Isn't it horrible/terrible that they've still not found her. Heartbreaking
it is a very sad situation it has dropped off the main news pages today
I always think when it goes quiet like that it's because the police know something very significant and want to keep it under wraps.
Meanwhile it has emerged that children as young as seven will provide key evidence in the trial of Mr Bridger which is expected to take part next year.
The young witnesses, who have already provided video interviews about what they saw, are expected to provide further evidence via video link at the full hearing.
Poor little kids having to go over it all again
this is just so depressing every day you hope for news and nothing ....
The search for missing April Jones could continue into Christmas and beyond, police have said.
Major search efforts to find the five-year-old schoolgirl are ongoing, and Dyfed Powys Police say the hunt could continue for months.
"We said goodbye to 150 officers this morning and they've been replaced by another 150 specialists," Superintendent Ian John said, speaking from Machynlleth.
"Numbers may fluctuate a bit on a daily basis. But whilst we still have viable lines of inquiry, we will continue to search.
"We could still be here at Christmas or the new year, we could be finished in two weeks."
He added: "The numbers involved in searching are always under review.
"Hopefully we will find April soon. We are not going anywhere until we have done our job.
"We are here for the long-term if we need to be."
So sad, i really hope the family get the answers they are waiting for
I honestly thought they would have found her by now
But supposing he passed her on to someone else, as opposed to murdering her?
She could be anywhere by now!
OMG imagine if he took her to order !!!

I said earlier he wasn't working alone ,part of a bigger ring.

it is looking more and more like that
Personally I think if he was part of a ring, or was paid money to pass her on he'd have spoken up by now as the charge would be lesser than murder. I still wonder every day if we'll hear any news, and I still think about how the nightmare hasn't ended for her family without some kind of closure.

It's so sad to think that she may never be found
I keep seeing new posts to this thread and open it up hoping that she's been found
Someone said earlier in the thread that the river that they were searching was very close to the Irish Sea (I think) and that it's likely that her body has been washed ot to sea. Her poor, poor parents ............and that poor little girl Just too horrible.

Thats what my dad said, she could be miles away by now i don't know how any parent could get over that
I do hope they find her, for the parents sake. It must be awful just not knowing where she is. Just listening to the radio that 21 years on and police are digging up somewhere in Kos, still searching for Ben Needham. Imagine that, 21 years of not knowing what happened to your child. Too awful.

Mark Bridger, 46, has been charged with Aprilâs murder. He is also charged with child abduction and perverting the course of justice.
He is due to appear at Caernarfon Crown Court on January 11 for a plea hearing.
I can't believe they still haven't found the poor little thing.

I think it's unlikely that they ever will - very, vary sad
I'm not sure how parents ever get over something like this ..............too terrible to even contemplate. Makes you appreciate what you have doesn't it?

it must be terrible not having a body to bury when you know they died but do not know where they are, I wonder if he has given the police any information yet

That's it, on some level they must know she's not coming back, but I just wish for them they would find her body so they can put her to rest.
The man accused of the abduction and murder of April Jones has pleaded not guilty, though his barrister says he is "probably responsible" for her death.
Mark Bridger, 47, sat in the dock at Mold Crown Court flanked by two security guards as details of the charges were read out.
He clearly replied "not guilty" as five-year-old April's parents stared into the glass-fronted dock.
The judge made an order under the Contempt of Court Act that none of the evidence mentioned should be publicly reported.
But he added that Bridger's barrister's statement that the former lifeguard was "probably responsible" for April's death could be reported.
Earlier the murmurings from people gathering in Court One were silenced as Mr and Mrs Jones walked in with police family liaison officers.
Mrs Jones shook her head as Bridger was led back into custody by court officers after the hearing.
As well as facing charges of abducting and murdering April, he is also accused of unlawfully disposing of and concealing her body with intent to pervert the course of justice.
Bridger, who appeared in court wearing jeans and a navy sweater, will face trial next month.
Time to change your legal team.
"Probably responsible" ..
"Probably responsible" ..
That was my reaction too skylark. It's just bizarre that he would plead not guilty yet his legal team are putting out a statement like that.
"Probably responsible" ..
I know.
He's not exactly Joe Beltrami is he?

Looks like her parents will never get the answers they are looking for

Very sad, and now they have to sit through a trial. Are they trying to say it was an accident?? Very odd thing to say
Aimee, as a parent you know yourself to imagine losing a child in that manner must be horrendous, but to never get the answers and to have her back to at least put her to rest must make the torture of it all unbearable.
Call me stupid, but it sounds like the defence have evidence that he is guilty. Client confidentiality aside (does that still stand in this instance?), somebody should be questioning them!
It smacks of "We know something you don't know" - what a bizarre and frustrating statement to put out.
legally lawyers can't lie if their client has confessed they are guilty - so perhaps you're right Cosi... perhaps he has said something to them that has made them unable to put in a not guilty plea... but not an out & out confession...
Aye..

I don't think I could live if it was me 
and to know that someone DOES know the answers but is refusing to tell you must be horrendous to live with

That's exactly what I was thinking Ditty (Hello btw 
)
I'm just hoping it's enough to make somebody somewhere find a way of pressing them on it.
Aye..
I didn't say they don't lie... just that they aren't supposed to
MrD did a law degree... like many of his fellow students he never continued into the legal profession as he came out disillusioned, he'd gone into it thinking it was about justice

Me neither. I know one thing if someone had done something so horrendous to Master C, I would personally want to torture it out of them.
Cosi I agree, that's the way the statement came across. They might as well have thumbed their noses and said 'ner ner ne ner ner'
