Model kidnapping.....something wrong there ?

I heard her lawyer on the radio, saying how disgusted he was that anyone should question the story.  OK, he's a lawyer and probably not given to emotional outbursts in public, but he didn't sound anything like a man in a state of moral outrage.

When I read she was to be auctioned on the dark web I knew it was bullshit.

Thing is...if it's a scam of some sort, what's in it for the guy who's been arrested? I can't see any possible up-side for him, but he can't be telling the truth.

She'll probably get her baps out in some posh newspaper, like The Daily Sport.

I think everyone, the Italians in particular, are doing a very good job at keeping a straight face. 

I wonder who fed the dog while she was away....

Sounds like the plot of Taken minus the skilled serial killer dad.

I think they got the idea from a thread on Reddit where someone posted about a human auction site along with a picture of a woman tied up.  It didn't take long for someone to find out the pic was a still from a porno.

The guy who's been arrested lives near where I grew up.

I thought it sounded terrible, until i saw her on the news acting all 'vogue', posing and pouting in her garden.

Fucking lapping it up!!

I thought exactly the same when I saw her reading her 'statement'. If I'd have been bundled into a suitcase and chained to a radiator for a week, the last thing i'd be doing would be giving it all doe eyed to the camera....I await the outing of the real story with interest.

Oh well, she's guaranteed an appearance on the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.  Maybe even Love Island.

Think they are doing a one off special, Celebrity Pinched Mother....

OK two cuppas and a few Google searches and I'm suspicious too.

There is no gang. The suspect in question is a fantasist. He may have held her against her will though (I guess any trial will establish the facts)

I'm not doubting her story, but I think she was the victim of a lone loony.

I've just seen the photos. Not the type of "model" I was expecting.

Where did you read that no gang was involved?

She was exactly the type I was expecting...

Puzzled what you were expecting.

The first news report I read on this referred to her as a glamour model, which immediately made me think this was a publicity stunt, at least in part.

Well, I was expecting Kate Moss, at the very least. As it is, she looks more like Daily Sport material. She's got some serious Scouse Brows going on, there.

I think the idea with the glamour modelling business is that you should be looking at other things than her eyebrows.

Alternatively, you could compare her and Kate Moss and see it as a sign of how Croydon has gone down hill over the last twenty years.

Pretty much everywhere, it's just one chap claiming that he was working on behalf of the Black Death gang, but there's no evidence this gang exists.

I wonder if there is a middle ground.

Recently near me, a newborn baby girl was left in a bus shelter, cord still attached.  A car drives past a sees the baby, pulls over, covers her in a jacket and phones 999.  Good man... (ish).

Less than 2 hours later, whilst the road was still closed as they were looking for the mother.  His face is on both local newspapers with a full story about how he had to administer CPR, and he'll treasure the moment her beautiful eyes opened and he cried with happiness etc...  

So the basics of the story is true, he did indeed find the baby and full credit to him for stopping after he thought he saw something etc... However, what a bellend to turn it in to this big story, and spends the following days on Facebook in local groups posting loads of things to lap up the glory, a lot of it lies.

I wonder is something did happen to her in a basic sense, but the rest could be bullshit (it could be true, to be fair).

You grew up? You mean where your toys got more expensive.
