Sorry if I stepped on toes, I just know how much you all meant to her and thought you should know. My heart is broken. I've known her in the real word for 7 years.

I’m guessing no one would have said anything to the rest of us if you hadn’t. Thank you. My heart is so sad over this.

No toes stepped on, it’s just easier to think it’s a fake story than accept the loss. I am so sorry for your loss, it is such a tragic thing. I can’t imagine.

I'm horrified to hear this news.
I'm trying to square the circle of information or at least what I thought I knew about her. I thought she lived in S.A. and that she and her husband were on a world trip. Was she always living in the U.K. at an address that is being described as her home? and why is it being reported he was homeless??
This is just awful, she and I had a couple of private messages, I'm in shock.

This is heartbreaking. At some point, I'd like to hear the details on this, if anyone feels free to share them. I understand the court case is ongoing now and details probably can't be shared yet.
She will be missed!

This is devastating. I really loved her thoughtful posts. You could tell what a kind person she was. I was disappointed when she left the board, but never imagined this was what happened.

I'm confused by that article also... Are we sure this is the same person?

WHAT?!?! This is crazy. None of it makes any sense! They were on a world trip and going to Russia? I don't understand. Oh gosh this is awful

Sorry if I stepped on toes, I just know how much you all meant to her and thought you should know. My heart is broken. I've known her in the real word for 7 years. I'm feeling shocked and can't imagine how shocking this news is for everyone that knew her in real life. As hard as it is to share news like this, I'm glad you did.

Police are still investigating her death and asking for more information and it didn’t seem right to share it yet because inevitably and entirely understandably people would want to know how she died.

Oh my gosh. How does this even happen, to go from dream trip to homicide? Domestic violence is such a horrible thing. My prayers to her family and friends. Did she have children? I can't even imagine the horror of one parent being responsible for the loss of the other.

OMG, this is horrific. She sent me a message when the Oscar Pistorius trial was happening because she had some personal insight. Then she dies this way. Shit.

Not sure I agree with the thinking of the British Pea contingency here, but what's done is done in that aspect. I'm thankful to her real life friend, acorncrafts, for telling us what our Pea brethren wouldn't. I certainly hope the local police are doing a better job investigating than this Cornwall reporter did, if the amount of seemingly incorrect details in the article are any indication. I always enjoyed reading Scrapontherock's posts and her unique persepctive as a South African. She will be missed.

I’m sorry but I did what I thought was best in regards to not sharing the sad news regarding ScrapsontheRocks . A few weeks ago, after not having any replies to a few emails to her, I did some Googling. I found a UK newspaper article from March 20th, but apart from the names none of the other information made sense, and I couldn’t believe it was her. I was contacted by Devon & Cornwall police towards the end of last week as they’d found my personal email address. I decided not to post anything just yet as it was/is an ongoing UK police investigation.

So sad.
Earlier this morning though I saw this post pop up and there was a response after Lucy that was not the one announcing her death, I don’t recall what it said, but it was about 4 hours ago. Did anyone else see that?
What a tragedy, I really enjoyed her posts and she seemed like a lovely woman in a happy relationship with some wonderful opportunities to travel and enjoy life, This is just so sad. .
ETA. i wonder if the comment about him being homeless was more because he didn’t have a fixed address as stated later in the article. I know that British colloquialisms are different then ours, I have heard British people referring to homeless people as tramps which has a VERY different meaning in the US. What a bizarre story,

You did not step on any toes - I think there was just some intitial skepticism because it was so out of the blue and shocking. I’m sure we are all appreciative that you let us know, even though it’s awful to hear. My thoughts are with you and all who love her. She will be missed.

Sorry @gar I see the date the thread was started. That makes much more sense.
Still just so sad to hear this.

I didn’t know when I started this thread, no. We came across the article but convinced ourselves we were being ridiculous, that their names were common etc and that it couldn’t be her. It wasn’t until very recently that JoP was contacted by the police.
