where is the yesteryear thread ?

another bloomin' mystery

Sorry to interrupt, but 100,000 posts from the pub - all welcome for cheese sticks and so forth!

If true, should be the most important development, yet. Pizza and sock irrelevant, compared to that.

why then would the killer take the risk and make it look as if she returned?

Has it taken them this long to discover it is saliva or have they kept this info back?

If they've known for a while then it can't belong to anyone in their enquieries can it or they'd have arrested them. Unless it belonged to the boyfriend who could possibly explain it away?

Still have a problem with the moved body theory. As miraculously, the meticulous killer, manages to take a girl from a flat, put her in a car, drives round half of Bristol, avoids all cctv cameras, then dumps the body by the side of the road, and leaves saliva on it, Not forgetting taking the pizza away too.

How do you think she got from Clifton to where she was dumped?

That would mean killer went to her flat afterwards to deposit her belongings - much more unlikely than simply being killed in the flat and body taken away.

That's assuming she knew the assailant(s)

Two things i find perculiar is Jo texting that fella she had not seen for 18 months and shortly after her bf had left and also the bf who said it was normal for Jo not to answer texts or phone .For me that is not a particularly close relationship imo

I also thought this sounded odd

I think it's obvious they had kept in contact during that 18months.

If you haven't seen OR heard (facebook, texts etc) from someone in 18 months would you send a text that said 'Where are you? Do you fancy a drink'?

It would be more like 'Hey, not seen you in ages, how are you keeping? Fancy catching up over a drink if you're in the area.


IMO.

Murdered Joanna Yeates' best friend has spoken of the telephone conversation the pair shared just hours before the architect went missing.

Rebecca Scott was the last person known to have talked to Miss Yeates after she left the pub where she had been drinking with work colleagues in Bristol on December 17.

Speaking for the first time of her loss, the 25-year-old said she knew something was wrong when she saw a missed call from police in the early hours of the morning after the weekend.

She said: "I got a call from Jo as she was on her way (home); it was to arrange our plans for Christmas Eve.

"We were both returning to our parents for Christmas and she was bringing (boyfriend) Greg along on Christmas Eve when we went out.

"It was tradition that we'd meet in our local area. She was trying to persuade me to spend New Year in Edinburgh with her, too; I couldn't commit but our plans for Christmas Eve were set.

"It wasn't unusual not to hear from Jo from then; we were both useless with our phones.

"The next phone call I got was around 4am on Monday December 20, it was a missed call from the police.

"I instantly knew something was wrong so I called Jo's phone and Greg answered telling me what had happened. We all knew something was wrong but were in denial about the situation.

"I always hoped she was still alive but deep down I couldn't help but think she'd been abducted and some harm had come to her.

"On Christmas Day we heard the news we had all been dreading, we had the TV on watching the news when it was reported a body had been found.

"In a way I felt relief at the news. I was gutted, too, but I knew that she was now not a missing person and no further harm could come to her.

"I remember sending her mum a message saying 'I'm sorry', I didn't know what else to say."

The pair had been friends for 10 years since studying together and Miss Scott said Joanna, 25, had never been happier.

"Every memory I have of her is a fond one, from those first nights out we had together to those holidays in Cornwall where we'd spend time camping," she said.

"She was so happy with Greg, too. She'd been with him for over two years and they were perfect for each other."

Miss Scott also urged anyone with information about her best friend's murder to contact police.

"You may not have seen or heard anything but think back - has a friend or family member been acting strangely or suspiciously?

"If so, please call the police and think about how you'd never want your best friend found murdered on Christmas Day."

I think it's obvious they had kept in contact during that 18months.

If you haven't seen OR heard (facebook, texts etc) from someone in 18 months would you send a text that said 'Where are you? Do you fancy a drink'?

It would be more like 'Hey, not seen you in ages, how are you keeping? Fancy catching up over a drink if you're in the area.

texting where are you suggests, to me, she was replying to a text or phone call

didnt she walk past the bar he was in ?

cant believe that,if the boyfriend contacted the police sometime sunday evening although it was only missing persons enquiry, surely the police would have had jo,s phone, when this friend phoned at 4 oclock on the monday,and i dont believe all this baloney about not unusal to answer phone ,why wouldnt you answer a text or call from a bloke you are thinking about marrying according to the parents,no wonder she was sniffing about old male friends

i,m saying surely after the alarm was raised and they noticed something wrong in the flat,the police would have been studying jo,s phone,her friend said she phoned jo and the boyfriend answered her phone

it was still a missing person not a murder enquiry.

unless the police mentioned jo when they phoned her at 4.am

If you listen to what she actually said instead of just the reporting in the news items you'll hear that the police left a message saying they were looking for Jo.

Some of these reporters want shooting. What they actually report always seems to miss out crucial details which lead people to jump to wrong conclusions!

And Rebecca had already spoken about this when Jo was still "missing".

The last person to speak to missing Bristol woman Joanna Yeates revealed she was happily making plans to spend Christmas and New Year with friends and family – just hours before she disappeared.

Pretty landscape architect Joanna, 25 – Jo to friends – mysteriously vanished from the upmarket streets of Clifton, Bristol, on Friday after spending the evening in the pub with colleagues.

Jo’s distraught parents and boyfriend Greg Reardon made a tearful appeal for information after police became increasingly concerned about her welfare.

Today Joanna’s best friend Rebecca Scott told how she had been on the phone to the sporty blonde just minutes after she left the pub.

Swansea University student Rebecca, Jo’s best friend since they met at college in Winchester, Hants., nine years ago, revealed they were happily finalising festive plans.

Rebecca, 25, said: ”I was the last person believed to have spoken to Jo. She rang me at 8.30pm on Friday as she walked back from the pub.

”We spoke for about 15 minutes – and she was totally normal.


”She seemed very happy and we were making plans for Christmas and New Year. She was due to come back home on Christmas Eve and we had agreed to meet up.

”Jo and Greg were spending Christmas at her parents.

”We were also finalising New Year’s Eve plans – we were going up to Edinburgh as a few of us wanted to go.

”Then I had a message from the police on my phone on Sunday saying Jo was missing.

”There doesn’t seem to be anything missing from the house at all – even her coat and keys are there. I know Jo, and she takes these kind of things with her.

”Everybody is worried sick about her and anybody that knows anything should come forward.”

Jo was last seen leaving The Ram pub on Park St, Bristol at 8pm on Friday evening after drinks with colleagues.

She picked up some shopping at a local Tesco store and arrived home – receipts in her flat from the shop are time marked 8.40pm – but has not been seen or heard from since.

Jo was reported missing by her boyfriend Greg when he returned to the flat they shared in the upmarket Clifton area on Sunday night.

She has not taken any possessions with her family say her disappearance is totally out of character.

Rebecca, studying PhD in marine biology at Swansea University, added: ”All the police’s normal missing persons scenarios have come to a dead end. She’s just not the sort of person to go missing.

Jo is not one to hide her feelings – if there’s something bothering her, she will say. Jo is really outgoing. She was a very, very popular girl and she’s done very well for herself.

”Greg is with her family at the moment – he is distraught.”

Whats up Bonvivvy? Another losing day was it?
