In regards to all that's happened with two Swindon Women being murdered I have to say I am not of the opinion that Swindon is a Caring Community at all, I base this on the responses to Becky Godden-Edwards being found in comparison to the other victim. ( Sian)
With Sian O`Callaghan there have been thousands upon thousands of condolence messages left on numerous pages on Face Book, Approx 7 pages, one page alone has had 27,000 such posts or likes. Yet with Rebecca there are no more than 3 pages and the most likes any of them has received is 1,400, somewhat dramatically less than for Sian.
Whilst I accept that Rebecca had been missing for years, both these women should have been afforded the same amount of respect they were both murdered by the same evil person, and that makes them linked for eternity.
There has also been much in the news papers about Becky having had a drug addiction and working as a prostitute, what her lifestyle was should have no bearing on how she was treated once her remains were identified, she was a human being and the same as Sian O Callaghan in every regard, she has a Mother a family the same as Sian has, apart from their lifestyles these two young women were or are exactly the same, victims of an evil entity.
Sian I understand was whats regarded as a "good girl" Rebecca wasn't, (according to some) but she was still stripped of her life by the self same entity that Sian was. At this time Swindonians are revelling in the fact they've been classed as a caring community, to this I say poppycock, they are no more caring than the next Town in England, Or why not treat both Women's deaths with an equal amount of attention and respect.
To anyone who doesn't like whats written here then I say perhaps Ive hit a raw nerve. How could the people of Swindon be so blatantly biased, how cruel and unkind that must feel for the Family of Rebecca Godden-Edwards, how selfish and thoughtless. I feel ashamed to be from Swindon, far from being a Caring Community, judgemental and biased might be a more fitting description.
I have noticed that a few others also mentioned on the Face Book pages that Rebecca should have been afforded the same attention and respect as has been shown to Sian O Callaghan's family, that fell upon deaf ears.
10.000 people were reported to have attended the Lantern Lighting event at the Polo Ground some 300 went on the walk through Old Town, plus a sum of approx £2,000 has been collected and given to the family of Sian O Callaghan, people were almost falling over themselves to hold some event or another when it was learned that Sian had been murdered, numerous signature files were created, murals painted on walls, and more, yet for Rebecca the other victim, some balloons were released and a few Face Book pages have tributes on them, there was a special section on the Evening Advertisers website to leave condolences for Sian's family no such page for Rebecca, is that really how a Caring Community operates, Favouring one Murder Victim over another, this so say Caring Community, doesn't care at all unless a certain criteria is met, that's not Caring that's called Judging.
I think the People of Swindon have shown their true colours with how Rebecca Godden-Edwards is concerned.

To the Editor Evening Advertiser
If possible please could you pass this on to Rebecca Godden-Edwards Mum and Family, there was a special page on here to leave tributes for Sian, there is no page for the same for Rebecca.
Mrs Godden-Edwards, Please know that no matter what lifestyle your Daughter Rebecca lived, she in no way deserved to meet her end in the way she did, I truly feel for you and I can but only imagine the pain you must be going through.
If it helps I'm sure Rebecca is looking down on you now smiling knowing that at last you've found her and can now give her the burial she deserves. I hope you do not reproach yourself for anything, It wasn't your fault.
I hope in time you will be able to think of Rebecca and smile and remember the loving wonderful times I'm sure you had with her,Rebecca wasn't bad she just made a few wrong choices and that is something that can happen to the best of us.
She was more a victim of society. no more no less. At least now you'll be able to put Rebecca to rest with the dignity and respect she deserves as a human being.
May God Bless you and help you through this troubled time, and ease your suffering.
R.I.P Rebecca Godden-Edwards, & Sian O`Callaghan
Swindons Angels Linked for Eternity.
