I have not read all of this thread but have been following events in the media .
Clearly , there will be information known to the investigators which has not been released , and for all we know Bridger may have admitted killing April .
Notwithstanding the above , I wonder if we can completely discount the possibility that Bridger did not act alone and that he may have passed her to others who may have taken her out of the area before the alarm was raised - hence she has not been found ?
I have wondered about the possibility that she may still be alive , in the hands of a group of paedophiles for whom Bridger abducted her ? I expect the possibility has been considered and dismissed .
