I never thought that, but looking back now and at their posting history (99% this thread) I do see how it could be

having said that, I do think it’s more likely than not to be an accident.

If I hadn’t read it all in one go I don’t think I would’ve thought that, and I’m not 100% convinced it was him…there was just something about the way that poster spoke

Let’s be frank, the reason he’s a suspect is pure statistics. It is something like two British women every week die at the hands of their partner or former partner. Suspecting him is not surmising guilt without any evidence, it’s just being realistic.

Even if she befell a tragic accident or her death came at the hands of a stranger, if there’s not enough evidence to draw a firm conclusion then the boyfriend will always be in the frame.

And, side note, if there’s anyone (I don’t mean this thread, I just mean generally in society) who doesn’t like that, then they need to do more to stop so many women being murdered by men - both the ones they do and don’t know. There is *so much* that could be done.

End rant! (Sorry have just seen so many ‘let’s give him the benefit of the doubt until otherwise’ chat everywhere about this case and others and it winds me up).

And I would not put it past him or someone connected to scour Internet forums for mentions of her name and join in 🤷‍♀️

Final point - I was staggered to read that there are THREE THOUSAND unidentified bodies found in France every YEAR. A lot in the mountain regions I’m guessing. Seems if you wanted to do away with someone that’s a good place to do so. Chilling.

I think we can all agree that @Johara was slightly too invested, to an unhealthy degree. Bit bizarre that their only other contributions to tattle were a few bits about Madeline Mccan and another thread about cheating on partners.
However, If Dan was intelligent enough to pull this off and make it seem like an accident, I doubt he would be stupid enough to join an online forum and engage with it, especially with how advanced cyber security etc is these days.
Don’t think it was Dan, but someone who was way too heavily invested in the case. Paying for a private psychic was the nail in the coffin for me. (Also bizarre that they haven’t popped up since the remains story).
Strange folk about I guess! 🤷🏼

So please detail what you think could be done - the sort of person that does this is hardly likely to be open to the argument "Don't murder people..."

With regard to this case, the fact that the boyfriend comes over as very controlling and attempting to shape the narrative (it is quite clear that they had relationship problems both recently and in the past but he flat out denies any recent issues) does not necessarily mean that he killed her - but it IS a 'Red Flag' that the Police have not excluded him from the suspects, it would be very easy for them to do this.

To be honest once the Johara character started talking about psychics I lost interest, I am not of the view that psychics can do what they claim - just my opinion.

I think there could be footage of her being attacked and eaten by a bear and some people would still say “it was the bf”

I'm not really sure of the basis on which he can be ruled out sensibly at this stage though? Some of us obviously just have a bad feeling about him when others don't and that's fine, but statistically speaking he IS the most likely suspect.

I was reading today that one of the mountaineers in the area who used to work for the police rescue team has said that it is most likely that Esther fell down and slipped on the scree on the mountain. When you look at some of the pics of the paths it seems quite possible.

Accidents and slips do happen. I was chatting to a woman a few weeks ago who was hiking alone in Spain in the mountains. She slipped and fell on to some glass. The glass went through her hand and caused a fairly major injury. She had to bandage it up as best she could and walk for 4 hours to a hospital. She almost fainted when she got to the hospital but she made it.

The fact that someone running in the mountains found the bone suggests that it wasn't in a dangerous area for hikers. Would indicate that she did not die there.

If she did have an accident elsewhere, then yes, perhaps animals moved her remains. However, it's still odd that after all the searches her clothing and equipment wasn't spotted.

I had a quick read about vultures and came across this article from a few years back!

How sad but not totally unexpected. Condolences to her family and friends.
I hope they will be able to work out what actually caused her death and put closure to it.

With the weather and snow it can be hard to find bodies. There was another case where a French climber, Gatien Loison, disappeared in 2012 in the same area. They found his body three years later.

They've only found one bone? And no clothing or equipment?
I think they have found one bone (not identified as what as far as I know) and a skull. The reports are confusing and contradictory, LBT Global say only one bone was found. Anyone got a definitive answer? If it was just one bone the mountain runner did well to spot it and think of it as "suspicious".


D’après nos informations, deux os retrouvés se sont avérés être « d’origine animale », mais le morceau de crâne, qui portait des restes de cheveux longs, était bien humain. Et ces analyses ADN et morphologiques réalisées par les spécialistes toulousains ont permis de confirmer qu’il s’agissait de celui d’Esther Dingley.

This appears to be the case, one assumes moved by animals of some kind - the whole thing is very sad.

Now they have to find out where and how she died - and that doesn't look like it's going to be easy...

Note: palmer85, the partial skull bone was identified as being from Ms. Dingley, that's all it seems, the others are from animals. I believe it was suspicious to the runner because it was a skull or partial skull with hair. :(
