When I first read that I wondered if mental health issues run in the family. The whole hearing voices thing.Absolutely not condoning CM’s behaviour or actions at all, but I do think that her upbringing must have *some* relevance to this situation and her mental health.
We’re not just talking about your average rich girl here. The level of wealth and privilege this woman had growing up is absolutely unimaginable to any of us. Crichel House has been in their family for more than 400 years. They rubbed shoulders with royals. When her father Napier inherited it (along with the £115 million fortune) he eventually had an “awakening” and spoke of a voice in his head that reportedly told him to leave his inheritance, shave his head and fly to Australia. Alone. Without his family or children.
Constance was 9 years old.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think that would absolutely mess me up.
Yes I think you’re right. It would make sense for it to be Argos too (where they got the camping stuff). Maybe they just draped something pink on it in that right pictureNo I don’t think the handles are right
Sorry Della, I didn't mean to get your back up, I certainly didn't mean to suggest you were small minded but can see how it came across that way.
I think what I was trying to get across was that the reason why they aren't using her money to hide in more salubrious accommodations is because of their poor mental health. They clearly have some capacity to have evaded police for 50 odd days. But despite their money they have lived the chaotic lifestyle that sadly often accompanies extremely poor mental health. They moved around regularly, didn't pay their rent despite having the money, left their last home in such a state the ceiling was caving in. Witnesses said they lived a chaotic lifestyle in
No bloody wonder the SS were looking to remove this poor baby thenSorry Della, I didn't mean to get your back up, I certainly didn't mean to suggest you were small minded but can see how it came across that way.

Undeniably they had the money to have done what you have suggested at least for a short time. But their chaotic state of mind means that's not what they have chosen. I think they have also grown more and more desperate. They did start off in airbnbs and bought a car in cash. But when the baby was born and the net started closing in and it became more and more difficult for them to evade detection - all that was left to them was a tent in the woods and travelling on foot.
What we learned from today's police statementWhere can I see the latest statement?
Thanks so muchWhat we learned from today's police statement
Police have just given an update about the search for the missing baby.
Here's what they said:
- Det Supt Lewis Basford from the Met Police said an application for another 36 hours in detention for Constance Marten and Mark Gordon had been sought
- He also said that the search for the baby continues and that it’s possible “they have come to serious harm”
- He added that support from the public has been vital so far, and continued to appeal for help, urging members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious behaviour or items in gardens and sheds
- Police encourage people to let them know about anything they might see or find, no matter how insignificant it may seem
- Det Supt Basford said it is a "hugely difficult and painstaking search operation" covering 90 square miles
- Det Supt Basford adds that the last known sighting of Marten and Gordon before their arrest was in Newhaven on 8 January
- Members of the public can report any potential sightings either to 999 in an emergency or to the Met's incident room on 020 8345 3865
No its not wide enough to be a side by sideDid anyone else think the pushchair looked like a double? An example below of a similar looking double for reference.
They were living in a caravan on the allotment in BrightonRosie love, I understand mental health. I haven't even mentioned it. You've misread my post entirely. I am anything but small minded.
What I was getting at with regards her wealth was why she ended up in a tent in a field in winter? If she had so much cash at her disposal then surely she could've chose other means.
For example a camper van, a caravan, a hotel, a b and b, an air b and b etc.
Yes they wanted to go off grid but as I said, Money talks, nothing had to be booked in theor name.
Yeah, strange that they chose a tent prior to that. They must've all been absolutely freezing.They were living in a caravan on the allotment in Brighton
I'm cold at the moment and I'm in a house.Yeah, strange that they chose a tent prior to that. They must've all been absolutely freezing.
Was the baby ever at the caravan do we know?.
Sorry, no. The police have said they don't think they were sleeping in the caravan. However someone has come on here and said that someone locally thinks they were, and everyone seems to have seized on that as truth, I think because of the photo of the caravan which leads to an easy assumption.They were living in a caravan on the allotment in Brighton
Two taxi drivers have said that they heard a baby crying and movingJust to say that postpartum psychosis can develop weeks, months after birth. And if she's been hiding how would anybody know she was showing signs of it?
Sorry I'm new to this case. Do they know that the baby was definitely born alive?
There's been corroboration that the baby was alive at birth. No matter what's happened in the past they (and anyone else) have a duty to start talking nowJust to say that postpartum psychosis can develop weeks, months after birth. And if she's been hiding how would anybody know she was showing signs of it?
Sorry I'm new to this case. Do they know that the baby was definitely born alive?
