Joanna Yeats missing since 17/12/10

[Nando95]

Hi all I am just posting this in order to keep Joannes name in the public domain- This case is very mysterious and so far the police have no real leads although her parents suspect she has been abducted!

Hopefully someone has the information needed to bring Joanna hope safe and well- her parents are distraught!

Quite, it would be a really obvious line of inquiry to make sure he was really miles away.

Fab I'm almost certain he said 'he is not a suspect' as well as 'he is a witness'.

The DCI seemed to be very cagey.

Surely they would know if she had ate the pizza.
He wouldn't say if she had a coat on.
No expansion on state if flat.

Fwiw I do think it's someone known to her. That she was expecting to see-maybe even share a pizza with- what did she buy at bargain booze?

I wouldn't be surprised if she had another set if keys.

I know, all those things still unanswered.

I guess they have their reasons.

If you were leaving with someone who also had a set of keys you might leave your own behind.

I've forgotten my keys many times, with no particular reason.

We will just have to leave them to it and be patient. I hope there are answers soon for the sake of those who live locally. It must be frightening.

they would have pursued the bf as a main suspect first and foremost.

Most noteably there was no suggestion that women in the area should be particularly cautious, which would imply that they don't think it's a stranger.

I still think the suggestion that she was "abducted" is relevant - it's an odd thing to say tbh, and I still wonder whether there is something we don't know - maybe she was in trouble; had got herself into debt or similar and had borrowed money from some unsavery individuals (god knows there are enough of them out there), why would someone have reason to believe that theyir adult daughter would be "abducted"?

Why would anyone be abducted due to debt? That doesn't make any sense.

I hope they are following up the thing about the woman who was harassed last year, by that onine chap - the name was the same as her friend's name, though it could have been a different person entirely.

I just hope they are following up everything.

They haven't speculated on motivation, and as far as I recall no-one asked about evidence of sexual assault ( which is different to being clothed, as he said). And she had nothing on her ot suspect a robbery, though the assailant may not have known this at the time. It could still be an attempted robbery. We can speculate that a pizza and some alcohol she wasn't planning on going out again that night.

Am sure the released info. ( or lack of it) isn't for our consumption - it's for the assailant, so we can't rely give it verasity.

good point wannabe - no warnings issued re other women's safety.

There was a question about sexual assault and the DCI said he was keeping an open mind on that too.

He refused to comment on exactly what she was wearing, on exactly what other injuries she had (nothing significant apparently) and would not comment on what she had eaten either.

Basically he wouldn't say anything much, but he was asked all these things.

The trouble with the mobile phone tracking is that surely it only tells police where the mobile phone was,and not necessarily where someone was.

Of course the odds are that the mobile phone was with the owner,but it's always possible it wasn't the case.

I wonder if a neighbour or friend visited her. It certainly looks more than likely that it's someone who was known to her.

who knows, orange, perhaps to take her to a cash point to get their money? And if she didn't have it ...

It's obviously just a theory - and we none of us know. But the "abducted" comment struck me as odd from the very beginning. I wouldn't think that someone had been abducted unless I had reason to think there was someone wanting to abduct them, iyswim.

It´s all very tragic & mysterious, isn´t it?

Her poor, poor family.

very and a horrible way to die.

Presumably the BF went out and about when he was staying with family and they could find CCTV footage of him in shops/garage/parking car etc?

wannabe, she had no money worries apparently.

Although everything I've seen seems to point to it being someone known to her I am incredibly nervous living in Bristol.

I hope the police catch whoever it was soon. Poor girl.

I think the abduction idea comes from her parents based on the state of her flat. I'd be interested in how many hours the bf had been home before he reported her missing at midnight. No doubt more will come out in time.

The bf returned home at 8 and reported her missing at midnight.

Well this is it - the DCI wouldn't answer questions about the state of the flat. The parents decided within 30 minutes that she had been abducted, despite the boyfriend not perceiving anything to be wrong for the few hours he had been there already...they said they knew how she lived and what things she would normally do, but surely the boyfriend knew that better, as he lived there.

It's so strange. I can't figure out any of it.

awful for BF - the anxieities he must have been going through.

perhaps the parents were clutchign at straws re - abduction.

in those four hours, he noticed a missing g/f, a cat that was going crazy from not being fed, coat/bag etc lying around, flat obviously in a state the parents would not deem normal...

The parents said the couple was quite untidy. So unless the flat had been left in an unfeasibly orderly state I just don't get it.

Where did you read the parents said the couple were both untidy?

So do you think the flat was found very tidy?

No idea. Maybe it was in the press conference they did originally.

I can't remember. But to say that and then to say they knew from the state of the flat that she had been taken, well, I don't know what it means.

So her boyfriend didn´t think it odd that her bag/keys were there & she wasn´t?
