I saw that page a month or two ago. It has a picture of what is apparently supposed to be the toll receipt from when Richey crossed the Severn on the day he disappeared. However, it's for 3.70, and every mention of the amount says that the toll was actually 2.70!

It's a picture of 'a' toll receipt. Not necessarily 'the' toll receipt.

It is, but I'm sceptical.

I still find stuff like this creepy; Facebook pages like this one, people who make montages of pictures of Richey set to depressing songs, the ones who make weird Nicky/Richey gay anime pictures. It's very disturbing.

I agree with most of that. the gay anime can stay though

I just clicked on the BBC Missing Persons youtube link on that facebook page and apparently 2 days after Rachael was on it was announced there had been a sighting. At least I learnt that someone saw a man that looked like Richey, probably in a chippy or a Co-op. Or an offy.

Yeah, I was confused. I don't believe it is, but clearly that's the implication.

It'd be interesting to see what the police would make of those photos of the receipts if they're real, since they would presumably have been taken from an evidence file.
Open the toll ticket image up in whatever the photo editing suite is on your machine and blow up to 600%-800%. Compare the 5 on 95 with the 55 on 2:55. They are different - the 5 in 95 looks like an altered 6 or 8.

Well...if you are going to pretend to be Rachel, I'm guessing that's not outside the scope of things you might do.

I'm a bit skeptical about the picture of the supposed card from Richey's stay at the hotel, also. Was the place called the Jarvis London Embassy Hotel in Feb 1995, or just London Embassy Hotel? I seem to remember being surprised a few years later when I saw "Jarvis" as part of the name, and thinking they must have changed it since Richey was there.
