Missing people and murder cases #5

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
Ben disappeared around 16 years before Madeleine. Who knows if in another 16 years they'll still be looking for her.
They've spent a long time on his case to be fair.

Edit - an update - On Monday, the South Yorkshire force responded by insisting that its "involvement in support of the investigation has not changed", and that it was "deeply sorry" for any confusion.

Still reads like their role is now one of support and the Greeks are doing the investigation itself.

So sad, it really is one of those stories we never forget and always hoped for answers.

Just read that the photo the police shared of those poor sisters who died in Brighton was AI generated, based on photos of them as teenagers!
Why was that necessary, couldn't they have just used old photos?!

I think it was the family who created it as they didn't have a recent one of all three together.

I did think it looked uncanny valley when it was first posted but didn't want to suggest AI 😭

reckon they had 3 separate photos of them and they've used chatGPT to merge them. Problem is it never generates people exactly as they really look.

Why did it have to be a photo of them all together. In the days of smart phones & younger people's obsession with recording their every move, surely there are 3 recent photos of them which could be released.
I recently asked AI to clean up an old photo for me & the results just looked too weird.

Hmm I’m sure it wouldnt have been done without permission From the family…perhaps like many young women they had said in life they wanted particular pictures/images on their deaths?
not sure this is a point of contention IMO

According the report I saw, it was the family who made the image.

Yep.

Sussex Police later clarified that an image accompanying an earlier version of the article had been generated by the family based on a photograph of the three sisters when they were younger.

Has anyone seen anyone who knew them post about them on social media? There's usually something.
 
I thought it was AI, they looked like 90s R&B singers and the middle one looked the oldest even though she wasn’t.

I don’t want to conspire around a tragic death but none of it makes any sense to me, and I do agree with people saying the circumstances don’t ring true.

I wonder if they will be able to get any CCTV from the bars outside.

Only their cousin who posted just after it happened saying they were all her cousins. That didn't even say there were all sisters though (as opposed to a mix of cousins/sisters).

Has anyone seen about this missing 14 year old boy? It's been nearly 3 weeks now, and as far as I'm aware, it hasn't really made national news.

BBC
'Police said after Taylor was reported missing at 17:15 on 9 May, shoes believed to belong to him were found on two consecutive days on the high tide line on the riverbank.'

Golly that's sad. He looks much older than 14.

Did anyone read the story of the poor little French boys left in the woods in Portugal wearing blindfolds by their mother and stepfather (why is there so often a stepfather in these horrible cases?). They were abandoned with backpacks of meager supplies of water and food and told they were playing a game.

In the end they walked miles and, thank God, came across an adult couple who helped sort them out and they are now with the authorties.

Stepfather is reported to have mental health problems but what the duck is wrong with the mother?

I can't we these vile excuses for mums.

Mother of three sisters found dead off Brighton beach also died by drowning, family reveal as they hit out at conspiracy theories and insist women did not smoke, drink or enjoy clubbing

This case gets even more bizarre.
I hate to say it but could the sisters have been intentional drownings?

Edited to add the mother drowned in 2010.
