The key will be for the police to isolate her and heavy questioning for weeks and weeks. Hopefully eventually they break her.
But if it takes weeks and weeks the baby will Shirley be dead by then.

Constance or “Toots”, as she was known to friends, disappeared with her partner Mark Gordon, a convicted sex offender, and their newborn baby on the morning of January 7 — two days after abandoning a burning car on a motorway near Manchester, and eight years after becoming estranged from her family, one of England’s most prominent aristocratic households, which has links to the royals.


I'm really feeling sorry for "Toots." She seems to be a real victim of her family and this man who took advantage of her.

Sarcasm?

The convicted rapist I think originally hailed from the UK, as he was deported back to the UK.

He spent 20 years in prison in the States from the age of 14. He is very American by now. The US has a way of dumping criminals in other countries so they don't have to deal with so many of these criminals.

I’ve no time for violent sex offenders either, whatever their age.

But I don’t blame the US authorities for getting shot of him once released. I think we deport convicted offenders too post prison …. except when the cottage industry of (some) lawyers step in to say we should protect the rapist or drug dealer’s human rights.

Lots of dog walkers use the area on the other side of the golf course. I have a feeling that area will be closed off soon. I'm not going up there today that's for sure. :(

Her family certainly appear a tad f***ed up, with her dad going a bit broadside.

Hope they find the baby alive though sadly very unlikely

Black convicted rapist and white female from posh family. The media in this country are going to have an absolute field day with this. How long until she is also portrayed as the victim?

I'm guessing that explains the helicopter circling overhead last night

If the poor little mite is to be found, it's far more likely to be as a result of a random dog walker or member of the public stumbling across him/her, rather than as a result of deployment of the police helicopter IMHO. Always assuming that was why it was in the air in the first place

It could be a coercive control type relationship.

I don't think there is any doubt she was vulnerable when their relationship started 7 years ago. The press have reported that she had returned 'brainwashed' from spending time with a cult in Nigeria.

This is a truly baffling story, when I got off the train last night at Preston Park at about 23:08, I noticed there were helicopters circling around. When you look into it, its gets even weirder with the father, hope the baby is found, although its sadly not looking good. Must be something about Newhaven and disappearing Aristocracy.

Does it not have thermal camera technology, is that not why?
