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!

Speculation may be natural - but civilized opeople resist the urge to indulge.

well said seeker. What you say at the dining table/pub cannot cause the same sort of damage as what you blog.

I confess that I have speculated a little offline with my mother in law but I think that is very different

I am not trying to defend those that made comments about the father/boyfriend making them feel uncomfortable etc.
That is bang out of order.

This thread reminds me of one that the daily mirror ran when Madeleine McCann went missing. There were absolutely vile and disgusting comments on there about how it must have been her parents and the reasons why. In the end it was removed. I'm nit saying thus thread is the same but there us one thing having a chat and speculating whodunnit over a glass of wine in the pub and another thing actually writing things down.

It is distasteful to allude to knowing more just to look like you are important. It may not be meant in that tone but it sure does come across that way. And all this business about it being the boyfriend is very hurtful. It's fine to discuss but at least get facts before accusing. And let's face it we don't have any real facts just what the police are feeding the press.

I hope everyone who did say it was the boyfriend is now feeling guilty for the pain they may have caused any relative reading this.

Those of you who are finding the thread distateful, if you stop posting you will stop bumping it to the top of active threads!!

Apparantly according to SN Landlord was positive one of the 3 people leaving the building was Joanna, however couldn't say whether the other 2 people were male or female - how can he (landlord)positively identify Joanna in the group but not be able to distinguish even the sex of the other parties. Mind you it is a report by Martin Brunt of SN so maybe not that reliable journalism!

The police have been keeping that quiet for a reason so what is the landlord doing talking to the media?

Or I assume the police already knew of this and have chosen not to make it public.

Chipping in I am not saying this should not be discussed but that people need to be aware of what they say. This is a public forum and if they have information they should certainly not be saying this here. Either talk to the police or if they are part of the investigation then even worse.

I personally think she may have been followed home from the pub. Someone may have overheard her telling colleagues she was on her own etc and the person may have taken the opportunity. I dont think she knew her killer or if she did then very loosely.

Whatever it's absolutely dreadful and i hope this person gets caught quickly and that justice is done.

ChippinIn, it's the distasteful comments of a few posters for me, not the thread itself. I'll post where I like, thanks.

And weren't you the poster who told TDada that 'telling other people how to behave isn't your place'?

Lovecat I didn't comment before because I didn't think you were reading this, but I'm desperately sorry for your family's loss.

I also think some of the commentary here has been rubber-necking and distasteful, and to then decribe as inappropriate those posters who expressed that view struck me as pretty ironic. There's a line between speculating and ghoulish enjoyment, and at times I also felt that line was crossed.

Still can't understand why some posters consider comments on this forum not to their liking and use emotive language to try and make posters feel uncomfortable about what they post - there opinions and everybody is entitled to them - one doesn't have to agree with what is posted by another but hopefully it leads to a healthy sensitive debate of the subject - only a Troll wouldn't agree.

Because, mrsoo7, as many people have tried to tell you, some posts were very distasteful towards the family and boyfriend, and were a long way from 'healthy debate' - they were quite the opposite. MN agreed, and deleted them.

Are you saying then that MNHQ are trolls? What exactly do you mean by that comment?

That's the problem with mumsnet and why I don't often post. Unless you are a regular you are deemed a troll. Tbh I mainly only ever post on here if I have a medical or consumer question as I do find people very helpful. For general debates it's so full of cliques and anyone who might disagree with the general thread is deemed a trouble maker or troll.

Sadly, Lovecat, if she hasn't got it thus far from reading your posts, she isn't going to. Lord knows why.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish I could see a way of hiding threads in Threads I'm On for you.

Thanks, Feenie :)

Don't worry about me, it's those without a scrap of empathy that should be pitied.

To be honest I think Joanna Got home that night , ate the pizza in her house! She may have then went to put it in the bins (wherever they are located). This explains why her keys / bag etc are left behind! From here it is unclear what happens , she may have been abducted or she may have returned to her flat. She then may have been killed either that night or the next day. With Regards to the pizza as she was not reported missing for a number of days after the bins may have been collected and the pizza wrappings long gone!

This is my theory ,

Either way RIP Joanna :(

I feel partly why this situation with Joanna interests me is that my freind was murdered, it was a long time ago, before the internet. I haven't mentioned it previously to those attacking, people were speaking about her and discussing things including about her family in real life, that is how things are. My friend had a horrible death and it upset me a great deal at the time. I remember I used to see people who looked like her walking along and I would have to remind myself she was dead. I have had so much life since and I remember her from time to time and her life cut short. I would not have a problem with people discussing her death to this day.

The man who killed my friend, when her mother asked him if he had seen her (when she was missing) he told her the friend had gone off with a bunch of guys, and pointed to somewhere she had not been, he knew all the things he had done to her including sexual assault and desmembering her, and had her mother/police looking in the wrong place.

Her parents had to wait a long time to bury her, thankfully the man was found in time and put behind bars. He is probably free now!

Gosh, hope you've all contacted the incident room with these theories. I mean, I doubt the expert detectives have managed to think of them.

Cro, someone linked the landlord is now saying he saw definatly he leave at 9pm with two other people who he has no idea if they are male or female. Would he have his own keys to her flat?

that's terrible mummieH.
about your friend

It was a long time ago, I was a teenager. Yes she died a horrible death, she lived a full short life, sometimes good, sometimes bad. I used to look at her pictures after and feel so sad for her, and once Joanna was found, I felt that sad feeling looking at her pictures. You feel for the family. It does not mean that you are not allowed to discuss the case.

No one said that the case couldn't be discussed, MummieHunnie, but within the bounds of decency - which MNHQ agreed with.

I didn't see the mnhq post. What bounds of decency do they state they want the thread discussed within?
