Exactly. In police statement they were suggesting this 10 minute window where NB cannot be accounted for. From what I gather this is simply the time between the last witness sighting (9.10am) and the phone signal (9.20am) data showed phone was located near bench. Phone/ Willow was found around 9.30am. So I don’t get the 10 minutes thing, doesn’t really mean anything. She went missing between 9.10 and 9.30, surely?
IMO there were other anomalies in police statement… and I’m paraphrasing:
All abandoned buildings within a 1km radius have been searched- What about none abandoned buildings. (Obviously warrants would be needed, but giving this as a reason why she hasn’t been taken seems ludicrous.) - and what about buildings more than 1km out?
There’s no way she has left the river area- IMO there’s absolutely no way of confirming this in such a rural area.
All CCTV has been checked- so they’ve accounted for and questioned every vehicle leaving the area within the 2 hour time frame? Doubt it. What about since then or if say she was in the boot of a car? I just don’t see how it can be ruled out.
Locked gates thing- as PP have said this seems fairly obvious that gates can be unlocked.
Still area not covered by CCTV. So again no way of ruling out she didn’t leave river area so how can you say it.
Asked how deep river is- answer was various depths, but what about in the immediate vicinity of the bench where she would most likely have fallen.
I’m really wouldn’t be surprised if the family aren’t happy. Although we may not know everything.
