I think Webber believes in the reality of what she does. If she was really a charlatan who was just making it up, isn't it just as likely that she would run with the Asian woman abduction line?
There were always doubts about the abduction theory. I don't think Deb Webber deserves any more credit than anyone else who guessed that perhaps the police search might have missed something, and that drowning or a fall was also a likely cause of death.
Making superficially informed guesses in public is Deb's stock in trade. She took a four-word incoherent stab at what may have happened, which was couched so broadly that it could be stretched far enough to fit an accidental or foul play death of almost any kind - possibly even far enough to fit if Aisling was found alive, depending on circumstances. "Ditch, hole, in, fallen". What if someone had rescued the lost Aisling after, or just before, she fell down somewhere, and taken her home?
So, an intelligent, experienced fraud with probably a good grasp of likely causes of death for toddlers, but a fraud all the same, and one surfing a publicity wave in the midst of tragedy.
If she's managed to delude herself to the point where she believes her own nonsense - which is the most charitable explanation I can think of for her behaviour - perhaps she needs some time away from TV cameras and murder scenes so she doesn't wind up further destroying her own dignity and perhaps harming incredibly vulnerable people in the process.

Personally, I'm going to refer to it as 'The Scottish Thread'.
A welcome import, certainly better than the Lovecraftian stuff I was trying to think up earlier...

As I said above rockets go wrong easily, and usually spectacularly in front of your friends leaving you looking sheepish and feeling foolish while everyone else is whooping it up .... a lot of people get discouraged and don't come back - you have to develop a sort of zen acceptance of failure to keep at this game.
Now seriously wondering whether I should try to get an old rocket of mine going again - just a (relatively) tiny hobby rocket but it never actually made it off the launch pad. Would like to have another go at some point just to know that the bastard thing actually flew in the end.

But y'all really must read Leo's awesome review of Dead Space: Extraction on the Wii. The boy can write.
Certainly I couldn't help but admire this:
Dead Space Extraction takes place in the media hub that is the Dead Space franchise. The series is a cake made of win and the icing is made of success.

Absolutely off topic but .... Outrageous Fortune, what an ending. Didn't see that coming.
Beat me to the comment, you sod!
Yeah, that was insane. I was already near peak ZOMG at the stabbing, and then...

I think our friend must be all teapartied out.

Only during the day, in our coffins. We come out at night to suck the creative juices from the necks of starving artists.
Vhat music they make...

The Red air force caused quite horrific casualties amongst German refugees being evacuated from the Baltic ports.
And then, of course, there was the Wilhelm Gustloff.
Not technically a war crime, for reasons given in the article, but I mean, words fail.

Thanks Sam. Yes, avoid the comments.
Wow, that's pretty much the worst I've seen of Maps' regular NZ pseudohistory trolls - and appears to have an anonymous sockpuppet too!
Reading the Maps is a fantastic blog, but the one problem with its magnificent debunking of Celtic NZ and other nutters is that these people are all on the Internet and will swarm at the slightest provocation.
