Bridger unable to recall where he put April

Elwen Evans QC, prosecuting, said April's body has not been found because Bridger was trying to cover up what he had done.

She said: "Why has April's body, not any a part of it, been found?"

The defendant replied: "I have put her somewhere where it hasn't been found."

Bridger denied putting the body somewhere "carefully chosen".

Miss Evans said: "It's just one of those things? That wherever you have put her was just a search site that the police never looked? Is that what you are saying?"

Bridger replied: "You are asking me to speculate here and I can't do that."

Miss Evans said: "You really are not going to give us any assistance as to what you did?"

Bridger said he told police at the time about the places he had been and walked, including caves and rivers.

Miss Evans said police had been "up hill and down dale, down mine shafts and not found her anywhere".
