They found a pair of shoes the other day and did'nt comment on them....

 Yes it seems something changed. Glad they got more time to question him, although its not long till 5pm tomorrow.............I cant say how i feel about him, i would be banned

Nothing worse than platitudes that mean nothing, but i do wish in my heart for April, i can say no more  

I don't quite get why they are saying about him having been at the Parent's Night, as if it was some strange and ominous thing. He has two daughters at that school, so what's so strange about him being at the Parent's Night?

So where is this information coming from?

I thought that when I read that this morning.  Why bring it up?  Then again it's news sites sensationalising the trivial details.

I've got to say that I find it rather strange that he acted the normal father just an hour or so before kidnapping a child who had been playing with his. For all we know, he could be protecting somebody else (his son for instance who made a point of being at the search from the word go. Remind you of somebody?). It's all just projecture on our part. I hope she will be found soon.

Every Morning I wake up and hope April has been found ....  

time is running out ...  Police must decide today whether to charge or release murder suspect Mark Bridger .... 4.50 pm is their deadline 

This case gets more confusing by the day, Mark Bridger was at the same parents evening as Aprils parents between 5 and 6 and then an hour later decides to abduct her, now they are saying he took April on holiday with his children in August

I wonder what will happen if they have to release him later today, i so hope they find her today

Where has that been said?

On Sky this morning, i think they said its been reported in the Telegraph

Thanks Aimee.

From the Telegraph.  A tragic fact is that it is more likely that someone will be murdered by someone they know rather than a random stranger.  Given that April obviously knew Mark Bridger well, it's no wonder she happily climbed in to his car.

Friends of April’s family disclosed that Mr Bridger had taken April on a trip to the seaside in his Land Rover Discovery in August, together with his own two children, with the permission of April’s parents.

Paul and Coral Jones had no qualms about allowing their daughter to go with Mr Bridger, as she often played with his two youngest children Sophie and Connor and their four-year-old half-sister Erin, who lived just a few doors away from April with their mother, who is estranged from Mr Bridger.

A friend of the family said: “Mark took his kids on a crabbing trip to the coast north of Machynlleth and April went with them in the Land Rover. “He was taking Sophie and Connor so Erin and April went along too. “Nobody in the family thought anything of it at the time - the kids love going crabbing in the summer.”

Thanks for that Cinds looks like she knew him well then

Makes you wonder if it was one of his kids she was playing with given they lived only doors away and that the police were quick to make him a suspect?  Just speculation on my behalf there.

I think it makes it even stranger that he has kids the same age as her, as you say the police were very quick to make him a suspect, they seemed to have been looking for him straight away

The shoes bit was a gaff on behalf of a searcher..he walked right up to a group of people with telly camera's there and said.."found a pair of shoes"....the clothes thing is just the press trying to force the police into saying if they've found clothes IMO..

Thing that gets me with this is the man was'nt seen only the vehicle..the only eye witness is a 7 year old girl who could only state that the vehicle was smaller at the front than the back..the police gave out 2 vehicle descriptions..and why were the 2 girls so far away from their homes, thats a good walk for a 5 yr old..it still keeps crossing my mind the police have the wrong man and thats why its taking so long....

Thanks.

The police are due to hold another press conference between 3 and 5 pm today. (Which if I am right will coincide with the time they have to either charge or release Mark Bridger)

According to the Telegraph there was a 70 year old man who also saw the vehicle.

They were on their bikes so 250 feet (approx) away from her home isn't really that far.

Makes you wonder what's gone on before eh?   I read somewhere he was seen driving erratically through the town on the parents' night or something.  I wonder if there's been some sort of row or threat made.  

For a 5 yr old its a long way from home....

I was reading that earlier kaffy, I hate to even think this but I reckon there's a lot more to this than a child being snatched and murdered. 

doesnt seem to be any Sky News Live updates today but one reporter is tweeting 

10 mins ago

Police forensics teams have begun another detailed examination of Mark Bridger's home, also search of nearby quarry in hunt for#AprilJones

50 mins ago

Superintendent Ian John tells Sky News 10 seperate search teams involved in hunt for  today, more than any day so far

5 0'clock is looming in fast 

Another point ...

If he is released - or is eventually found innocent, has naming him not ruined his life or even left him in danger?

It happened to the fella who was accused of killing that girl in the park, the one where she had her toddler with her, he was innocent all along....

 Police press conference at 3pm when we will learn if suspect Mark Bridger is to be charged or not.

meanwhile

Police set up forensics tent at Mark Bridger's farmhouse home and officers waist-deep in search of river which runs by the house

Fragments of rain soaked paper with writing on being bagged up by forensic officer at cottage where Mark Bridger rented.

Forensics teams working at Mark Bridger's house doing a more thorough search inside and in the bins.

I know its a bit far fetched but i was thinking a long the lines of some sort of argument over the kids and he took her out of malice, some builders say he threatened them earlier in the week as well

Just watching sky news now and they do seem to be concentrating on his house now and more mountain rescue teams are getting ready to go out, i can't see that he would have took her right up the mountains surely

it must be so frustrating for the teams of searchers ...  100% effort being put in though by all services and volunteers 

Sky have opened live updates up but nothing much coming through Re: the conference so far 

I keep hoping that they've got the wrong man, because if it IS him, then it looks like poor little April is dead. However if someone else took her, then there is still hope...

Its all very odd.

3 charges

murder

abduction

Perverting the course of justice, sky news now.

Hes been charged with child abduction, murder and perverting the course of justice

Looks like he is keeping quiet about where she is then

awful Aims 

news conference to start shortly, there are so many unanswered questions

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-19853582

We sort of had an idea that they had some proof...they must have enough to continue with the charges 

Oh crikey! Abduction's bad enough but........
