How can you know? Could well be. Or could be the relative that she knew that also owns the vehicle she got into...

Kay Burley gets right up my nose. I hope to be interviewed by her one day so i can tell her what a stupid cow she is.

46 year old male is a local to the area. He is assisting Police.

Have the PH super sleuths solved the mystery yet?

In all seriousness, I do hope it has a happy ending. As a parent, I would be beside myself if (god forbid) my lad disappeared.

Agree on the comments re:Kay Burley - was actually going to post about it earlier.

She was running around the like a headless chicken sticking her camera in peoples faces asking for comment. Twice people said they didn't want to speak and she kept on at them anyway.

As to the locals, well meaning bunch but yes quite a few of them were in no state to go up - especially when they showed how muddy the ground was. I got the impression that the police would have preferred not to have to deal with them. A lot of them were complaining that they were kept for a 3 hours before they were paired up with guides to take them up. Probably a good decision by the police.

probably a known offender

roy whiting had previous, unfortunatly after the first time of getting caught they don't let the kids go and talk a second time.

Is it her father?

It’s a positive development that someone has been arrested so soon – fingers crossed that the girl is found safe and well

[oobster]

Hope this is all resolved with a positive outcome in the next few hours, horrible to see this

[MadMullah]

The Sky Helicopter was showing some sort of Police activity on the bridge earlier. There was a couple of Officers running along the river bank too.

I hope this turns out well. This story has upset me from the minute I heard it on the news this morning.

BBC News Reporter just said that "a woman was seen in tears being taken driven through the corden, believed to be a relative of April"

Really really starting to think the worst now

[MadMullah]

The fact the mother didn't come at the press conf speaks volumes.
