Carol - Suggestions

grannya I tweeted them the other day along with a few others, so they may already have had something.

Have just posted the link to carol's 'Missing' page on the This Morning FB page - if others can do the same then it may generate further publicity.

But were they on her car? She might not have put them on yet. Might be useful to know as it could possibly give hint as to where she might have been going.

This from mumsnet (I hope you do not mind my liasing between this forum and mumsnet, it's just that there is a very active interest over there in this, and people are coming up with suggestions and thoughts, as well as prayers and support)

ChippingIn would like to know whether her mobile phone has been checked up on.

"when she left her phone was working, a few days later it ran out of battery (well it stopped working, presumably ran out of battery). The phone company would be able to tell the police roughly where it was last being used (this might still cover a reasonable area, but it might narrow it down somewhat)."

She's got specific tyres on her 4x4 for those conditions, Merlot

From what granjura has said on the updates thread, it looks as though Carol was just popping out for a short while. As it was raining she obviously wasn't going walking but if the weather changed for the better and she wasn't in a hurry to get home, she might have decided to go for a drive instead.

Mountain roads and slippery conditions???

Doesn't explain the lack of communication for the previous 24hrs but if it was a walking accident surely they'd have found the car by now?

Yes, Elegran.

I assume that her home landline phone has been checked for any helpful messages, in or out?

glamma it was a male neighbour. Many of the apartments nearby are holiday lets and temporarily occupied by people who don't know Carol. The janitor spoke to police, too.

Don't think Carol was on Friends Reunited, or school associations.

In the local paper at last

Did Carol belong to Friends Reunited or any school/work associations which may have members who can publicise her story.

when do we know if any of Carol's immediate neighbours at her apartment block had seen her on the day she went missing or was it just the janitor ? I know that some of the apartments aren't occupied on a permanent basis,just thinking that someone who was staying maybe over that week-end may be of help if they had seen her.

Such great comments and practical suggestions, which the family really do appreciate. I have learned to use Twitter in the last few days, having put it off for over a year. Yes, please keep up the momentum.

Feeding the story is a useful reminder GA. Some of us have been & still are working really hard to get the story into papers who haven't yet run it, especially using our links to the Guardian such as ex-pupils who work for them. Gransnetters can help by clicking LIKE on any media Facebook sites & other forum. It doesn't matter how well you knew Carol - just do it. She's had a major impact on Gransnet & is still in her absence kicking some of us up the backside by making us learn how to use Twitter etc.

She said she she took a very low dose of Ramiptil, a blood pressure medication. Missing that is probably not too serious.

May have chosen the wrong thread for this. Did Carol need medication for any condition she may have? Is there any way of finding whether she had this with her (Dosette etc)? Would there be any meds so important that they must be taken regularly?

I think it's really important to keep the media briefed on any progress (or lack of) or any new facts that emerge – this will help to keep them on side and more importantly will hopefully keep the story in the news. Stories like this can slip off the radar very quickly once a piece has been aired and we want to keep it current.
