UPDATE: #ConstanceMarten and #MarkGordon further arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, as the hunt continues for their missing baby. 200 officers are involved in the search, including the use of helicopters and drones.

Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were arrested after being found in Brighton, southern England, but police are urgently searching for their newborn baby who went missing with them.

Cops have been unable to locate Constance Marten, Mark Gordon and their newborn baby despite repeated sightings across the UK. But a friend told VICE World News coverage of the case may deter them from seeking help.

So UK media are just assuming the conviction of a #Black British child in #Florida 33 years ago was 100% sound? Cool, cool #ConstanceMarten #MarkGordon #racism

So media have finally confirmed what #osint revealed days ago about #ConstanceMarten and #MarkGordon. Two thoughts:

- It's weird that a British child was tried as an adult in another country, sentenced to 40 YEARS (later reduced to 20), and this apparently prompted no response from UK media or politicians. Even accounting for racism, I'd expect some objection.

- "Slush fund" is an odd term for police to use.

In a sign that I shouldn't be trusted to make my own decisions, I tried to take part in a #ConstanceMarten thread on #Websleuths.
Highlights included:
"He's 48, so probably doesn't use social media"
"It's a private bank, so they don't have to co-operate with police"
"She studied Arabic at uni, so she's probably wearing a burqa"
