The chair of the residents association, she has been most vocal throughout this and always been by Karen Matthew’s side.
Psychology
The residents on the estate are now quite rightly confused. I recall then Shannon was discovered, the police’s first unofficial statement was along the lines of this being a very confusing case. This was always going to have twists and turns and Donovan was always going to try and take his life. I don’t know if I wrote that on here – I don’t think I did because I think I thought it might be in bad taste but actually I should have!
If I thought he was a strong suicide risk then why didn’t the authorities looking after him?Michael Donovan or ‘uncle Micky’ as Shannon calls him, was a depressive man who had already lost custody of his own daughters. He had an alleged history of snatching his children most likely brought on by his desperate need to see them! I think social services forget that at times it might be a good thing to take kids from their parents under certain circumstances; nevertheless the parent is never going to forget they had a child/children.Donovan is always going to have psychological issues and because he is less educated and less articulate, he was not be able to get his needs addressed. Prison is possibly his best option at the moment.
Shannongate
Yesterday, the Times was the first to spell out the whole story of how Karen Matthews may had been h
aving some sort of relationship with Donovan…..yet another great choice there then Karen, but then again we are living in the new reality TV show of ‘Shannongate’. I said the other day how they did not choose to be thrust in the media but this may not be true? The media are now all singing the same tune stating Karen Matthews knew where her daughter was the whole time, some members of the family had applied for funds from the Maddy McCann fighting money and Karen had spilled the beans to friends (see yesterday’s blog entry for tearful boo hoos and link to the Times article).
Are the rumours true
Perveting the course of justice could mean anything and we all know the media are good at making up stuff but they are also like bloodhounds when it comes to sniffing out information.

The police must have a good deal of information themselves possibly from the media!? as the newly single, Ms Matthews, is still being held today (Tuesday) and was arrested on Sunday. The police will need to ask for extra time this morning or Ms Matthews will have to be released.
The media are saying that the police are looking at other family members being involved however I reckon they always had that in mind. When they announced some days ago that
Donovan was working alone, it was to make people relax. After all, we are not dealing with criminal masterminds here………yes that sounds rude but it is true. IF Shannon was to be taken and it was all to do with money then what a shocking plan! (shocking as in bad). Copying Shameless which is what has been muted again by media sources, is a joke and I hope that rumour is wrong.

If this is all about a woman having an affair with a man and that woman not having the nerve to tell anyone, including her partner, then that is terribly sad. Donovan still snatched her daughter and she may have known where her daughter was so: was she protecting Donovan because she knew her daughter was safe? The longer Shannon was missing (or not to her), did she panic not knowing what to do? Also did she really know he had taken her? Did she have contact? I find this all really odd? If she had an idea he had taken her then she would had made contact with him at some point? Odd odd odd..........Her mobile would be checked.........Maybe she didn't contact him? If not but why not if she thought he had her?
All based on what the media are reporting so none of it makes sense! Let's hope the police can release a statement soon and we can make sense of all the information.
Here's a Sky News’ video report when Ms Matthews was arrested. There are plenty out there to choose from: http://video.news.sky.com/skynews/video/?&videoSourceID=1311980&flashURL=/feeds/skynews/latest/flash/shannon_tubb_p4914.flv
Craig Meehan will be back in court April 11. He has been charged with having 130 indecent photos of children.
