General
We would like to start this Spring Update with a 'Thank You' to everyone who has kept us and of course Jenny, in their thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for the kind words that people say to us and for all the posts here on this Blog. Anyone is welcome to leave a message here, it is not just for family and I know some of you were not sure whether to post or not. As this update will be on a new page, it will look like all the previous comments have disappeared, they haven't, they will be in one of the archives and you can link to them on the right of this page. We look at all the messages of support regularly and check the archives now and then for any that are inadvertently left there. So, if you are new to the site, scroll through all of the archives and see the previous posts and find out about Jenny's plight, but if you wish to leave a comment, please return to this page and click on 'comments' at the bottom of the page.
Tree Planted
In March we had a tree planted for Jenny and a plaque placed on a small post at the bottom. It is a Dawn Redwood, which is a deciduous conifer and is fast growing. Although it is a conifer, because it is deciduous, it sheds it's needles each autumn. Before it does, it looks very beautiful as it changes through several colours from green to a reddish golden brown and gold. The trunk of the tree will in time, be covered in a beautiful red soft bark. Jenny's tree is just starting to bud, so it looks a bit bare at the moment compared to others, but it will soon take off! We don't want to advertise to the wider world exactly where the tree is just yet, but anyone who wants to visit, just call us or email and we will give you directions. The park wardens, who arranged everything and planted the tree for us, have been great and they have taken a personal interest in it.
The Investigation
We know it has been a while since we have updated this site or sent out an update email and a lot of you have been asking what is happening. The investigation is very much "still on the go" though (frustratingly) for obvious reasons, we are not able to go into any detail in this forum. We are sure however, that you will all take some comfort in knowing that it has not gone away or been closed down....... far from it!
Fingers crossed,
THERE ARE SOME MORE PHOTOS OF THE TREE AND PLAQUE UNDER "PHOTOS" POSTING ON RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE. CLICK EACH PHOTO TO ENLARGE THEN "BACK" ON YOUR BROWSER. SAME CAN BE DONE WITH THE ABOVE PHOTOS.
MAN CHARGED!!!
David Hodgson, of Richmond North Yorkshire, was formally charged in court on 16 May 2007 with Jenny's murder. He has been remanded in custody and a trial date is expected to be set for very early in 2008.
Unfortunately (though understandably) we have been asked not to accept any further posts until the trial has finished. We'll let you know when you can resume commenting.
Thank you all for your support.
Ann and Brian.
