2) The high risk #missingperson case should have been reviewed by an experienced detective as soon as possible but no review had been carried out when he came on call more than 16 hours later.

#JusticeForGaia
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.
4) The court was previously told there was a near three-hour delay in opening a #MissingPerson report after the alarm was raised by the teenager’s aunt, Talia Pope.

A number of witnesses have also testified that Ms Pope should have been graded high-risk from the beginning.
5) Other officers said they weren't given the resources for thorough initial searches. Former police constable Sean Mallon failed to hand over or inform the night shift sergeant that #GaiaPope was missing when he clocked off. Mr Mallon was disciplined for his role in the case.
6) The student, who had severe epilepsy, was also a rape survivor whose case was dropped by #Dorset Police in the year before her death. In the days before her disappearance she had contact with them again trying to report an incident of sexual harassment online.

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 Image
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...

THREAD. 🌹 Exhausted after today 😩 but relieved to have won recognition two HUGE victories in court today:

1. Recognition of the centrality of trauma & mental health support for Gaia's inquest (/all survivors). 🙌

2. Something we never thought we'd ask for...
...another delay to the inquest (now due May 2021) which given the current mess is essential to ensure the full & fearless investigation we need.

We are determined to do all in our power to make sure your family never has to stand where we stand today, fighting...
... justice for someone who’s been taken from you and who can never be replaced.

Huge thanks to our amazing legal team incl. @caoilfhionnanna & @HWistrich Sarah and Soohy for all their hard work, also @INQUEST_ORG, @RapeCrisisEandW England & Wales and @centreWJ as well as...
