Megan Stammers, 15, and married man Jeremy Forrest, 30, ran away together on Thursday night, but police speculate the two could have now travelled further into Europe, heading for Dover - and France.
"Megan was last seen on CCTV boarding a cross-Channel ferry with Forrest and British and French police are now desperately searching for them," according to the
report:
Engaged in a forbidden love with Stammers, Forrest, a maths teacher, a prolific blogger and a musician must have believed to have been running away together with his student.
In his Twitter account under his stage name as a keen musician, Jeremy Ayre, Forrest
wrote: “Let’s run away together. I wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle.”
As a prolific writer, romantic messages flooded on Forrest’s blog which according to report apparently intended for Megan. A relationship which according to Forrest ‘hit him like heroin’ led him to inundate romantic messages to
Stammers.
“Girl, I say if only life would lean our way. Well, you and me, we’d run away to be wherever our adventure waits.”
Two weeks later, he posted: ‘I don’t want to be what they want me to be. I only want to be with you.’
In another, he indicated plans for a clandestine meeting, writing: ‘A sign please!!! Is it safe?’ And a few days later, he said: ‘Me & you. Let’s just run away.’
‘I’m sinking like a stone in the sea. I’m burning like a bridge for your body.’ In another, he said: ‘There are some things I’ll live without. But I want you to know that I need you right now. I need you tonight..’
Not oblivious about his clandestine affair with Megan and its associated moral implications, Forrest wrote on his
blog.
'I had a bit of a moral dilemma to deal with, both internally and externally. And the overriding question it left me with was this;
How do we, and how should we, define what is right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable???'
I came to a different conclusions, mainly that actually we get a lot of things wrong, but at the end of the day I was satisfied that if you can look yourself in the mirror and know that, under all the front, that you are a good person, that should have faith in your own judgment. That’s some philosophical gold for you there!!!
However, there was also a hint of anger amidst all these romantic messages shown on Forrest blog on
June 22.
‘If anger was a currency, I’d be so ****ing rich right now...’
It therefore turned out Forrest implored Megan to 'do right thing' and influenced her so much to runaway with
him.'
It emerged based on a
report Megan was receiving free math lesson from Forrest and after-school tuition. The school in Eastbourne was obviously shocked upon hearing this incident.
Jeremy and his wife Emily were having a trial separation, as confirmed by his
friend.
Megan’s parents, who by now are uneasy with the situation, coordinated with the authority and hope for the safety of their daughter.
