In swan lake it was a light blue old fashioned bit of clothing with a hat and a big feather coming out of it with pointed shoes. Coppelia I can't remember. I know you are joking btw.
Coppelia is fairly dark anyway well at least the one I did was. I didn't dance or anything. My twin sister is a dancer and they needed a young child to act etc. I also had to bring the crossbow on in swan lake a few years later. It was at the mayflower.
Yes it seems that now the police are working on the assumption that the abduction theory is the most likely, but how do you know this was the case at the start of their investigation? How do you not know that their investigations led them to this scenario as the most likely one? I'm not a police officer but surely when taking on a case like this, getting to the bottom of what happened would involve looking at the case from the beginning without preconceived ideas and looking at the most likely scenario (I've seen it in countless reconstructions and the book mind hunter talks about it as the most important aspect of detective work at any rate). To my inexperienced eye, that seems like the most obvious job of police work.
If right at the start they immediately focused on the abduction theory and dismissed everything else then that would be ridiculously incompetent and you would have to question why they are in the job they are in.
The other thing on my s4 I love is the universal remote which means I can now control my girlfriends telly, my telly, my kitchen telly, my hifi, my sonos, my raspberry pi and my Virgin media box all through the one device in my pocket.
I wouldn't say mid range. When it is released it will have top specs and be up there. What it won't have is expandable memory via an sd card and a removable battery, both things I couldn't live without in my s4. Tbh all top end android phones are decent and will probably achieve what you want. Both the HTC1 and the nexus will probably be decent choices. My advice is to go into a store and see which one catches your eye.
