This is how an investigation should be done, silently and not declaring to the world a suspect until he is charged.

Amazing that the boyfriend didn’t do it considering virtually all murders are commited by people known to be the victim and by the last person who claims they saw them
 “After spending the evening at her boyfriend's house, he dropped her home at 11pm and kissed her goodbye on the doorstep”.  I guess if this had happened in the modern eraher boyfriend would have been hung out to dry by people who find it hard to get their heads round the fact that it isn’t always the nearest and dearest what dunnit.

Fortunately for him DNA profiling had been invented by then and as police had a full profile of culprit, he would have been excluded.

DNA? Pah!  Probably got there on a cat or something.

It could have been transferred on the back of a snail considering how slow the case has been.

I wonder who these people are? I know that the statistic on child murders suggest that it's most likely someone close to them who is the culprit, but where is the evidence suggesting that murders are committed by the last person who claims they saw them?

Statistics??  Who needs them??  I am talking about the court of public opinion, the court you see enactd on internet forums and the comments pages of the Sun where this factoid is regularly trotted out.

So you are saying that people who comment on murders on forums or in newspapers say that the crime was committed "by people known to be the victim and by the last person who claims they saw them"?  I find that difficult to believe, sorry.

Why not wait until the trial before passing judgement, for all you know the suspect may have been known to the victims, only a few yrs older at the time.

As I've said before.. When children are harmed it's usually by someone close to them. That's because usually children are under the supervision of someone close.

It's only when they are not with a family member that th ey are vulnerable to strangers... Like being left in a holiday apartment

It happened in the Lindy Chamberlain case, it happened in the Ramsay case, it happened in the McCann case, it happened in the Joanna Yeates case, it's happening right now in the case of the woman who has gone missing in the Pyrenees.  I'm utterly amazed you are unaware of this phenomenon.

Two completely unlinked women, both unlikely to be sharing the same murderous boyfriend, eh?

Not off topic as such but just reading a piece from Do Carmo in 2017 through the medium of google translate where he says there is no deadline because they don't  know what crime was committed, this ties in with the missing person's stance by OG, so by that the limitations does not kick in until the crime is known.

We don't have a set deadline because we don't know what happened. If we were sure that we were facing a certain crime, we would have a deadline to respect it.
