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!

Could be right Pinetreeland.
Im from Ipswich and remember it well.
Just because someone is a bit 'odd' doesn't make them a murderer.

Fallot, those experiences v common I'm guessing. 17 years ago, with a towel wrapped around me I took something out of the fridge and turned around to see landlord looking at me. And because I was only 22, I didn't tear fifteen strips off him and tell him to fuck off. I thnk I politely said 'hello'. Because he was middleaged.

yes I got that wrong - apologies

Apologies for my previous post - in my sleepy stupour I misheard the news report on the radio when I woke up - I blame being drugged up for a pulled muscle in my back - I must have been hallucinating!

Not, charged, merely arrested on suspicion.

You may need some support to process this RealEyes (sorry about the jargon): it is a very shocking thing to witness, literally blow by blow. You've seen the coming and going, and seen the tremendous grief etched on the faces of the family - that can be very traumatising. I know there's a fine line between going over it all with a fine-tooth comb with a 'therapist' and just getting on with it, but maybe you could do with a few sessions just to get it all out in a safe environment? It's not safe on this thread, you've seen that.

I hope that the arrest does lead to a charge, it would at least mean that her family would know who was behind taking this young woman's life and see justice served.

I cannot begin to imagine what these poor people are going through, what they must be feeling and thinking - it must be agony.

I too thought the landlord looked a little "odd" and seemed very "upbeat" - you would imagine most people so close to Joanna would be shocked/concerned/frightened/sad but that's not basis enough to point the finger at him as everyone deals with grief differently. I would think the police have enough evidence, more then we're aware of, to arrest him at this stage.

Whatever the outcome from this arrest I hope that Joanna's family and boyfriend are getting lots of support. I hope that this doesn't drag on too long for them and that they can lay their daughter to rest and start to process everything that has happened to them. They're in my prayers.

Right- now people think they knew all along it was the landlord. Give me strength- and pull this thread.

I was up Clifton yesterday leaving my DD at a kids party.

And it was not a journey I wanted to take.

I looked at my DD beside me as we walked through and my heart was breaking for the parents of JY.

I hope to God they (the police) got the right one.

Seekers right,this should not be entertainment, this is many peoples lives destroyed.

Dito RealEyesRealiseRealLies says as well.

I see finger pointers are now making "Jokes" on this subject in yet another thread...

I don't find your "jokes" regarding murder funny in any way shape or form!

No one has been laughing at real life murder.

If you have an issue about a different thread I wonder that you are raising it here rather than there?

Not about murder, about rubber necking knitting huns.

And no, didn't think you would, mummiehunnie.

Seeker was that comment aimed at me? I didn't state I believed it to be the Landlord all along, I merely stated that I thought he was not acting in the way I would expect someone so close to poor Joanna to act but that thinking that was not enough to think it was him.

I feel terribly for Joanna's family, what they are going through is absolutely hellish, it must be pure agony and my thoughts and prayers are with them all.

I heard on the news that the landlord was telling locals what he had seen & the retracted it when asked by police.

Maybe he´s just an attention seeker?

Also, if it´s a landlord/tenant "relationship"-why would he be unduly upset?

diddl I agree - I think he was just trying to escape the hounding of the press especially murdoch media!

Detectives had been watching Joanna Yeates's landlord for several days before arresting him on suspicion of her murder, it emerged tonight.

Police arrested Chris Jefferies, 65, who lives in the building where Yeates had a flat, after reports that he had seen the Bristol landscape architect on the night she vanished were carried in the media.

But detectives had been keeping a close eye on retired public school teacher Jefferies even before his claims surfaced in public, sources with knowledge of the investigation said.

Do we know for a fact that the LL didn't speak to police ages ago? If he didn't, then it's obviously dodgy. But we don't know that for a fact do we? Could he have spoken to police several days ago, and then couldn't resist the temptation to start talking with neighbours and media about it?

I don't think he will be charged but can't put my finger on why I think this.

I don't think anyone can possibly comment without knowing what evidence the police may or may not have collected.

But a lot of MNers will look even sillier if he is released without charge.

I knew I recognised him. He's involved with the local Lib Dems, so are my parents. I've seen him helping with leaflets a couple of years back.

Disclaimer - this is the extent of my knowledge of him.
