Kids that go "missing" but have really been killed by one of their parents

OnlyWayIsUp · 03-11-2010 11:50AM #1

Hi all,

No this is not the name of a new TV3 programme!

I'm trying to find out if there's been a parent or parents that have made an appeal on TV for the safe return of their "kidnapped" child when in fact they themselves have killed their kid but just made it look like their child has been kidnapped.

I'm sure that there must have been cases such as these in Britain, Australia or America and that there might even be interviews on youtube seeking the safe return of their kids.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of any names if they know of such cases?

Much appreciated.

Look just say some Peurto Rican guy took the kid and you'll be fine.

Is it a book or a film or a newspaper article?

You do know OP that they can check out your PC hard drive and find this post if you all of a sudden claim your child is missing next week:eek:;)

There was definitely a program on this before. I remember it centred on the "parent reaction" stuff. I remember one father was considered a suspect because in the TV appeal he got very upset. People thought he was hamming it up, but he was just very upset (understandable).

It's ringing bells anyway, I'll do a search and see if I can find it.

While in this instance, at the moment the family are supposed to be innocent, I have my doubts

Case has just been reopened.

I remember watching a program about Jon Benét Ramsey and so read up on it. It really does seem the parents weren't responsible at all and the cops didn't bother looking for actual suspects.

1/3 of the way down is parents who killed their children, might be a good starting point.

Susan Smith was sentenced
to life in prison for strapping her two toddler sons into her car, then pushing it into a South Carolina lake. For nine days, Smith maintained a web of deceit wherein she made a nationally televised plea for the return of her children, after claiming they'd been taken by a black carjacker. It was finally found out Smith had drowned the boys after her new lover said they had no future together because he didn't want children.

Sharon Matthews' mother hid her kid under the bed.

Does that count?

It wasn't her mother, it was her Uncle who the mother had persuaded to get involved in the hopes of a Maddie type fund being set up, they did it for the money. Scum.

You can do that, but it'd be tough to live with a secret like that. For instance you look at me and say "Hello" but really you'd be thinking "Liar! You're a liar! You know something you're not telling us you slimy scumbag liar! Or you be talking to my wife but secretly you'd be thinking MURDER! You got away with murder you stinking scumbag liar! And that's what people would be thinking, or sometimes people would be talking to you they would think MURDERER'S! You know goddamn well what happened to your kid so stop playing the victim and just confess you lying murdering liar!

The video seems more important to me now she's gone.

It should, too. The post about Madeline McCann's parents is speculation, not to mention slander.

Take that back! :mad: It's libel.

Dudess · 03-11-2010 01:32PM

People are really dying for the McCanns to be guilty - bit of drama I suppose, who cares whose life it ruins? Shur that kind of public baying for blood only helped land Lindy Chamberlain in jail for four years for murdering her baby girl, when she didn't.

Hah, OK. Apologies, I always get slander and libel mixed up.

Either way, accusing someone of murdering their kid when there's no evidence is bad form.

I hope that disgusting creature 'mother' is haunted with memories of those 2 kids for the rest of her days. She should be sterilised.

God bless the Children to be murdered by your parent/parents how sad
I dont know how the McCanns are coping
if I left my babies alone in an apartment with unlocked doors and if any
of them were taken I'd kill myself with the guilt.
Why they ever took that chance baffles me

Hope she never gets out of prison dead or alive.

Sorry OP but you should spend more time on Google. All your answers are there.

Reopen by popular demand.

That dingo story wasn't that in line with this?

I wish it had dragged Meryl Streep into the outback, never to be seen again.
