Without knowing everything Lancs knew-if a person is reported missing; their dog and phone are found near the water; a check of police systems show police attended a welfare/mental health job a short time before…she’s graded high risk.
If she’d been reported missing in for example a shopping arcade with the same information re her mental state, she may have been graded medium risk.
It’s really semantics, we aren’t privy to everything. I can only speak from decades of experience. I can also seriously question how Faulding wasn’t aware she was high risk. He sounds like he was simply covering his arse after over promising.
He was only given 500 yards to search, which he completed thoroughly. He produced all search scans including, 3d underwater scans.He volunteered and the police took him up on it , he wouldnt have joined in without their consent
So he didn’t search a mile downstream because confidential personal info was withheld? And nobody had the decency to tell him it was flowing water?
He’s ended up looking like a dick with a shiny toy and a story to sell.
think he searched much more than 500 ydsHe was only given 500 yards to search, which he completed thoroughly. He produced all search scans including, 3d underwater scans.
As the bloke said, she wasn’t in the area they searched.
Why didn’t the police have him search all the way down stream?
What's his username?He did have a bit of a God complex as in he believed only his opinion counted.
Your first point isn’t strictly the case though-although I would say from experience that it can be subjective-and of course all things together would raise the risk level.I'd say anyone suffering mental health problems would be graded high risk irrespective of where they went missing. Her last known.location, the phone and dog would just have added an extra sense of urgency.
The police never refuted his claims he wasn't informed she was high risk. Sadly it wouldn't have changed the outcome but it's possible it would have been concluded earlier.
So he presumed suicide wasn’t a possibility? And searched on that unfounded premise? And the police looked on passively? Isn’t that odd?What he actually said was if he'd known she was classed as high risk it would have totally altered his search pattern. His job at that time was to find or rule out the poor woman was in the water. If her body was found where he believed it would have been found if he'd had that information then he was correct. I'm not championing the bloke and as I've said sadly it wouldn't have changed the outcome, but it might have been concluded sooner.
No, he was given an area of 500y that the police believed she would be found.I
think he searched much more than 500 yds
Well we certainly know what it can't do!I'm very interested in the magical abilities of this specialist equipment.
Im sure he said in one press brief that he had searched several milesNo, he was given an area of 500y that the police believed she would be found.
