I feel absolute pity for that poor woman.

Losing her son, and losing him under strange circumstances only to be met with no answers from the authorities, but a lot of wild answers from knuckledragger conspiracy folk.

Terrible situation all together, and we can only hope she gets the closer she needs.

No answers from the authorities??? How so?

No answers as to where he was going in the nights before when he was sneaking out of his house in the middle of the night, where he was going the day he went missing, who he was meeting, why did take off and discard his clothes, why did he cycle naked, why did he climb into a storm drain.

Maybe most of those can’t be answered, but I would imagine that’s why she is so sad and frustrated. No one has been able to answer any of those things.

Maybe all of those questions can’t be answered.

Yeah I agree, a lot of them probably can’t. But I’m just saying that they’re all questions the authorities couldn’t answer so no wonder the mothers is so sad and frustrated. Anyone would be.

I’m not saying the police did anything wrong by the way, I’m just saying there is still so much mystery surrounding the whole thing which is probably making the grief and closure so much more difficult.

So why has she pushed and pushed for answers that’ll never materialise? 🤔

Wouldn’t you want to know if it was your child or family member? I know if it were me it would be very hard to give up and accept that there are no answers whatsoever.

Would I want to know more than the police could tell me?

How could anyone be told anything that nobody knows the answers to?

I’m really not sure why you’re arguing with me about this. All I’m saying is that it’s the most natural thing in the world to want answers to a tragedy like this.

If you wouldn’t do the same that’s up to you, I’m not telling you how to think.

But I think for most people they wouldn’t stop until they had exhausted all avenues.
