It says here that Ray Mears helped to track down Moat - interesting that they used his skills for it, must've been pretty darn scary for him too to be in that kind of environment.

(PS Mods I hope this doesn't count as political..)

Looks like it but it wouldn't be top of my list of things to do - track an armed murderer!

 

[presterjohn]

It doesn't actually make much sense as he was found by a member of the public in town. I wonder if the truth has got lost in the tale.

 

[Clouston98]

^ probably right. The media are always making things up or exaggerating.

So Ray is lying is he?

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

love a good Ray thread.

That it is not what I said now is it? But you cannot deny that the media like to exaggerate things to beef up a better story.

Can't imagine Moat was adept at anti-tracking measures! I wouldn't fancy the job though!

Due to his skills Ray was asked to get involved, I don't think he was happy that the fact was released to the press though.

It does not really matter what Ray says. It is what can be culled from what he said by the journalist writing the article that counts. The press can make whatever ever you say mean whatever they want it to mean should it suit them to do so.

Precisely my point.

I hear Bear Grylls was helping too but wasn't much help as Moat was miles from the nearest travel lodge (just kidding of course)

I read on Sky that it was Rays choice to speak out now as he felt that there was enough water under the bridge.

This might be my inner cynic speaking out but the timing does seen convenient with Rays new book being released in a few weeks. (Also mentioned in the Sky report).

Just playing devils advocate, I'm well aware of the propensity of the press for fabrication and lies!

well if Paul Gasgoine brought along 2 fishing rods some lager and a cooked chicken, I believe him. But surely they had other trackers too ?

Hre you go, a bit more info from the man himself.............http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24351654

This is old news...

Read his biography.

Hence why it was first posted over a month ago

 

[Corso]

he was probably asked - if you were hiding out in X area where would you hide and he gave his opinion - i doubt he was standing at the head of the armed response team

Actually if you read his biographical account of the situation you'd know he gives a very in-depth and detailed account of the entire story from his point of view. He spoke with numerous forces and was briefed by many agencies. He led about a dozen heavily armed officers with support dogs into dense forest and got close to Moat. He was heavily involved.
