Jacksgranda Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Their story is so ludicrous it just might be true. Then again, maybe not. This lassie hasn't been seen by a dentist, a social worker or a doctor in 19 years. Was this care arrangement a private affair between the couple and the girl's family? Even so, as she has a disability/learning difficulty I would have thought Social Services would have been involved, but apparently not. How has she travelled to Poland etc? Has she got a passport (for identification purposes for airport security)? If not she must have travelled by ferry/train/car. Someone must have driven her, she couldn't have had a license. Were there no clothes in her room? That would give an indication whether she was actually living there. According to her "carers", she just walked out with no money, no suitcase and no means of travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 And another thing - we have to keep records of the expenditure of the young adult we care for, and I mean records: Income on one page, expenditure (complete with receipts) in another. It's not sufficient to just write "£50.00 spending money/tech money", I usually pay by card which provides a receipt of whatever he's spending be it cinema tickets, clothes, magazines, dvds, whatever. These financial records are inspected regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Yes I did. But I passed every penny on to Eddie, and he made sure that she got it. We never kept or used any of it" Aye right. Plus, if she wasn't at home. they either posted it to an address or sent it via the banking system, so surely they can supply some proof that can be traced to the girl herself. Put this pair in a room with Gerry & Kate, see who breaks first. 1 hour ago, Jacksgranda said: Their story is so ludicrous it just might be true. Then again, maybe not.

Maybe Kilbowie2002 could enlighten us as to the likely form of questioning, and what lines of enquiry the police might be pursuing here ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I think this is maybe just a case of the police being happy enough to let them speak as much as they can and just waiting to pounce after some time when they've tied themselves up in so many knots. I think the police have allowed these sorts of appeals before as a means of just building evidence and guiding their investigation. Either that or, much much less likely, she's been some secret criminal genius for years and the police have evidence of this. The couple don't really seem the brightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) You'll not need to be the brightest in the force to untangle their pish, there's certainly no evidence of a knife sharpener in that household.

Sergeant Wilson Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think she's missing at all. The house just needs a good de-clutter, I'm sure she'll turn up behind a pile of old Daily Records and brochures for farm foods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
