What are your thoughts on this guys? Still alive, dead? Run away or abducted?

If abducted or murdered...family or local peadofile?

[daffy654]

It would be very hard for a 9 year old child to stay missing this long without help from an adult. Sadly I think she may be dead now.I have no thoughts at the moment about who may be responsible.I will await news from a reliable source.

[Mamjet]

Definitely the stepfather. And before you all whinge at me - you thought it too.

I totally agree, its very difficult for her survive without coming into contact with someone. I am still not decided on wether she was abuducted or just simply fell into a river or had an accident, where she possibly hid.

[Mamjet]

Stepfather.

I find it interesting how the police announced publicly that they were looking into the criminal records of her relatives and also released the 999 call from her mother. Do they have a strong hunch and are trying to flush the killer out?
Their MO does appear to be unusual.
Poor kid.

I never thought it might be a run away, why on earth would a child pick a day she had been swimming (wet hair, bit cold, not much clothes on her etc...)

You would think she would have run away with at least some clothes, choci bars and some money!

Most likely an abduction of some sort (probably an opportunist), but like others, don't think she's alive!

Poor thing!

No matter what anyone says on here, it's just conjecture - nobody (including any idiot who says that it's definitely x, y or z) knows what has happened to the poor little girl.

[Unsureme]

Lets all hope she is found safe and well.

[Mamjet]

mike1222 - the original question asked for our thoughts - so call them an idiot rather than me for trying to answer the question. Moron.

[bensmum]

I would like to think that she is alive somewhere but after this amount of time I think the chances are very slim- poor little girl.

[mike1222]

mamjet, if you had said that you THOUGHT it was the stepfather who had caused her to disappear, then fair enough, but to categorically state that it was DEFINITELY him says quite a bit about your intelligence (or lack of!)

[mike1222]

mamjet, Nearly forgot - you shouldn't go TELLING people what they thought, it's up to them (another sign of your stupidity!)

[Mamjet]

Er? I didn't. But I suppose your post makes sense to you? well done. If you think of any other great put downs hours after posting a reply, do be sure to let me know. moron.

[daffy654]

Mamjet,you said the other day that you are a high profile lawyer(I didn't believe you then or now).If that is the case you should realise that categorically stating that the stepfather did it is not entirely legal.

[Mamjet]

unless he did it. which he did.

imho.

[Wop/tpo]

There is a law of libel, which can bite.

[4getmenot]

this morning her best friend said she had mentioned finding a fox hole and was going there that day but her friend didnt know where it was. Maybe she went there.

[Mamjet]

laws cant bite you idiot.

[mike1222]

Mamjet, if this (your reply) isn't telling people what they thought, then I don't know what is!

"Definitely the stepfather. And before you all whinge at me - you thought it too."

Sorry about the late reply, but I do have a life away from the PC.
