This is sooo dodgy. There’s no recent photos of them, no one knows why they were there.
They were fully clothed. Handbags on the beach.
Their mum was found dead in a lake 16 yrs ago in Birmingham.
Police have reviewed 100’s of hours og cctv footage and nothing.
What the actual fuck?!

They were found at that time. Nobody knows what time they entered the water.

Yes true I did wonder that. Still all rests on any sightings and CCTV to
determine timings.

A 17yo girl was pulled off her bike, raped and murdered after a night out in the Netherlands a while ago. Her last name was not released, nor were any pictures, at the request of her family. Quite possible this family do not want any pictures released, for whatever reason. They don't owe anyone a picture or an explanation for a lack thereof.

They have released pics though. They released an AI altered version which people thought was strange and then that one of them with their dad but it was when they were much younger. They have the AI pic on their gofundme too.

Whats unusual is that they dont appear to have any photos that arent AI altered of them since they were teenagers. I dont think anyone is saying they owe anyone pictures either, just that the way its happened is a little unusual

Apparently Christina Walter had recently graduated from Brunel university according to the Times.

Everyone I know is speculating about it- how could they not? the circumstances are weird as hell and nothing makes any sense. Of course people are going to talk about it and wonder.

Of course it makes sense, these events are quite common, the sea is dangerous.. The only thing different about this to numerous similar tragedies all round the coast is that it made national news. In Withernsea recently a mother, daughter and a would-be rescuer all drowned in similar circumstances - why is no one on this thread expressing their conspiracy speculations about that?

The family specifically read in their statement something like they don’t go clubbing or drink yet they were out at 5am? It’s odd either way.

It looks like that happened in the afternoon, and there were witnesses, so they know exactly what happened.

That isnt the case in Brighton. They found three people dead with no explanation as to what happened yet. Accidental drowning is of course likely but we still dont know why they were there or how

femfemlicious · 28/05/2026 10:23

Who are they?. Why no pictures or social media?. Where did they work?. There is just zero information about them which is really strange. I feel they eere confined since childhood and escaped.

FancyKeyboard · 28/05/2026 10:31

It is all a bit odd combined together, that's why people are speculating. We want to make sense of strange things, so that we can convince ourselves it won't happen to us, or again to someone else.

Sisters having a drink and paddling is not odd in itself. Three sisters who were always together, apparently, not having any photos is unusual. The death of their mum is unusual. The missing younger sibling who did have photos. The fact (whether true or not) that they were said to not drink.

Based on the above I would think it could be mental health issues at play here rather than misadventure, but who knows. So sad either way.

SidekickSylvia · 28/05/2026 10:31

So the father's late wife drowned in a lake 16 years ago, then he remarried and had another daughter. His 3 daughters from the first marriage have drowned and his youngest daughter from the second marriage is missing. An older daughter (or niece?) was also missing, but has since been found in America? That's just info from this thread, is it true/confirmed?

RLSSQualified · 28/05/2026 10:35

Since this terrible tragedy, nine other people have drowned in cold water incidents around the UK.

To reach any other conclusion other than it is an incredibly risky activity would be perverse in the extreme.

Yep this heatwave has sadly resulted in quite a number of teenagers dying getting in to trouble swimming in open waters. The fact it is half term doesn’t help and searingly hot.

This tragedy is very different. Not a heatwave swim. A middle of the night paddle in terrible conditions. With a Mum that has drowned and other members of the family apparently missing? Though I’m not sure if that is confirmed. I don’t know why people are acting like this is all a normal turn of events .

I don’t know about the youngest sibling being missing but all the rest, yes all confirmed.

I suppose potentially logical. Just to me the absence of family/friends/colleagues coming forward saying they were there for X reason makes me suspicious

How do you know they haven't come forward and told the police? We, the general public, have no right to expect grieving family members and friends to tell us all of that. In any case, if there is anything relevant, the police may have told them not to make it public for the time being.

The three girl's mother drowned in a lake in 2012.

Their father remarried - Genevieve Jacobson, and they had a daughter, Lillian.

She was reported missing by Bedfordshire police in 2015. Apparently, she left to go to school and never returned home and the police were saying she could be with her mum who uses "different names". Then at some point she moved to America. But it seems she was still listed as missing in 2021 which is bizarre- why did noone tell the police she wasnt missing any more?

Now the family is saying Lillian is coming over from America to arrange the funeral and is devastated (understandably).

There seems to be no record anywhere of the three women either

And people wonder why there is speculation about this case?

I agree, but it is really unusual in a situation like this that nobody except family has publicly talked about them.

Good luck with trying to arrange a funeral for £40. Average basic funeral costs in the UK are around £3K.

She probably meant 40k.
But the average cost is 3k it is obscene to be adding for 45k.
And given that the formal be most likely all the together, world be a lot cheaper than the separate
Cheeky (at best) to tap up complete strangers

They already came forward with photos and a statement so why would they not just say (if they know) that ‘yes, the girls were there for X’.

I agree, it’s awful. Whoever set it up explicitly states the money is for the funerals so why not stop the fundraising at £12k?

HelenHan67 · 28/05/2026 11:06

This is tone deaf and in really poor taste. Stop speculating about a tragedy. @mumsnet

Feis123 · 28/05/2026 11:11

This is scary - like when everyone who should be investigating is either totally indifferent or stupid.

I can't tell you how sorry I felt for the parents of that guy, don't remember the name, who was a spy and who was murdered and put in a bag in a bath, a zipped up bag. I can just imagine the grief and torture for his parents - when the officials said, that 'he played a sex game, put himself in a bag, zipped it, in the bath'. I wanted to scream at the inept bastards. Failed him by not investigating properly and then smeared him, portraying him a pervert, for the whole world to smirk. Absolute bastards.

The father and mother had already divorced and the father re-married and had another daughter before his ex-wife drowned shortly after she left medical care for mental health issues.

GingerLeopard · 28/05/2026 11:35

I watched a tiktok yesterday in which the lady talking said that all of the things she was saying were out there, public knowledge and verifiable (albeit I haven't looked them up myself, but have now read this thread and many of the same things are being said here).
The three sisters mother died by drowning, there was another sister who was a missing person, also with a large GoFundMe, who was later found in America, but is apparently still classed as a missing person here, with the go fund me still viewable. There are absolutely no real photos - not even individual ones. There doesn't seem to be any online presence, even on workplace websites etc.
I do take what I watch on tiktok and read online with a large pinch of salt, but if all of those things are true, I can't help but think what an extremely unlucky family that is.

The family have publicly said to newspapers that they do not know why they were there.

One would assume they are saying the same thing to the police.

fartotheleftside · 28/05/2026 11:40

They came from quite a troubled family, it seems. Sister went missing as a teenager, mother drowned, I read also that the father has been very ill himself for a long time.

Sadly it does open up non-accidental possibilities.

I imagine they did have pictures of the three of them, but just on each other's phones, which the police and family won't be able to access.

I wouldn't trust an aunt saying that they were homebodies and didn't drink, particularly if they came from a conservative background (African?). Plenty of people with immigrant families keep drinking and partying a secret!
