I don't mind Peter Faulding doing interviews, after all he is being inundated with interview requests given hes the expert in the field, he does come across as a little fame hungry though.
What I will say is that he seems adamant she is not in that river, he's risking a hell of a lot of professional capital and a lot of future business on these strong statements. He will look like a right idiot if she is washed up hence why I am so inclined to believe she's not in the river.
He knows this and perhaps thats why hes coming across as a little fame hungry and doing the media rounds because he's frustrated with the investigation.
