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!

The link is below-

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

I agree with you largely, Mrsoo7, but can I just point out this is a discussion board/forum rather than a blog...a blog is usually one person's online journal.

Just so you know.

Lots of people drink cider! Also pear cider.

Yes pear cider is nice. I think I grew up in the old days when only people with dreadlocks drank the stuff.

I think the attacks on feenie were unfair and wrong. Shh did say several times, or imply, she knew more than was in the public demain. That is more disrespectful - hey look at me I know stuff - than anyone who called her on it.

Lets not turn this into a slanging match - I think that is far more disrespectful than commenting on what may have happened to Joanna.
If you don't like the nature of the thread then why keep returning to it?

Sorry stand corrected meant to say forum of which this is.

You're right, Tomorrow - it's horrid, and I think I'll hide it now, rather than start trying to explain what was said earlier etc etc.

We are all having a go at each other over the way we are reacting to the situation and it's not helpful to anyone.

Over and out.

What is being discussed on here is no different to what is being discussed in offices pubs etc all across the country.
I fail to see how it is disrepectful to discuss concerns and the information that has already been put in the public domain by the police and Joanna's family.
But if it is going to turn into a slanging match again then I won't be posting anymore.

mrs007 have you actually read this thread? (tried to hide it but it's on ones 'I'm on' so the damn thing keeps popping up!)

Several posters a few pages back were gleefully speculating on the likelihood of her immediate family's guilt, commenting on the 'creepiness' of her father, how his reactions didn't quite measure up to their expectations of how he ought to have reacted and behaved.

It sickened me then and it still does.

While I'm here, I'd like to say thanks to all of you who commented so kindly about my brother - much appreciated. Still hurts like hell.

I'm now really finding all this miss marple stuff actually quite funny. For goodness sake yes people do still drink cider - I do and I live in a mansion with 20 bedrooms.

Mrsoo7 - some of the comments deleted were aimed directly at family members and were disgusting.

I find it outrageous that posters seriously believe that calling some MNers on their horrible behaviour here is somehow (baffingly) disrespectful - but apparently saying vile things about her boyfriend and family, or boasting that you know more about a case, is fine - I'd even 'acting with decorum'!

or even

Well said Lovecat.

If whats on the thread is genuinely what's being discussed in offices and pubs everywhere, then frankly,that doesn't say a lot for the British public. And I have to say, I'd be moving the conversation on quite swiftly if I was sat in the pub and people started up about it.

Genuine concern is one thing. Prurient speculation is quite another.

am so sorry for your loss love cat

please dont be tempted to read this anymore

I have done nothing but discuss the facts that are already known that have been released by the police.
Sorry if that offends you.
I will be hiding the thread now.
Bye

What a horrible thread! This isn't about respecting a poor young woman who has lost her life but idiots amateur detectives spouting utter bollocks.

Tbh I find this censorship v.annoying. If you don't like the thread, just hide it.

This thread has remained, with a very few exceptions, respectful towards Joanna's family.

Speculation-well, yes, people will do that, quite a natural way of dealing with such an awful affair.

Joanna was last seen alive leaving her flat with two people according to sky news

here

I am 100pc with lovecat as I had the same thought as her post above when I read today's papers about her dad's remarks. Also when I heard that the police are excluding the boyfriend from list of suspects.

There has been horrid speculation and innuendo on this thread which IMO is inconsiderate if not bad mannered.

The only censorship that has occurred is where MN have concurred with posters than some comments where offensive, and self imposed censorship which again MN agreed with.

No one is asking for any more than that. And if you don't like that, then I suggest you either take it up with MN or hide the thread yourself, winnybella.

"this censorship v.annoying. If you don't like the thread, just hide it." ....... abit like saying that if the family doesn't like what the Sun prints hen they should just not buy it.

lovecat has pointed out the insensitivity of the speculation but for some reason this is secondary compared to people's need to over-speculate. Horrid!

Were, stupid phone

lovecat- thanks for being brave and coming back on the thread to knock some realism into it. warm hugs

'The Guardian is now saying that the police believe she knew her killer.'

Well, duh. 9 times out of 10, if a woman is not connected to drugs or prostitution, her killer is someone she knows. But it could be a stranger, too.

It's all speculation until the case is solved, hopefully soon.

yes expat. I feel that the media is now restating the obvious and trying to feed the story in the absence of new facts to sell papers. Hopefully that helps to find the murderer.
