What happened in Amber?

reply

Well last scene was the day she went missing, known as day 1.

Amber walks off a train and out of the station and down the road....beautiful long empty road with trees and Amber is walking, carrying a gift bag and looking happy and 'normal'

and it finishes...

we never find out what happened to her....as is usually the case with missing people

wondering if this is heading down the same road

I liked Amber, but alas it was not the usual ending was it?

As for "Disappeared," I think we now know something important by the end of Episode 4.

Although, they had me with this show until the final few minutes.

Having the lead detective's daughter find the body on a day's outing at the park and lake was such a huge clanger, I think it almost sinks the show--unless it somehow becomes essential later to the plot? But how?

This was absolutely absurd plotting and a total howler.

Another person who has appeared and might just have had enough focus on him to later become key--is the race track teacher.

Was she dealing drugs for HIM and became a problem--so he had to kill her? Were her frequent trips to the race track due to interest in driving, or a good cover for her visiting the teacher and the track all the time to help him deal drugs?

Dad is also in my sights--especially after he arrived harried to the panto at his daughter's school. Then a body was soon found hidden in the water.

I also remember Molina surmising that the misdirection to the latest potential crime location got the team away from the park search, so the perpetrator had time to hide or remove her body in the police absence. He may be on to something there, if it's dad or anybody.

Also, the way "dad" continues to run to the police scenes every time there is a development makes me believe he's is acting less out of grief and desperation, than using that "desperation" to get on the scene immediately to see what the police have found out--i.e. are they getting close to HIM as a suspect?

Grief and desperation is understandable--and it would be a good cover for dad to be continually getting close to the police every time they make a discovery. Simply to protect himself.

With the benefit of hindsight, I can tell you that I picked out the real culprit as soon as I saw them in the first episode.

When I saw the final episode and my suspicions were confirmed, it looked like a massive plot hole that they are the only prominent character who the police don't pay any real attention to. I was thinking, "If they had been real cops, they would have paid more attention to them and the story would have been over in two episodes". I was definitely disappointed that I could so easily pick out Lea's killer based on poor plotting by the writer,

But then there was the last minute plot twist, which justified my watching all eight episodes. I am sure by now, you know what I mean, but not only did I get Lea's killer wrong, but I suspected a sexual motive.

I am thinking they haven't covered the waiter guy get- how does he feature into all this....seems he was coming on to Lea but maybe also her supplier

Where is Chris' mother?

I am thinking the clanger will be that either The boyfriends mother is involved more than we think or the fathers mistress is the one responsible

two obscure characters who may have all or nothing to do with it

or that lea killed herself that's plausible too

reply

or that lea killed herself that's plausible too


Ummmm, how did she manage to crack open her own skull with a brick TWICE? 

She would have had to have been REALLY determined to do it. 

reply

I think it was Chris. The best friend, she seems more concerned about Lea's boyfriend going out with her now than anything else. Lea had just found out about them cheating before she went missing.

I bet they had a fight and it was an accidental death ect.

reply

good grief I hope not...that storyline of the vengeful best friend has been overplayed on every show- countless CSI, law and order episodes of the jealous best friend I truly hope they don't go down that road
surly then it would have been a waste of time

reply

Where is Chris' mother?

It was mentioned that her mum got killed in a road accident when Chris was small. If you mean her dad's current girlfriend, I don't think she has anything to do with it, but who knows. Everyone seems suspicious in a series like this! LOL

Something else I've noticed is that I'm assuming the envelope with cash in it that Dad finds in the garage hidden in Lea's case is the one Nicolas (the waiter) gives to Lea in the restaurant at the very beginning when she's on her way to the party. So, if this is indeed the same envelope, it must mean that either she came back home to hide the envelope/cash in the garage herself before disappearing, or someone took the envelope from her and hid it there; someone who had access to the garage.

Dad is also in my sights--especially after he arrived harried to the panto at his daughter's school. Then a body was soon found hidden in the water.

Yes, I agree. Dad is looking more and more suspicious with every episode! I think that crazy guy who claimed to have killed Lea actually saw someone do it and the way Dad flew off the handle at the station when he heard the guy say "I killed Lea" was way OTT. Dad probably panicked that he must've been seen killing Lea and lashed out or something, but then at the same time, Dad is too obvious, maybe?

I'm sure it'll be something like Lea saw or knew something she shouldn't have, so she had to be silenced.

Sorry i missed the bit about the mother dying in the car accident.

some interesting theories ..

I thought the father was just dim, that his overreaction and persistent interference were just signs of his immaturity - the whole 'I am protecting u' thing with Flo and Flo being the silent mourning obedient wife is all very unsettling...but that's maybe because I put it down to the father being stupid and wondering why Flo would rely on him so much.

Now considering your theory...maybe he is more crafty than I originally thought and there is more to him.

Excellent pick up regarding the envelope and her returning home....:)

I doubt the father killed her and came to the play however, she has probably been dead a few days
at most


I am thinking that the loyal girlfriend of the waiter is too good to be true. lovers leverage? behind every silly man there is an observant and insightful woman who is always two steps ahead :)

reply

I think it's the uncle. Funny how he's the most overlooked of all the men, yet one of the closest to Léa. Also something they said in the first episode about many incest cases in the area.

reply

I am convinced it is the uncle. They have questioned every male close to Léa - but he remains off the radar. Sometimes I want to pull my hair out at the plot twists though. Also how can the police and family have confidential conversations over drinks in a bar (dad and Molina). I agree Molina's daughter discovering the body pushed the show into a weird realm too. They should have just made a random girl find her.

reply

I think there is something weird about how Lea's supposedly best friend Chris is always after her bf Romain in spite of her friend being missing--and even when she was found. She shows hardly any emotion over Lea, just continues to pursue Romain. Very sociopathic, but we will see how it turns out.

I am certain the uncle is the babies father but not the killer

thinking maybe it was Chris or even the girlfriend (jealous rage)

hope they don't do an Eastenders and have Zoe as the killer...killed her sister by accident using her pink barbie bricks and the dad is covering up

reply

Am I the only one suspecting the brother? When there was a flashback scene with him and Lea in the bathroom messing about in episode 1 or 2, I thought then that inappropriate/incestual flirting/sexual tension between them was implied (?) but I dismissed it as the plot went on, but now that a family member is suspected, maybe there's something to it. But the uncle does indeed seem very suspicious now as well. He seems to be getting more screen time too all of a sudden, so that's another clue?!

As others have said, Chris is also so weird. She doesn't seem to be that upset that her best friend and cousin has just been killed. She comes across as unemotional and detached. But with her, I think that it may be more of a sub-plot where she's been obsessed and jealous with Lea and what she had. It's as if Chris wants to become Lea, chasing after Lea's BF, wearing her T shirt, and Zoe even drew Chris in the family drawing replacing Lea.

In any case, I'm hoping for an unexpected twist! Fingers crossed...

reply

following that line of thought can we apply the Jean/Corrine theory? That is Thomas is the father but Audrey killed Lea....she found out about them
and she killed her in a jealous rage

Or maybe even Pauline who thought Lea was sleeping with her man?

Always thought Audry was misplaced ....what's the use of her character other than to offer Thomas refuge- and I actually thiught Thomas looked too remorseful to have hurt Lea

I am still leaning towards Corrine however
