Missing 12 year old girl

[Patti]

Tia Sharp has been missing for nearly a week and still no sign of her. I do hope someone finds her alive and safe...

This is an interview with Mark Williams Thomas...with Tia's step Grandfather at the family home.

Been following this story.  I feel unsettled by the changing story from the Step-Grandad.

Lets hope Tia is out there alive and will be home safely soon.

I think it will be nearer to home. [could be quite wrong].

Yes, I agree Buddy, these things are, more often than not.

the story might not be changing some papers may just have got in wrong in the first place.

No, the story changed. The Grandmother said that she got it wrong originally.

[Buddy]

The stepfather seemed upset!

Odd business.  There's a bit too much media attention on the family.  Normally there would be some of course.

I know this is headline news, but i havent been taking much notice to be honest. The girl is still missing i take it? Are the family suspected, or dont we know?

It would be wrong to accuse the family members of anything untoward but there's a rat away somewhere.

The media always seem to send out signs of what they are thinking, without actually saying it. For example recently with that family who were killed when petrol was poured through their letter box. The Daily Mail was hinting for days and days that they suspected the Father......then boom! He was arrested and charged - of course though the Daily Mail didn't come out with it and say it before the arrest, they knew though.

In this case - they really seem to be hinting over and over about the step-grandad.

i think its a bit to early to around suspecting anybody of anything.

its only been she may turn up soon.

[Janet]

they do seem to be focusing on the step grand dad in the news. Even letting him speak to reporters including TV. They appear to be watching him in a very public way.  Would be nice to be wrong about the suspicions people have about him but some how I think we might be hearing of charges in the near future.

Agreed, sadly.
I will still keep hoping she's okay though. A week is a long time.

well somebody from the family has to speak to the reporters maybe the parents are to upset.

but of course the family would want to keep it in the news more chance of finding her.
