Anyone know more about who he’s house sitting for?
That's another mystery/closely guarded secret/unanswered question (not sure it should be). It is not clear to me whether the "house sit" was in the Gers, in Haute Pyrenees or elsewhere. If you look around (facebook) you can see they spent a lot of time at a place in the Gers, Esther mentions Arreau but not necessarily that they were staying there. It does of course make a difference to certain options exactly how close the place was to the mountain.Anyone know more about who he’s house sitting for?
I would really like to think she’s just decided to go off alone. The thing that holds me back on that though is as someone else said - would she do that to her family? Surely by now, she could call her Mum and say she’s safe but isn’t coming back for a while. They would have to call off the search and stop the investigation as she’s then not a ‘missing person’. I don’t think many people would want to cause their families and the authorities an unnecessary panic. A day or two would be enough to slip off especially if she didn’t want her boyfriend coming after her for example.The first I heard of her disappearance was here on Tattle, although there has been media coverage it doesn't seem much of a well known case to me. Given the nature of her disappearance I don’t think her husband was involved but that’s without really looking into it as I suppose it would be remarkably easy to fall/lose your way or something.
I’m sure talking about missing people in the past tense is something that’s given other killers away before too - again can’t remember who though.Even though DC tries not to talk in the past tense, the way he talks about her is still the way you would talk in memory about a dead person.
It can be yes. It does depend on context though. There can be natural slips when people fear the worse etc.I’m sure talking about missing people in the past tense is something that’s given other killers away before too - again can’t remember who though.
Yes, a lot of them do it. There's a fascinating science called statement analysis where they analyse truthful vs untruthful language, and the priorities of the person speaking, among other things. According to statement analysis it is stressful for the brain to lie and the truth usually leaks out in some way. Speaking in the past tense about someone who's not supposed to be dead is a major tell, but it's well-known enough that a lot of murderers try hard not to do this.I’m sure talking about missing people in the past tense is something that’s given other killers away before too - again can’t remember who though.
Yes, very. A bit surprising since the French and Spanish police were supposed to have met over a week ago, you'd think they'd keep Dan in the loop, maybe. Add in nothing from LBT, no Christmas appeal, nothing from the family, didn't the aunt suggest Esther could have been kidnapped, no appeal to the kidnapper. The whole family has gone quiet. It's almost as if they don't want the public to know/help. As an aside the statement put out by LBT is not accessible from their own site, you have to know its url and it appears to be the only statement they have ever made on any case, odd.It seems to have gone quiet lately ..
