa. I think Recidivist’s point is that we could probably do with a fewer amateur Sherlocks.
Considering going there at the weekend to see if any of the houses down Allotment Lane have got CCTV or Ring doorbells.
I used to fish that stretch Lytham. When the river's high the current can come down at a fair rate of knots.
Where does it say this please?
I know what his point is and nobody has to read the thread.
Lancs post and.Mirror on line. Just google her name mate
Fair enough, used to walk that way loads but not for a while.
Saw on the TV there was a deep water warning at the side.
It's people thinking out loud which is quite normal in circumstances like this & more so because it's close to home. I'm pretty sure the police & emergency services will have done all the obvious things & many many more. Let's face the facts we only know the information that's been officially released & everybody is hoping for an increasingly unlikely happy conclusion.
All very strange, isn’t it?
I just can’t imagine that she’d leave her pet dog off the lead though and at risk..All very strange, isn’t it?
If you take her friends and family’s insistences that she didn’t have any mental health issues and her recent planning for future events, it rules out the 3 main explanations for her disappearance.
Obviously, mental health issues are often well hidden from those that are closest, and just because the Police say there’s no evidence of foul play doesn’t mean that that isn’t the case.
Her family must be going through hell. I suppose their best hope is that she’s been having issues and took herself off. There’s still hope, and fingers crossed that it still can come to a welcome conclusion.
Exactly Karen. We’re just speculating; they know all that is to be known. Whatever we think about the competency of the Police, they’re pretty good at this stuff.
No evidence she went down to the river. Dogs haven’t found anything. If she was in the river I doubt she would get beyond the weir. The dog was bone dry. She was a good swimmer. Apparently in good mental health.
I’m not sure she has been abducted and neither do the Police given whats still going on on the river a week after she went missing.
When/if your suffering from mental health issues, logic doesn’t come in to it unfortunately.I just can’t imagine that she’d leave her pet dog off the lead though and at risk..
She had no reason to go down to the river. It’s pretty steep around there but it’s full of that Himalayan balsam, so I doubt you’d end up in the river (unless extremely unlucky). The steepest parts are around the river bend, on the church side of the river.
Are you a dog whisperer…?
But what if the Dog went down the bank?
Of course that’s a possibility but even our slightly podgy shih tzu could get up and down the bank at that spot.
That’s fair enough.
It's human nature to go into automatic sleuthing because we are all want this lady to be alive and well.
Will be a shock to the system for those firefighters, doing a days work. At least they are working.
