Maybe covered in deep snow which freezes and becomes part of the glacier? Just guessingJust seen a news story that says she may not be found for five years as they suspect she slipped on a part of the mountain which was icy ... may sound dumb here but why can’t they go and search that area then? Rather than leave hersurely a big search team and all the equipment would be safe?
Ah yeah I guessMaybe covered in deep snow which freezes and becomes part of the glacier? Just guessing
Mm.... often people missing on mountains aren't looked for, for very long. They often rely on the fact that someone hiking will find them. It can be hard to get a body out of the snow/down from the mountain. Really quite grim.Just seen a news story that says she may not be found for five years as they suspect she slipped on a part of the mountain which was icy ... may sound dumb here but why can’t they go and search that area then?

Because it seems to me that if he were genuinely bright, he would just get on with his life and achievements but it seems like he's in Pseud's Corner in Private Eye. He might have paper qualifications but didn't last long in the field in which he is qualified.Why do you say ‘pseudo-intellectual’ petitspois? He does have a first from Oxford, a doctorate and was an academic.
Petitpois yes.Because it seems to me that if he were genuinely bright, he would just get on with his life and achievements but it seems like he's in Pseud's Corner in Private Eye. He might have paper qualifications but didn't last long in the field in which he is qualified.
Yes indeed it does!!No I dont really understand how you can even live life if you are constantly getting the camera out and posting.
Yes I think you are right there - the trouble is many people get depressed thinking that these people with picture perfect lives are the norm.
Probably quite the opposite...
In fact I think I prefer reading about the people whose lives are imperfect -makes me feel normal
This reads like there was no GPS picked up from her phone since it was on flight mode, not like she had a separate GPS tracker.She had a GPS. Just checked.
"Her last contact with Colegate was via a WhatsApp call on Sunday 22 November, when she indicated she was on the Pic de Sauvegarde.
“After that she put her phone on airplane mode to save the battery and there is no data use or GPS trace since then. We have no indication of whether she crossed the border"
Guardian 30 November.
Just realised flight mode was activated just after her call with DC.
Most likely - one less item to carry.This reads like there was no GPS picked up from her phone since it was on flight mode, not like she had a separate GPS tracker.
Read the article.I don't think you can have the same watsapp account active on two different numbers. It always asks you to close one, so the old device says 'no longer registered'. At least that's what has always happened for me. I suppose there is a way around it?
Personally I don't think he has anything to do with her disappearance. I'll agree he does come across a bit awkwardly on camera, the long blinking/talking with eyes shut doesn't help but I doubt that's a new thing and I don't think he's particularly sinister.
I'm still not overly concerned about the way he writes in the book. Mainly because when me and my other half went through a rough patch a few years ago, had I written a book, I may have worded things similarly. We loathed each other, there was no love left etc. Yet here we are still married - and happily. Relationships have peaks and troughs.
I don't think them travelling is anything sinister like him deliberately trying to get her away. They made a decision together to try and make themselves happier, after life dealt them a rough deal. She's been very open about being diagnosed with anxiety and depression. GAD can be a stand alone diagnosis without PTSD, however I can see how she may suffer from PTSD given the circumstances that Dan nearly died in.
With regard to the house sitting review, is that the photo of the person underneath the review? If so, it isn't her account surely? Doubt she'd use a fake photo.
I haven't really seen anything that suggests he's anything other than an educated, articulate but slightly anxious man, shoved into a situation he doesn't know how to deal with. I understand why some consider him suspicious but for me, that threshold isn't met.
That article says it's a feature that is 'coming soon' though, not already available.The things that puzzle me:
1. Her mother said in the statement that she & ED spoke several times a day.
So why did it take 3 days for DC to raise the alarm? Her mother must have been on his back daily.
2. Why did DC initially say it was common for her to be out of contact for a day or two. Then recently states they spoke every day?
3. Why have the search dogs not scented her trail?
Read the article.
It tells you how to do it.
So, those that don't think she has been harmed by DC, what are your thoughts?
I'm leaning toward an accident. I am open minded to a stranger attack. I don't think she has harmed herself.
Not sure where you got this info from but this is not remotely true! The only stable jobs in academia are teaching, and even then the pressure is high because you still need to publish to obtain a promotion yet you have no time factored into your work hours in which to do that research. If pursuing the research route it most certainly is a rat race. Two year temp contracts with no guarantee of work after each one. Academia is most certainly not relaxed! There is also a view that if you leave academia you have ‘failed’, I know this as I myself left it to go into practice. So I imagine even if he chose to leave as opposed to being quietly elbowed out if he couldn’t keep up that would cause a huge amount of resentment, anger, and sense of failure as you said. Some people find it really hard to let it go even if they don’t want to do it anymore, it can be a really toxic culture.He failed at an academic career (which isn't cut throat, it's quite relaxed and rewarding) so decided to phrase that as getting out of the rat race.
If you post quite soon after your last post and nobody else has posted in between, they merge into one post unfortunately. If a certain time period has elapsed they will appear as separate posts but I don’t know exactly how long it is.Glad you raised that. No idea why all my posts get bunched together.
Can you advise how to write individually to each person without it gathering other posts into the mix?
