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. I absolutely get this. The circumstances surrounding her death are incredibly sensitive, and I myself would hesitant to step forward -- at least at first -- for fear of passing incorrect information or creating a kind of drama which could be seem exploitative.

This makes me very sad. Many of us put on a face and to think that this poor lady had that troubled man in her life is really upsetting.

I am so shocked to read this. She was one of my favourite Peas, and I always enjoyed reading her thoughtful, intelligent posts. 😥

Despite peas confirming this awful news, I just cannot wrap my head around it. I KNOW scrapsontherocks lived in South Africa and she never, ever mentioned being in Cornwall to me or it even being on their itinerary. I am trying to remember if she said her hubby was from there. I think he was from the UK somewhere. Is there any chance at all that this isn't our scrapsontherocks?

Some peas knew her off the board and one has been contacted by the unit investigating her death. That was my first thought as well.

The names are not uncommon, so I too would be hesitant to believe it's the right person - until the police contacting you because they found your info in her things. So sad, and yes, hard to believe. But I can understand not wanting to say anything without concrete information.

Damn, this is so sad and tragic. Thank you acorncrafts for letting us know. Someone from the Devon & Cornwall police registered here about a month ago. I thought it was strange - to say the least - but couldn’t begin to imagine how they’d ended up here. Now, of course, it makes horrible sense

I am so shocked and saddened to learn of ScrapsontheRocks passing, and to be murdered by her husband is horrifying. I thoroughly enjoyed reading her posts, especially the travels she took. I cannot imagine what went on to go from a bucket list trip around the world to her death. I am happy that she was able to fulfill the travel that was on her list before she died. I also hope that her passing was a result of some kind of accident instead of any long term domestic violence towards her. She was such a kind pea.
I will be watching for updates as the investigation proceeds. And my heartfelt condolences to those of you who had a personal relationship with her.

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, I am very saddened and angry to hear this update. I'm confused. Wondering why she and her DH went on this trip to destinations that were outright dangerous. She will be missed here and IRL, and my sympathies and compassion go out to anyone who knew her. As far as her DH being listed as "homeless", I can give some insight to that. JUST YESTERDAY, my ex-moron of a husband referred to himself as "homeless, but living in the good graces" of his Russian girlfriend (long excuse for not being able to help or take DD30 in right now). I thought that the term, "homeless" was pretty freakin' dramatic, and still do (and this is the U.S.!). If I stop & think about it, I was "homeless" whilest living with said ex when our home was in his name only, right? It's all semantics.
I do hope that they get to the bottom of her demise and that her husband or anyone involved with her demise is rightfully charged and imprisoned. She seemed like a genuine, dear Pea who will be missed. This is so very sad.

My deepest condolences to those who knew her in real life and are surely reeling with the news, and apparent murder. May her memory be a blessing to you all.

Stunned. I remember reading of her romantic dinner with her husband around Valentines Day. This is unimaginable. Me too. Wow. This is not news any of us wanted or expected to hear. 😢💔 I’m going to miss her. Those of you who were contacted by police, what a terrible position to be in. I can’t imagine your shock over that phone call. You made the right call.

As far as her DH being listed as "homeless" If they were on holiday/traveling they would be staying in rented accommodation, an airbnb, or whatever - as opposed to their own property.

This is terribly sad and tragic. I pray for all of her friends and family to find peace. I hope that the police can get to the bottom of what happened to her. She was such a wonderful person. I loved reading her posts. I am so sorry acorncrafts for losing such a wonderful friend. I cannot imagine what you are going through finding this out. Thank you so much for having the courage to come here and share this information with us. We have all been worried about her. We would love to have you stay around and get to know you. And JoP It must’ve been so hard for you to be contacted and to keep the information to yourself; so that law enforcement could do their jobs and bring her justice. You are a wonderful friend and person.
