Raynor Winn/Sally Walker's statement Raynor Winn

NB Please be careful when it comes to naming or implicating people who aren't in the public eye or have no connection to the story, especially where details are unclear or still emerging i.e. DON'T DO IT.

Keep on the path. No saltiness. Thank you.

New posters welcome. It would be helpful to read at least the three Observer articles before posting.

Reporting for duty!

Thanks for the new thread

The question is,.can I stay awake till the Observer article comes out?

Me too.
Can't believe we've done 6 threads in as many days!

Am here for it! Thanks @DisappointedReader

I'm absolutely boiling and want to lie quietly in the dark with wet flannels.

Come on, Observer!

The problem is we don’t know if it will come out at midnight or 6am. I am contemplating going to bed if it’s not out by quarter past midnight.

I came to lie in a darkened room two hours ago. Somehow I knew that I wouldn't sleep until this week's Observer was up. But I've done a couple of their crosswords whilst waiting 😀

Thanks @DisappointedReader !

Just to be clear I am periodically refreshing:
the Observer website
the Observer section of the Readly app and
the Observer’s X account (they published last week’s video about it at 7am so not expecting that to be the first place it appears.)

Thanks for the new thread @DisappointedReader

She is some chancer.

She lied, wrote a book and made money.

People who bought the book should be refunded.

This is it, in a nutshell!

And thank you @DisappointedReader for the new thread, much appreciated.

We are going to be far too busy dissecting the cider farm owner’s story to be educating someone on the discussion and facts of our 5 previous threads. They are all contained above if she wants to read through them.

From @Lunde on Thread 5:

I presume that the Observer article tomorrow is going to be pretty damning given the sudden influx of deflectors trying to excuse stealing

Was thinking along those lines myself.

Thank you!

Me too

I do wish @Pianogirl1994 would answer my question.

Why do you keep tagging them @MrsKypp ?

Because I want them to answer my question. But I will give up soon.

Well nothing updated at midnight so I am not sure when they are going to release the story. I may go to bed.

Just to note that she ran away to avoid questioning. Her car was found miles away with a note.

tim then went looking for her and found her in London - he then told the relative she had taken credit cards out in his name that he hadn’t known about

the police questioned her but dropped the investigation because she paid Martin hemmings back. So it’s not that she wasn’t charged but that the investigation was stopped

Here's The Times article from earlier, it has a photo of the house, and mentions the dogs.

No more tagging please. It would have been good to leave this issue behind on the last thread rather than encourage it to continue and derail on the new one.
