*Rachel: Sister of Richey Edwards.

Thank you so much! I'm a Richey stan and had a friend who disappeared, so I'm glad to see that some good has come out of this...

..although, I can't seem to load the iPlayer. Maybe it's my location? I'll try again tomorrow to see if I can view it.

I found this information on "The missing blog" a few months ago:

Everyone deserves a name

She looks like Richey, OMG.

Just managed to listen to the whole thing, not without some problems loading.

For those who haven't listened to it: you have to go through some news bites and a Barry White song, but the interview is worth it (well, imho). Rachel talks about the need to recognize what the families of missing people go through (the phrase she uses is that it is an 'isolating experience'). There are also some questions that deal specifically with the time Richey went missing; she stated that Richey's emotional and mental state were not taken into consideration when the missing person report had to be made.

Nothing too exciting, but as someone who has experienced the 'limbo' of having a friend go missing and who is a fan of Richey, I find it really worth listening to.

Thought I'd update with the Presumption of Death Act being passed in the UK (http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...1466-33072654/) and a new article with Richey's sister commenting on Act (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...Death-Act.html)

Thank you very much for pointing this out! What a brave woman Rachel is, I cannot begin to understand how horribly she and the family suffer.

Saw this in the Sun today. I've not followed her campaign but I was shocked how complicated everything was for them. Common sense prevailed at last
