Where are they? How can they go missing? Hope they are ok

AER Lingus state that British and Irish citizens can travel using photo driving licences. Children under the age of 16 don't require ID if travelling with parents.

Ah thank you. I don't have have drivers licence though so I guess I better pay to renew my passport.

I do have government ID though 🧐
Thanks so much for finding that for me & bringing it to my attention

Would a provisional license work?

I don't see why not, so long as it's still valid and not expired.

Its unlikely they wouldnt get spotted at an airport

Plus the child doesnt have a birth certificate

I hope they are well. All 3 of them.

Yes I hope so too.

Could she have carried the baby through in her coat, if on the ferry they might have managed this. Although surely they would have checked cctv.

I'd hazard a guess they've been found & are all safe because the media has gone quiet & no fresh appeal.

When they find a missing person who they had issued a public appeal for, they publish that they've been found 'safe and well', albeit with no further details.

Otherwise when this person reappeared and tried to go about their normal life, they'd be receiving sightings left right and centre from the public, and the formerly missing person would probably feel uncomfortable with well meaning strangers taking photos as evidence of such sightings.

One recent Met Police case where this happened was Owami Davies

No news just means they haven't any updates they want to put into the public domain. We don't know if they've had zero leads or they've had lots and are about to make a breakthrough and don't want to spook CM & MG.

Ok that makes sense, thank you.

@LastOfTheChristmasWine thank you for that link. I had no idea they'd found Owami.

Why because I think some people are not fit to be parents. I know someone who has had 7 babies removed due to drugs yet she keeps having more. So you think it’s good she keeps on having babies then?

Just come up on Sky News just now that there's now a £10J reward for information. It must be very serious as the police seem determined to find them.

£10K

Thanks for the update, I'm guessing family may have put it up?
Says as well that definitely believe they're sleeping rough. I wonder did they stay in London.

Wow

I think the £10k shows they're short on leads but think someone out there knows more than they're letting on, and are hoping the money will loosen their lips.

The family might have put up the reward, but they don't seem terribly engaged in the whole affair - not publicly anyway, and if it had been them I'd expect it to say "the family are offering" not "detectives are offering a £10k reward"

More likely IMO is that the police have decided £10k is cheap compared to all the staff time that's going on this case.

I guess at this stage they can't just say fuck it, we're calling off the search, with the whole of the Uk knowing the baby is out there somewhere. Hopefully the 10k reward works.

I read an article saying they dumped their pushchair which I find a bit worrying.

Yeah the bbc article says they were last seen 8th Jan and took a taxi to Newhaven on the coast which I don’t think we’ve been told before? They had dumped the pushchair on brick lane the day before

The family might have put up the reward, but they don't seem terribly engaged in the whole affair - not publicly anyway.

Constance’s father and Mark Gordon’s mother have put out pleas for them to hand themselves in.
Now maybe the families of the missing couple have been told to keep a low profile.
None of us know what’s going on behind the scenes.

They did put out an appeal but it took fully two weeks for them to do so.

I completely agree that we don't know what's going on behind the scenes (though we do know she's estranged from her family)

Did they not just start looking for them after the car was found partially burnt out with placenta inside? They may have gone back through cctv to follow their movements after this.
Not sure of the dates though.
I thought her dad's plea sounded quite heartfelt.
