This is one of the most depressing things to happen in the UK since the Dowler case in march. (A girl that just dissapeared, no leads, no nothing). And before that the payne murder. (Similar to this, girl waled out of a field and was found dead a month later). What makes these people tick? How can they do this?

The latest one is particularly disgusting - the couple they mention are a school caretaker and a supply teacher, who were friends of the girls. Hell, the bloke was even in the paper going on about how heartbroken he was over the dissapearance and how he was probably the last person to talk to them. He was making this statement (and leading the search for the girls) in the full knowledge of what had happened to them. (Of course he may be innocent after all, hasnt been put on trial yet.)

But if you want a true indictment of human nature:

A week after they went missing, there was an upsurge in tourism in the town. Poeple were going there specificaly to see the place where it happened, and some with the stated hope of finding information that would get them the reward.

People like that scare me.
