Months of heartbreak and searching for answers - now Peter Baglin's family have received the worst possible news
As the desperate search for missing great-grandad Peter Baglin neared the ten week mark, police made a horrific discovery. Human remains were uncovered and later confirmed to belong to Peter, who had gone out for a walk on December 28 and never returned.
Around half an hour later, Peter spoke to his concerned wife Michelle on the phone. He told her he was going out for a walk along the Bridgewater Canal to 'clear his head'. He assured her he would 'be home soon'. He would always tell her: "Michelle, you are my world."The following day, on December 29, a number of Peter's belongings were recovered on the canal embankment, at the bottom of Vicars Hall Lane in Boothstown, a short walk from his family home.
With each new day, police enquiries continued with pace, but after a fortnight, there were still no leads in the investigation or any further confirmed sightings of Peter. And as was seen in the disappearance of Nicola Bulley in Lancashire, 'social media investigators' reared their heads once again, sharing homemade videos to Youtube, making their own suggestions about what could have happened to Peter. One user even suggested their may have been a 'third party' involved, with wife Michelle hitting back saying the rumours were 'fuelling speculation'.
"We understand that the last two months have been extremely difficult for them and this continues to be a distressing time for all of Peter’s loved ones," Detective Inspector Michael Sharples said in a public statement.
