If this Man is completely innocent , hundreds of people that know him in his home town incl friends and family will always think he was involved cos they saw his picture in the Sun. Another mans name and reputation destroyed in a moment.

Newspapers can be a force for good by this trashy tabloid should have closed down years ago .... Don't buy the Sun...!!!

The Sun is a newspaper
I can buy it

Then he can collect his Van (which was down by a river)
and get out the way.

They fact the scum values sensationlism above the welfare and life of a little girl comes as no suprise the people that buy,defend or even give any publicity to that disgusting rag are free to do so but it speaks volumes about their morality that they are willing to financially support people that have hindered child murder investigations in the past just to make money.

Is that the man that was arrested last night? Maybe he took the girl?

[AnnieK]

The Police released a lot of information about this guy very quickly which they wouldn't do if they weren't sure he had some kind of sinister involvement in this case. I agree the newspapers should NOT be allowed to try and take matters into their own hands with this - but the Sun especially seems to be a law unto itself and I would never buy it.....
If anyone was to release his picture - it should be the Police if they think it would help trigger some recognition from the public.....

Am losing hope now that she is going to be found safe - if she is out there somewhere I just hope to God she is found quickly....

despite extensive searches overnight
Officers urged public to leave the searching
to 'trained and skilled teams'
Police reveal another attempted
abduction took place in area last month"

Another trial by media I see. The press in this country is a bloody disgrace.

[Novo]

Mr Bridger, a father-of-six who had been the police’s prime suspect… Neighbours said he was a former soldier who had worked as a lifeguard, a welder, and at a slaughterhouse. He had two vehicles, one of which was a left-hand drive Land Rover Discovery made in Spain. Police had earlier said that April was seen getting into the driver’s side of the vehicle, which they suggested could mean a left-hand drive vehicle was used in the abduction.

Indeed, Det Supt Bevan said:

“Furthermore April has been described as getting into the driver’s side of the vehicle. This may be because she got in with the driver or that it is left hand drive vehicle. We still believe that the van is grey or light coloured, but again these things can be affected by failing light and street lamps. The indications are that she got into the vehicle willingly… There’s nothing to suggest at this stage there was a struggle.”

Back to the Telegraph, which seeks to balance its report:

Ben Edwards, 22, a neighbour, said: “He is a nice guy, and absolutely brilliant with his son and daughter. He was always putting his kids first.” He said Mr Bridger was “into his cars” and was “never the type to cause any trouble whatsoever”.

His Land Rover


I thought they said it was a Van?


The Police Photo
from yesterday


"Officers have now officially named Mark Bridger
as the man suspected of abducting April
as she played near her home in Machynlleth
on Monday evening - although they stressed
that he was one of several lines of inquiry.

Sadly the more time that passes I think the less likely they are to find this poor little girl alive - it's awful how can people hurt a child? I really hope they do find April alive but it seems odd that they have stopped the public searching now and called in experts - sadly I don't think it bodes well.

I agree, and they seem to be focusing on the river a lot

I sadly have to agree with your post, especially the bit I have bolded I still hold out hope she is found, and soon and alive, but it seems less likely now as time stretches out Abduction news is so, so sad, especially where children are involved. Can't even begin to understand how the parents, family, and friends are feeling at the moment. I am still praying that the outcome is a good one.

That is very worrying but I think the police know more than they are letting on, especially having arrested this Bridger chap and found his car - it just makes me go cold even thinking about it

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Sadly thousands of children go missing everyday not reported nationwide, but those that are reported the parents on the night most of the times seem to have been extra careless that night. McKans left Madi alone, and this one, if you look at the pics of their house and how far April was playing hmm...I just don't know. The police have taught me you can't rule out parents in these situations.

The following extract, part of which I bolded, taken from the Sky News Site- Link - is also worrying if he is indeed involved in the abduction.

"He was arrested on the A487 just north of the Dyfi Bridge, walking in the direction of Machynlleth, and he was wearing a camouflage green jacket, black waterproof overtrousers and camouflage trousers beneath those.
Police search in Machynlleth. Search efforts continued through the night

"The Land Rover Discovery was recovered from a repair garage in the Old Station Road area of Machynlleth on Tuesday afternoon."

Yes, but Toilet tissue is cheaper and doesn't clog up the toilet as much.

[Kazanne]

aw,her mom on TV now,feel so bad for this family.

[MTVN]

Yeah I don't think they should have released all that info about the suspect yet, remember what happened after Chris Jefferies was arrested for the Joanna Yates thing, the Sun carried loads of headlines about what a monster and evil bastard he was and then it turned out he was completely innocent

I may be the only one here, but as sad as this case is, I still would like to believe the main suspect is innocent until proven guilty. I've seen so many cases were people, as main suspects, have been arrested and been made to look guilty, then the police actually find the real perpetrator.

true enough Ben, you can't help but wonder why he's being held for so long though

[Novo]

Look at his face in that picture it has guilty written all over it

True , but many suspects have been held for a while and had absolutely nothing to do with it. It just annoys me that some people are so fickle to instantly believe what the media tells them. He may or may not be guilty, but until he is proven guilty I'd like to think he is innocent.

Novo, I like you, but stop being a douchebag. The media are not going to print a nice, happy picture of him. They want him to look sinister.
