Has Lachlan murdered Rebecca?
THERE’S NO SIGN OF REBECCA, AS LACHLAN TRIES TO COVER HIS TRACKS…
Evil Lachlan looks set to be rumbled when his girlfriend Belle makes a shocking discovery in his car this week. Has he killed Rebecca?
With Rebecca having been missing for a week, her friends are wondering why she left so abruptly, seemingly without a care for her baby son, Seb. Meanwhile, nervy Lachlan is trying to keep his composure as the questions pile up over Rebecca’s whereabouts. Having claimed the lives of his mum Chrissie, grandfather Lawrence and best friend Gerry, has Lachlan added Aunt Rebecca to his list of victims?
“Lachlan is capable of anything – he’ll do whatever it takes,” says our Emmerdale insider. “He’s already proved that anyone who threatens to expose him will be silenced forever. Rebecca’s only been safe so far because she has been suffering from amnesia. But now all bets are off.”
Belle is deeply concerned, and wonders why Lachlan doesn’t seem more upset about his missing aunt. So she’s stunned when she finds Rebecca’s memory book in the boot of her boyfriend’s car. Of course, Rebecca was thrown in there after Lachlan realised she’d worked him out, and the book is crucial evidence of his involvement. But when Belle confronts him, Lachlan angrily asks why she’s accusing him, and insists the book must have fallen out of Rebecca’s bag when he last gave her a lift. Although Belle feels guilty and drops the subject, Lachlan’s so rattled he comes up with another plan to throw everyone off the scent.
“He fakes a text to himself from Rebecca’s phone, wishing him a happy birthday,” shares our snitch. “He thinks this will stop the questions, but once the text arrives, people want to know more about where Rebecca is and why she left so suddenly. This infuriates Lachlan and he totally loses it! Surely his bizarre behaviour will tip someone off?”
Perhaps there is one person who will rumble the culprit: Robert is determined to find out what’s happened to Rebecca, and his search will unearth some vital information...
