Thanks maebee, tragic news indeed..

Thanks Maebee,a certain inevitability because Jos had been missing so long, very sad and devastating for her Parents on this special day. My
thoughts are with them.

SteveT Sat 25 Dec - 13:16

Very sad.

**Panda** Sat 25 Dec - 13:35

Obviously the Police cannot confirm it is Jo until a postmortem or her Parents confirm it is her. The distance from Bristol to Somerset is apparently 4
miles , but the body, found near a Golf Course was barely hidden, which is odd.

**dazedandconfused** Sat 25 Dec - 14:07

What a tragic outcome. My heart goes out to her heartbroken parents. Jury's out on the boyfriend for now.

welshy Sat 25 Dec - 14:44

Very Sad!! A family ruined for life and on christmas day. Bless them .

bootsy Sat 25 Dec - 15:32

how very very sad,her poor parents were hanging on to the fact of her being abducted.My heart goes out to them jo yeates - Page 3 284844

**AnnaEsse** Sat 25 Dec - 20:59

Such sad news. I heard this on Radio 4 on the way home this evening. How awful to get this news on Christmas day.

**AnnaEsse** Sat 25 Dec - 21:34

I've just re-read the Sky News article and notice there is no mention of a reaction from Jo's boyfriend.

maebee Sat 25 Dec - 22:26

I couldn't stop thinking about Jo all day today. Such a horrendous thing to happen. My heart is aching for her heart-broken parents on this Christmas Day. Unbearable. I don't know what to think about the BF. Time will tell.

**fedrules** Sat 25 Dec - 23:23

This awful news about Jo has really depressed me. Her poor, poor parents are going through the worst imaginable nightmare. Their fears have come true and on Christmas Day as well. Really terribly sad....

**Panda** Sat 25 Dec - 23:32

The latest bulletin just now says the clothed body of a young woman, still not formally identified , has been found 3 miles away from the couple"s flat.
Jo"s parents have been advised and they are devastated at the thought it could be their daughter.

It is too early to speculate but the finger is obviuosly pointing at the boyfriend since abduction seems less likely.

**fedrules** Sat 25 Dec - 23:38

As for the boyfriend, I suppose without the facts he should be given the benefit of the doubt, but I wonder if he planned his trip to Sheffield or if it was a spur of the moment thing ? No doubt forensics will be doing a thorough examination of the site where poor Jo's body has been found. It could be that Jo had another boyfriend who she let into the flat and ate the pizza with, but then why would the box be missing ?

To be honest though I feel a bit morbid discussing the case so soon after seeing her devastated parents on the news. I feel so sad for them :(

I know what you mean , best avoid any speculation at the moment and just sympathise with the Parents and try to imagine their grief.

**Panda** Sun 26 Dec - 7:14

A sky Reporter outside the Parents home has said that Mr Yeates wishes it is Jo so that he can say goodbye.

Apparently it is going to take some time for the Post Mortem result and the Yeates may be called to identify the body, but if they are too traumatised
samples of their DNA will be taken.

It is reported that the body found was covered in snow which I thought would have preserved it. Under normal circumstances the Yeates or even a Relative would have been called to identify the body, why are the Police prolonging the agony for the Yeates.?

**fedrules** Sun 26 Dec - 8:46

I'm sure the police must have good reasons for this decision. Perhaps, it's essential to minimise any contact with the body to preserve possible important forensic evidence. Poor Jo's parents must know that the young woman's body is their daughter's. I don't know how they will cope with losing their child in such an appalling way.

I wonder if the friend Jo phoned on her way back from the pub will be able to shed any light on Jo's plans for the weekend ? I wonder if Jo bought the pizza to eat alone or if she was planning to share it with the boyfriend ? I find it hard to believe that she was taken from her flat by a stranger. For me the most probable scenario is that Jo and Greg had a row which ended in her death and that he panicked, removed her body from the flat and dumped it hurriedly before heading up to Sheffield to establish an alibi. The police will no doubt be looking at CCTV cameras along the route for signs of his car and I imagine they'll want to inspect the car, posssibly with snioffer dogs.

Of course, I may be entirely wrong about this and another, unknown person may be the perpetrator. All I'm certain about is that this tragedy will have ruined the lives of Jo's parents...

**Panda** Sun 26 Dec - 9:23

It"s a terrible tragedy and Jo"s parents lives are wrecked. I also do not believe Jo was abducted or that she left her Flat willingly without her coat
and keys at least which does therefore point the finger at the boyfriend. Unless of course, Jo was seeing someone else who knew her boyfriend was
away.Maybe they had a fight and she fell and her death was an accident, he panicked, took her body away and had the presence of mind to take the
empty Pizza box. Time will tell but I feel so sorry for Jo"s parents.

**mumbles** Sun 26 Dec - 10:31

I feel so desperately sorry for the parents - and for the body to have been found on Christmas Day is truly awful.

Does anyone know at what time on the Friday the boyfriend left for Sheffield?

I don't want to think the worst about him just yet - but it's possible (if he was involved) that he met Jo before she arrived home on Friday night - whatever happened, happened - and then he brought her jacket, handbag etc back to the flat with him when he returned on the Sunday.

It seems so strange that there was no sign of a break-in.

**AnnaEsse** Sun 26 Dec - 10:35

OK, here goes with wild speculation. Boyfriend was in the flat and the pizza was cooked for him to take for his journey. Jo went out with him to the car to say goodbye and something happened at that point.

**Panda** Sun 26 Dec - 10:38

It"s just been announced on skynews that members of Jo"s family and possibly her boyfriend will identify the body later today.

Thanks Panda.

**dazedandconfused** Sun 26 Dec - 11:04

I'm the only one in our household who seems to have any niggles about the boyfriend. Hubby thinks that someone followed her home, but with no signs of a struggle (or if there are, it hasn't been reported) I'm not convinced by that.

Such a shock with the news of the body being found yesterday and I just can't stop thinking about her parents. They will never be celebrating Christmas again.
