Its really hard for anyone to figure how someone would want to take an innocent child from her family like this. Words cant be found to describe it. Hope she is found safe & well.

I’m an atheist but I think in a period of declining religion we need to uphold things like this that show solidarity with other people’s pain. It doesn’t have to be in a religious context but spiritual gatherings like these are a beautiful testament to our humanity. I hope she is found. There’s still hope.

looks Grimm finding her alive now,they should boil that animal alive until he spills his guts about what he knows,I’ll get the kettle on

we can only hope and pray she will be found alive. Till we know differently we should stay positive. Give me a pliars and strap him to a chair. I’ll get him talking.

why are comments open for this piece but not the one about the murder arrest?

I know it’s about the service rather than the investigation as such but if a commenter is really capable of saying something that could be prejudicial to a trial they could just as easily do it here.

unfortunately, there’s no hope for finding her alive. eye witness saw her getting into his Jeep. another witness saw a man fitting his description next day scrambling down river bank with large black. bag. police are concentrating on river at this stage. horrific.

I really hope all the red thumbs for messages of support to the family (including the ones I will no doubt get for this) are people on smart phones who intended to press the green thumb button.
