Shannon Matthews: Sir Norman Bettison’s Wikipedia Update
SHANNON Matthews is safe. The man suspected of taking her in a suspected abduction is being quizzed. And over the newswires:
Meanwhile, West Yorkshire chief constable Sir Norman Bettison highlighted the work of detectives Paul Kettlewell and Nick Townsend as he defended the professionalism of his force. Sir Norman said his officers have interviewed 6,000 people and searched 3,000 houses over the past three weeks and said he was amazed to have to defend his force publicly against criticism over its speed in recovering her.

Bloody “ludicrous”, is he sharing clarrie now? do you think they are conducting the interviews secretly?
March 17th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I am not surte about the interviews. All very confusing. Maybe now is a good time to do while everyone is looking at the ‘other case up North’.
I would have thought that the case can’t be completed until they re-interview the main participants…
March 17th, 2008 at 10:21 pm

Fancy a crisp?
March 17th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
WTF
Beginning to despair about interviews myself, unless all is being kept hush hush and PJ are in Uk, believe ‘files’ will be opened on 11th April and evidence will be shown to the Arguidos and their lawyers. If not enough evidence they will be filed away, but arguido status could remain for 20 years or till new evidence emerges. Might not have facts right though.

March 17th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
so this is where you all are- I wondered which thresd you had all absconded to- that was a quick flight out of Portugal!!
6: happy 30
was that the police or the dogs
maybe they found Heather’s wooden leg
I wonder what made them look in the drawers, did they take the dogs in the house.
It is a good job they did as they may not have found them at all at all at all!
March 17th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
