RIP Tia
Hope they get the barsteward who took your beautiful young life.

I doubt the culprit will be found too far from home.
RIP Tia.
Found in her grandmother's house. Why has it taken a week? I thought after the Soham murders (RIP, Holly and Jessica) the lesson of investigating the last person to see the missing child was learnt. Even I thought they would have given the property a thorough search seeing as the boyfriend was the last to see her alive.
RIP Tia x
And on the other thread on here about this, they are saying there is rumour of a pregnancy! Not sure who? Tia's mother?

And as to searching the house, they may have searched already but this time they would be taing up floorboards etc, but I would have thought trained dogs would have smelt a body the first time round.
There really are some mixed up families around, and it always seems to be the innocent who suffer.

Ummmm I think the comments on here need to bear in mind that noone has been charged with anything let alone had a trial yet.
Some of the comments on here could lead to a trial being stopped. I do not think that is in the interests of doing justice for young Tia.
TFC will have to pull this thread if assumptions of guilt carry on as they are I think.
Not because 'whoever' did this isnt evil scum who deserves to rot in hell but because the posts are all but naming someone, who hasnt been charged let alone tried.....
Am I the only one who finds the absence of Tia's mother pretty much from the start a bit odd?
I always think it's a bit precious to start saying comments on completely independent websites such as newspapers magazines and mumsnet will have to be closed down or they will affect the trial. Why?
It's the internet equivalent of what's said down the pub. No doubt some drongo somewhere is blaming the Eastern Europeans. None of it is worth the bandwidth it's written on and is the totally uninformed opinion of a bunch of people who have nothing whatever to do with the case. If it was that easy to derail a trial, surely we'd have every gangland mafioso in the country deftly commenting under an assumed name on 'Competition Riders' that it was him wot done it?
I understand what you're saying, and agree if it's in a newspaper editorial, or even printed as part of news reporting, but idle gossip on internet chat rooms *can't* be reined in. And what's to say the juror doesn't go down the pub?Because if you say it down the pub, only the people in the pub will hear it and be influenced by it.
If you say it on the web or in the newspaper, you are quite possibly going to be tainting the view of a person who is then selected for the jury.
Its called a fair trial, and if that cant be given because of this sort of stuff, potentially a murderer walks free. Look at the Jo Yeates case if you dont think this sort of thing (in that case the newspapers doing it) is taken seriously.
Its not being precious, its trying to ensure that the person responsible for this terrible crime doesnt get away with it.

I absolutely agree that a newspaper can't print anything assuming guilt before trial. I would argue that people gossiping in any medium is not something you have control over, and it is not realistic to try to place a gagging order on joe public.
Surely, in the Jo Yeates case, it was actual newspaper reporting, not someone on Mumsnet or for that matter, HHO, saying, ooh I bet it was him, the barsteward?
