Reasons theWatchcut out that detail: the simplest explanation is they couldn’t verify it. Otherwise, there could be a super-injunction – remember the first rule of super-injunction is that you can’t mention super-injunction – but could an eighteen-year-old adoptee afford the hundred-grand legal fee?
There is one other possible reason – they’re keeping their powder dry while they plan to feature the story in greater depth at a later date – perhaps they have someone already on the case, trying to trace the baby, or about to write something about it not being traceable. A little article like this is a good barometer of interest. See how many clicks it gets, how many comments, how many shares. Gives them an idea of what resources to divert to it.
Check out the comments section beneath the article. Always surprising how people won’t come forward with info but will write it anonymously on a news site.

I feel like shit.
Amanda Bailey
Good. It was a shitty thing to do.
Oliver Menzies
Not the Jonah story. This mediation meeting with the mad squaddie. They tried to paint me as the guilty party. Said I’d hounded a brave war hero and victim of PTSD. Wanted an apology FFS. Gaslighting bastards. And you’re still pissed off too. And I’m still woken up at 4.44 a.m. every day.
Amanda Bailey
Don’t think I’ve forgiven you. I NEVER will.
Oliver Menzies
Oh well, that’s me feeling a lot better.
Amanda Bailey
There’s an interesting comment beneath your Daily Watch piece. Will paste it
Amanda Bailey
‘My uncle was in the police and he said strange things happened when they arrested Gabriel. One minute he was injured, and the next he wasn’t. His wounds healed themselves. No one who witnessed it would ever mention it again. He’d also say things the coppers wouldn’t understand, then something would happen to make sense of what he said, and they’d all be freaked out.’
Oliver Menzies
Where? I’ve just looked and can’t see it.
Amanda Bailey
You’re right, that comment’s disappeared I copied and pasted it an hour ago. The moderator must’ve removed it. Wonder why.
Oliver Menzies
I told you. There’s something going on. Something about him.
Amanda Bailey
It’s a mythology. Similar stories have been told about other notorious murderers. Fred West especially. Many opportunistic killers seem to have an instinct for when they are unobserved.They’ll snatch victims in broad daylight and no one spots them.
Oliver Menzies
Listen. What if a ‘sixth sense’ is a BIOLOGICAL trait of psychopathy?
