Missing midwife from Stoke, looks like police have cordoned off a piece of rural land. I have to say it doesn’t look good but how sad.

Awful. Been following this story, it's quite near to us. Sad

On the FB post the hospital made everyone had such lovely things to say about her.

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 04/08/2018 16:43

BBC News saying her body has been found and 3 men arrested

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 04/08/2018 16:44

(Yet to be formally identified)

Oh no. I heard her sister's appeal yesterday and it was heartrending. So sorry for all of them.

BrokenFlipflop · 04/08/2018 16:45

This has actually made me feel truly sad. I have no connection to the family or to the area but I really hoped she'd be found alive and there would be some other explanation for her disappearance.

EdgeOf17 · 04/08/2018 17:00

So sad. RIP Flowers

eddiemairswife · 04/08/2018 17:08

Who are the arrested men?

SimonBridges · 04/08/2018 17:09

So dreadful.
I have family in that area so became aware of her missing because a lot of them were sharing pictures etc of her on FB.

Why do men do things like this?

NearWildHeaven · 04/08/2018 17:14

This is so very sad. Her sister's appeal was heart wrenching. I feel so sorry for the whole family and her colleagues and friends.

Let’s be careful not to make assumptions or it will get deleted.

Incredibly sad whatever has happened.

Two women every week die at the hands of their partner in the UK.

SimonBridges · 04/08/2018 17:18

I’m not making any assumptions but there is a very high probability that it was a man.

I understand that she was single but had broken off an engagement recently.

Previously arrested man (32) who was on bail pending investigation has been re-arrested on suspicion of murder and two further men (28 & 60) arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Oh dear, thinking of her family - this will be the news that they were dreading.

aleC4 · 04/08/2018 17:23

I have my theory, have since the beginning.
I don't think it is the ex.

WildImaginings · 04/08/2018 17:27

AleC4- I don't either. The ages don't match up. Until names are published we don't know for sure, so people should really stop posting as if it's a given it was him Hmm

Nanasueathome · 04/08/2018 17:29

It says the ex fiancé is 34
The ex fiancé’s BIL is 32
Was he the one previously arrested and then bailed?

Yes the ex-fiancé’s sister and her husband’s home was searched earlier in the week too.

Awful news. The BBC report said that she had recently sold her “never worn” wedding dress. Just dreadful.

Hi all,

Please do avoid speculation at this stage Flowers

Elinda · 04/08/2018 21:40

The ex partners sisters husband is the 32 year old who was released on bail and who's now been arrested again for suspect murder. I won't be putting his name out but his name and photo has already been published in newspapers.

The ex partner has not been a suspect at any point as far as I have understood.

The 28 and 60 year old arrested for assisting the 32 year old has not been named yet.

FlatPackFurnitureCompAnyone · 04/08/2018 22:04

I feel so angry about this.

You’ll hear no speculation from me but as has been mentioned, you can bet dollars to donuts it was a man.

That poor woman and her family and loved ones. What on earth has to happen for things to change?

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 05/08/2018 11:13

People are using the family members' personal facebook posts to argue, call each other names, and air their theories! 😓

ShirleyPhallus · 05/08/2018 16:10

The 28 and 60 year old arrested for assisting the 32 year old has not been named yet.

The ex-partner’s sisters dad is aged 60 and his house is being searched

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 05/08/2018 16:35

So the ex-partner’s dad? Or do they have different dads?
