22 July 2022: Madison Wright, 30, was last seen alive. A body was discovered on 30 July and although formal identification has not been disclosed, Madison’s family have been informed. Gary Bennett, 36, has been charged with her murder.

Small rant… went to hire a speed boat on Lake Garda with 4 girls. I was asked where the man was. When I said there wasn’t one, I was asked who would be driving it then 😡😡we couldn’t choose.. Medical director-doc, pilot, head of HR or CEO of marketing consultancy? Decisions 🤔
