Video: CCTV shows Mark Bridger walking dog day after April Jones' disappearance Five-year-old April, who had cerebral palsy, vanished while playing on her bike near her home in Machynlleth, mid-Wales, on October 1 last year. The next day, a helicopter looking for the missing girl zoomed in on Mark Bridger, 47, who was seen walking his dog outside his cottage. The prosecution say Bridger, of Ceinws, near Machynlleth, snatched and murdered April in a "sexually motivated" attack. The former abattoir worker denies abduction, murder and intending to pervert the course of justice by disposing of, concealing or destroying April's body. He says he accidentally killed April when he ran her over and accepts that he must have got rid of her body. But he says he cannot remember how he disposed of the body because he was suffering memory loss caused by alcohol and panic.
