Thanks I'll check this out later. I'm interested in knowing about the family dynamic,seemed off in the documentaryThought I’d share this podcast his sister speaks on
Sadly in many cases like this, the perpetrators are usually known to the victim. Given that there doesn't seem to be anyone to corroborate the mother's story that they were in the toilets in Saltburn, it's possible that they were never there.I only read about this in the news when the police announced they’d arrested the parents due to a tip...and everyone is slating the police saying it’s disgusting, how could they suspect the parents? But my first thought was the police wouldn’t do such a drastic thing unless they already had some evidence or a strong suspicion...I know they’ve now let them off the hook but I don’t know it’s all very odd. I agree something is off about them, maybe it’s that they’ve protested so much against being suspects it’s almost ‘the lady doth protest too much’? I don’t know
After listening to the podcast i really don’t know what to think I really don’t . I I always though not checking the toilets was bizarre but after the doc I can imagine her not checkingParents seemed so off. Was wondering if maybe Steven's parents had been exploiting him, pocketing his disability benefits or abusing him, and he was about to tell authorities?

I wonder did he have life insurance?
I thought that too, quite controlling as well. There was a scene in the kitchen where he seemed to keep shouting his wife down and cutting her off. Also the witness that said they saw Stephen with a balding man in his 50s...he claimed not to recognise the description but I thought of him straight away. Especially as there was no proof he actually went to the Boro match.The dad makes me feel very uneasy. I have no logic or reason for this. He just seems to me like he has a very short fuse.

I agree I think there is more to this.I’m late to this & only stumbled across the Steven Clark case recently. I’ve now watched the ITV documentary: Accused of murdering our son: Documentary about missing Steven Clark
First aired in April 2021.
So, my first thought is - why isn’t the sister mentioned at all?
Maybe she didn’t want to be featured in the documentary, but there isn’t a word about her, where she was the day he went missing or how she misses her brother?? It said there was only a year between them I think?
The parents were both employed by the police at a point - but for a very short time (strange?) but they seemed so uneducated about police procedures?
I felt throughout the documentary they were in good humour - often laughing. They were delighted to be cleared of the murder - - ecstatic! which is fair enough - to a certain extent - but neither of them seemed heartbroken that their son was still missing assumed murdered?
I thought it was really strange for the father to mention that he told Stephen he wasn’t going to pay for this football ticket? Considering they also mentioned he couldn’t find a job due to his disability and that the father also called him something like “a tight fisted wee boy” or words to that effect. Very odd language to use? Especially in these circumstances?
I can’t get over the fact the mother simply left those toilets and went home without either entering the mens toilets or asking someone else to? They also said they could not prove the father was actually at the football match.
I really feel there is more to this. I really felt they were holding back on their relationship with their son.
I really do hope Steven ran away & made a new life for himself, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they had of killed him either. They both come across extremely cold. It sounds like Steven had a lovely relationship with his nan. Suicide could have been a possibility too?
Hopefully one day the truth will come out.
I listened to the podcast, the sister sounded sincere and open. Not sure what to think nowAfter listening to the podcast i really don’t know what to think I really don’t . I I always though not checking the toilets was bizarre but after the doc I can imagine her not checking
