The Missing is Back

Baptiste and the mother were not convince she was the daughter but then we had comfirmation that the DNA was the same as the father. Interestingly they didn't compare with the mother so whether that is another avenue the story will take we have yet to see.I have to say this series has really got me hooked, even if I don't always understand what is going on!!!

I tend to agree with Baptiste, I don't think that she was the daughter, however, I do think that the real daughter was the body in the burnt out shed,(my twisted mind) who was about to blow the cover of the imposter, so she suffered the terrible fate. There are still a lot of loose threads but they are slowly coming together. To throw a different light on this, is it possible that it was not a man who kidnapped the girls in the first place, but a man was calling the shots?

I must admit that this series is gripping and very well thought out, it also has me hooked, I'm in for the long haul...

The body in the shed could have been retrieved from somewhere else and is infact the daughter who in earlier episodes was described as being near death.( perhaps from the cemetry) and put in the shed. I think BT is correct, the butchers wife was involved in the kidnapping and was possibly going to spill the beans and that was why she was beaten up?.

I suppose we are gradually moving towards the truth and last night there were a few more twists and turns. Shame about the German policeman as he seemed increasing in the same mould as Baptiste.

I.m still trying to work out who was in the burning shed, to me, it has to be the proper Alice but why didn't they check the DNA against the mother? The Brigadier is, I think, involved deeply, so is the butchers wife. Who do you think is the third girl and where is she?

There are so many questions at the moment unanswered, we seem to get some amswers, but then more questions crop up. Is this the intention? Get people to fill their minds with questions and then they miss the clues? It has been said that all the answers are in the program. I'll stop now before I drive anybody crazy, including myself......

I thought the German policeman might be being developed as a character to 'take over' from Baptiste, perhaps in another series of The Missing.  However, last night's ending put an stop to that. unfortunately.  I think that one of the girls is 'Mummy in the basement' and that somehow the campervan and the new character last night (the man who did the drilling) are clues. Perhaps the 'Alice' who came back and is obviously still alive, and living near the campervan in Switzerland, was a favourite and allowed some freedom.  Perhaps during a period of beng allowed out she killed Henri Read and then had to 'disappear' so reappeared as Alice Webster, so they couldn't get at her.  I don't think the butcher, or his wife, are involved in any way and she was beaten up just because she was the wife of an alleged paedophile.  That's why 'Alice' sent 'her brother' into prison to apologise to the butcher - because she'd framed him and perhaps because she knew her brother was involved in the beating up.

My OH has a different view - so it will be interested to see just what develops in the story.

I do think that "Alice" is in fact Sophie the missing french girl, she has the same nervous twitch in her fingers as the french girl had...... 

This series has been gripping, so many different possibilities, keep thinking I've got it sussed, then something happens to change my mind. Didn't think it had anything to do with the army press officer, but after this week's episode, it could be him? 

" ...the new character last night (the man who did the drilling) ..."

I thought he was the army press guy and maybe the third man that Stone was referring to when Baptiste was interviewing him - "what we did to those poor girls, the three of us ..."

Did I get that wrong?

Come to think about it you could be right. I suspect him not being in uniform might have thrown me. It would also explain why he is there in the first place as he seems to do very little as press officer ( perhaps why I ignored him) and a bit surplus to requirements which would suggest he has a bigger part to play..
