Seriously?

There's a twelve-year-old child still missing. Horrible to think what might have happened to her. You'd have to have a pretty sick mind to find humour in the situation.

Couldn't agree more.

In all fairness what happened with Shannon happened, doesn't mean it's the same situation here.

What if the young girl actually is missing? If she was abducted the abductor wouldn't bring her out in central London which is crawling with CCTV and police. Ofcourse it's going to be hard to catch her on CCTV.

The family fell a bit itchy, I agree, but you would be too if you lost your child?

All in all, I hope the poor thing gets reunited with her family soon, all hopes are on her safe return, Wether the abduction is fake or not.

The grandmother and her partner look very cagey and shifty all the same though.

I think if the family were involved the police would have it solved by now, usually when a family member is involved the investigation is over in a matter of days. It's a week tomorrow the girl is missing and the police seem to have nothing. Also the fact she has gone missing when the vast majority of the police force are involved in security for the olympics is worrying, it's a perfect time for an abductor to strike and there was reports of some guy harassing kids in the area in the days previous to the girls disappearance.

There isn't an ounce of nastiness in my post. My mind is fine. Get over yourself.

Obviously hope she is found well.

Not without a body or solid evidence that a crime was committed in the house.

Latest report.

It is now one week since the disappearance of 12-year-old Tia Sharp and police are expected to step up their questioning of the public in an attempt to jog memories.

Her grandmother's house in New Addington, Croydon, has remained the focus of the investigation, as it was the last place she was seen, on Friday, August 3.

On Thursday evening, detectives removed a holdall from one of the rooms in the terraced house, believed to contain quilts and bedding.
They were later transferred into evidence bags and taken away for examination.

Stuart Hazell, the boyfriend of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp, is believed to have been the last person to see the girl and detectives are treating him as a key witness in the inquiry.

He has told them Tia left the house at midday, last Friday, to go shopping in Croydon with money he had given her.
It is thought she would have walked to a nearby bus stop and police are expected to again talk to people who regularly use it.

It just weird she hast been captured in cctv or anyone seeing her.And now the granny has admitted to not seeing her for over 24 hours even though that contradicts earlier statements.

The stepgrandfather was also her stepdad for a while makes you crazy to think what that set up was like.
Hope she is found safe but at the moment its not looking good.

Agreed, he is very dodgy looking.

allibastor · 10-08-2012 09:53AM

its a ****ing odd story to be fair.

i am also looking at the ages of the family. the granny of a 12 year old is 47. how did that happen.

though really, its a shock that if someone goes missing there is not a big man hunt for her, even if she is dead or what not they should still make an effort to find out what happened to her, poor thing.

sunflower27 · 10-08-2012 11:55AM

Poor little girl.

Very strange no-one has seen her... and the bed stuff in the holdall is weird as well.

Doesn't look good at all that she ismissing a week and no-one has seen her. An adult may get away with going into hiding, a child far less so.

Convicted of crack dealing previously, by the look of him he was his own best customer. He is 37 going on 60.

One positive, if you could call it that, would be that the family are so clearly dysfunctional it would give some evidence that she mght have simply run away from these idiots.

David900 · 10-08-2012 12:16PM

Read this morning that the step-grandfather dated the girl's mother before he hooked up with the grandmother. Proves nothing but but its ****ed up.

Temaz · 10-08-2012 01:09PM

Hopefully the re-construction will jog someone's memory.

Temaz · 10-08-2012 01:30PM

JUST BREAKING

Police hunting for Tia Sharp cordon off her grandmother's house amid signs of a new development in the case.

The family set up IS a bit weird, but I dont think that's got much to do with it, I do however have a feeling the step grandad had something to do with it, his stories dont match up

plus they're really focusing on him and the house..

I agree, they just seem 'Dodgy' to me.

I know what you mean, was there reports of another teenage girl in the house at the time? perhaps he panicked and done something to Tia.. I hope not though.

What I'm wondering is if she's dead, where is the body? They have done searches of the woods, bins etc.

Yeah same, it just doesnt add up? , I really am praying its just another Shannon Matthews case though, I see the Sun now have it on the front page.. its about time as well. Sickening that the Olympics was put above a missing child!

Te granddad made some really weird comments about a £10 note he gave. Like he was more bothered about that than her.

brummytom · 10-08-2012 02:12PM

I've found the whole thing strange. The mom doing a runner is very odd. I'd have thought that if your daughter was missing, you'd want to stay at home?

Also, the fact that the 'Step-Grandad' used to go out with the girl's mom, and now goes out with her gran. Just a strange set-up.

girl in the striped socks · 10-08-2012 02:33PM

This story has Jeremy Kyle written all over it.

I know it's a terrible thing to say but I reckon she could be dead at this stage. I really hope I'm wrong.

barry711 · 10-08-2012 02:45PM

I'd say that "granda" did it. Based on his age, and his previous convictions and that rather strange comment he made "We all have shady pasts...but I didn't hurt Tia"

yeah, my heart sank when I saw them taking the bedlinens from the house. Thats a bad sign if they are looking for bodily fluids or traces of different dna, I would assume.

Old legal term ringing true here. " Before you search the outlaws, search the In-laws".

His age?
What does that indicate to you?
Hard to say what happened but weird things to base his guilt on. They all sound dodgy
In some social circles it would be normal to have convictions and therefor think everybody lives like that.
