3) Not all the information needed in a #missingperson inquiry had been gathered. Mr. Swanton also said he was concerned about a lack of structure to the investigation & that no-one appeared in charge.
Nor could he see from the logs what actions had or had not been undertaken.

The earliest built phase at Maiden Castle #Dorset was an Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure (c. 3550 BC)
Recreations of this period are comparatively rare, so this wonderful image © Miranda Schofield / English Heritage is particularly welcome 😊👍

THREAD For #IWD21 please take 5 mins to read & share Gaia's story. Gaia loved #InternationalWomensDay & she should be here celebrating it with us. Instead our bright, brave and beautiful star 🌠 has become part of it. 🌹 #JusticeForGaia #InternationalWomensDay #RapeJusticeNow
We are a family fighting for answers about what happened to our girl who went missing on 7 November 2017 when she was 19 yrs old. 🌹 Eleven days later, her body was found. The coroner found she’d died of hypothermia. We call it a death by indifference...

The #Dorset Ooser was a wooden mask with a bull’s hair and horns apparently used to scare people during #midwinter mummers plays in the village of Melbury Osmond. Its whereabouts are now sadly unknown but a replica made in 1975 is on display in the @DorsetMuseum #GothicAdvent

A thread about Establishment wealth, reparations, & why the Tories will *always* defend the statues of slavers & Empire racists… 🤨✊🌹🇪🇺 #Colston #reparations #ColonialViolence #resist #slavery #BlackLivesMatter
This chap is Richard Drax, Tory MP for South Dorset since 2010. His full name is Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, and he comes from a long line of Tory MPs and other assorted Establishment figures over the centuries. 😋✊🌹🇪🇺 #Drax #ScroogeMcDuck
He owns c14,000 acres of Dorset, making him the largest private landowner in the county. Pic shows his country seat, Charborough House. 🧐 #NiceGaff #Dorset #CountryLife
