| Saunders: "Where is she?" | Saunders: "Where is she?" |
| Bridger: "It was an accident. I crushed her with the car. I don't know where she is. As I was going to drive away two girls on a bike came across me. I got out and saw one of the girls lying under my car. I don't know where she is. I picked her up and put her in my car, which is a left-hand drive and put her on the front seat." | Bridger: "It was an accident. I crushed her with the car. I don't know where she is.

| Bridger was advised that he should not talk until he reached a police station. But as he was driven away he said: "I need to talk. I have been looking for her all night and today on foot because my car is in the garage. My car is in Rob's garage. This is in Machynlleth. It's a Land Rover Discovery. I didn't abduct her. I tried my best to revive her. I panicked. The more I drove through the night the more I got pissed. | Bridger was advised that he should not talk until he reached a police station.

| "I can't believe I didn't just call an ambulance or the police. My intention was to head towards the hospital. There was no life in her, no pulse, no breathing. No response in her eyes. She was just on the seat. I tried to revive her using mouth to nose. When my hand went on her chest I knew there was a lot more to it.

| "I don't remember having her in the car when I went back. I looked in all my rooms in my house. I wouldn't have dumped her. She's a human being. I wouldn't have done that. The only place I haven't checked is down from my house. It's CJ Law Yard, caravans in there. | "I don't remember having her in the car when I went back. I looked in all my rooms in my house.

| "I really don't know where she is. I just want to know what I've done. I had my daughter's school meeting last night at 5pm. I don't remember seeing girls playing. I remember looking through my rear window. I saw a girl, dark-haired. I then felt the car rise up and down. My car was making a hell of a noise. When I looked there was a little girl under the car. She had gone a funny colour. She was only a little thing. I remember being by the clock by Rob's garage. I was numb, I don't know what I was doing." | "I really don't know where she is.
