Thank you for the kind messages in the last couple of hours, today has been stressful and disappointing. On Saturday two separate search & rescue dogs 'indicated' to a couple of ponds south along the canal towards Burston. Police mobilised divers to search this morning, and have also covered another portion of the canal. Frustratingly there is no sign of Josh.
We are putting together plans for organised searches this weekend - a private property with CCTV is being reviewed currently, which will guide this weekend's searches. In the meantime, if anyone is able to help in any way during the week please message myself and/or Momo (Irene) and we will gratefully advise where we can. As always, please share wide and far to help us bring him home.
Almost two weeks now since Josh disappeared. As a family we are trying our best to stay composed and focussed. This evening my thoughts are with Andy, who has raised us for over 20 years in the best way he knows how, as if we are his own, unconditionally.
Hannah I too was thinking about Andy and didn't remember how young you both were when he came into your lives until you posted that picture on the motorbike the other day. He has been amazing for you all. Love to Andy xx
Sorry to hear no results hope you get news soon x
Wonderful Man Andy was a pleasure to meet him so sorry today has not bought josh home sending love to Sara 🌹 and all the family x
I really.hoped you would have answers today. Thinking of you all. Xx stay strong. Xx
Constantly hoping for the end to this search for you and your loved ones. Sending you all love x
So sorry for you all. I cant help during the week but available again at the weekend so I'll keep my eyes out for further posts/plans x I've said it before but I will say it again. Hannah, you are incredible. I grew up in Aston and, like you, have the most amazing 'step' father. Often they do not get the credit they deserve. Sadly I no longer live there so can not offer physical support but I continue to pray that Josh is found. Keep strong. We are all 'with you'. Hannah I feel disappointed for you all that there still remains no conclusion but grateful that you have each other. Please take the time you need to deal with this together. While our interaction through this group is mainly with yourself and Irene we truly have the whole family in our hearts. Xx And wonderful pics I can help sunday with one of potentially 2 gun dogs if that's of any help Thinking of you all xx So sorry today's searches have been fruitless, i hope this living nightmare of yours is soon over and Josh is found. Stay strong much love and prayers x big hugs to you all xxxSo sorry today s searches have not come up with anything I hope Josh comes home soon this whole nightmare will be over stay strong much love and prayers shared the photographs xxxxxxxcI can't imagine what you and your family ate going through Hannah. He's obviously so loved. Sending love and hugs you find him soon xxHope Josh is found very soon and returns home . X Hannah babe i am thinking of you all every night,i do have trouble walking and if could help i would,i so hope he is found soon,you are an inspirational lady who is doing as much as can be done to find your lovely brother,looking all the time to see what news their is,sending hugs to you all.xxxxxxxx This post has made me cry, not only because i feel for you but your tribute to your step father. Being a step parent is actually far harder sometimes that just being a parent. Sounds weird but it's true. I bet the pain he is feeling currently is unbearable :( I will put up some posters in Abbey Hulton tomorrow, a little way out but, you just never know. So very sorry to read that today's search hasn't brought the longed for outcome. Keep strong - my love and thoughts are with you and your family and, of course, Josh ❤xx So sorry to hear you havnt had any news today, your in my thoughts all the time, really praying that you get some news /bring josh home soon, stay strong 💕Thinking of you all. You show such incredible strength. Xxx I don't know what to say Hannah, I just hope you get closure soon, it is just awful, you're all in our thoughts I can't imagine the heartache your going through. Did the dogs not indicate anywhere else? And would it be better if we searched near the ponds etcl Thinking of you all xx Thinking of u all. Can't imagine what you're going through. Lots of love xxx Stay strong Hannah, you will find him.. my heart goes out to you and your family love.. xOh I'm so sorry today didn't bring some answers Hannah. I can't begin to imagine what you are all going through right now.... I just hope you can take even a tiny bit of comfort from knowing how much we all care and want Josh to be found and home with you. Sending you strength, hope and love xxx
Thinking, praying & sending you love & strength. Xxxx We will find him Hannah, we will xxx Thinking of you all and Josh every day 💜 praying for the answers for you 🙏🏻💔 Xxxxx Oh I am so so sorry we all hoped the leads you had would bring Josh home to you. We will keep searching. Stay strong, you are doing an incredible jobxx
Thinking of you all 💖💖💖 I'm so sorry you have gone another day without answers, I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like. I feel so hopeless stuck at home with baby and wish I could help more. I hope to have a few hours spare during the week so I'll keep my eye out on search areas. You are daily in my prayers, stay strong x Sorry nothing has come if this. I hope you get some good news soon. You'll Never Walk Alone Hannah.So sorry that today's search was unsuccessful. Thinking of you all and hoping that you bring Josh home soon x
So sorry today didn't go so well for you. Stay strong and I hope your Joshua comes home to you soon xxOh Hannah Buckley, I'm so sorry that you still haven't got any closure. It was hard enough when My family and I had to wait three days before we knew what had happened to my son but I can only imagine how hard it must be for you and your family! I hope you don't mind, but I have shared this on Twitter as there didn't seem to be a lot about him on there. My thoughts are with his family and I hope he's found safe and well very soon. Xx Right now, you and Josh and your family are in my first thoughts when I wake and my last thoughts at night before I sleep. I'm grateful that I can sleep ... I'm sure that sleep is far from easy for you all. The wait is terrible. The hope and expectation is terrible. This can't go on forever. I hope that you get some comfort from knowing that a whole county is with you and that every single one of us will be there for you whatever happens.
There is a lot of support for Hannah and her family at this terrible time as these posts show.
