'She is wearing yellow pants with love hearts on them and a white-coloured shirt with butterflies and bees pictured on the front.

'Chloe could also be carrying a blue soft toy and a grey blanket.'

Melissa Small, a 'close family friend' of the Campbells, told News Corp the toddler's window was left open and that alarm bells were raised when her parents discovered she wasn't in her bed this morning.
'The parents put the kids to bed last night. They went to sleep about one o’clock in the morning after watching TV. They have woken up at seven o’clock and (Chloe) was not in her bed,' she told reporters.

It will be interesting to see how this new case turns out.

There’s a footprint on the roof of the car to get through to the window.
'The window was open and her blanket and teddy bear, a grey blanket and a blue teddy bear, has been taken with her.'

I had a look at the photo with the car underneath the window. Seems to me difficult to get access that way and impossible to exit with a child in your arms. If there is indeed an unexplained footprint on that car roof, I can only imagine someone being HANDED something from that window ...

"Chloe’s two older sisters Janae, eight, and Britney, five, have their own room in the two-bedroom Childers house.
But on Wednesday all three girls slept in the lounge.
When Janae awoke to go to the toilet in the morning, Chloe wasn’t in the lounge room, Mr Campbell said.
Janae had thought Chloe had sneaked into her parent’s room as she had been sick lately.
A distraught Mr Campbell believes that someone who knew where Chloe slept took her.
‘‘I think it’s got to be someone who knows me, in how they got in, where she sleeps,’’ Mr Campbell said.
‘‘They knew she was sleeping in front of the TV.’’
Mr Campbell is asking for prayers and is clinging to hope that if Chloe’s been abducted, she is being cared for.
‘‘I hope someone that’s taken her is looking after her,’’ he said.
‘‘Giving her brekky, lunch, I don’t know, I don’t know what to think.
‘‘Maybe someone took her who can’t have kids or something like that.’’

This is reminding me of the recent Mikaeel Kular case with the unusual sleeping arrangements. Thinking it must be someone who knew the family would narrow it down a lot if that's true? If the father is saying it was someone who new the girls were all in the lounge, then it must be someone he knows, so who exactly does he know that would know this detail?

The father said they usually lock all the windows but this one night it mustn't have shut properly. So we have a similarity to the McCann case, a convenient open window....also the 'nice' abductor looking after her somewhere. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think you're wrong ChippyM

Nothing IMO

The answers to this case looks close to home in one way or another.

Video of the dad making an appeal. Sorry to say it looks just like the 'distraught' Maread Philpott, who kept putting her head down whilst 'crying' but had completely dry eyes.

With this case, the timeline makes kidnapping a possibility. For an explanation to be plausible, it doesn't necessarily have to be probable, it can even been improbable, but at the very least, it has to be physically possible.

Whoever took her apparently took her sleeping bag too...

didn't take long before Madeleine is mention within another kidnap case

- ''was gone as well as her trusty companion, a stuffed toy dog named Gnarly.''

They obviously learnt from the McCann's 'deliberate' mistake.

Maybe but did you watch the video? I don't see how many people could look at that and say he's telling the whole story!

I entirely agree, I was merely stating that in this case, the timeline makes kidnapping a possibility, as opposed to that in the case of the McCann's daughter, not that I necessarily believe this to be the case. I don't know the full facts, merely media clippings, which bear as much relation to reality as retail shop prices to actual values.

If the Australian police ever get around to arresting and charging the parents, the silence from the McCanns will be deafening. big grin

Enter that way but can exit from the door once inside.
The red flag for me is she was sleeping in front of the TV that night, not in her usual room.
It has got to be someone who knew that.

by suzyjohnson 10.04.14 14:13

1) How could someone get into one of those windows without disturbing the three children in the lounge?

2) The parents were awake until 1 am, but they wouldn't have been watching tv as they would have disturbed the 3 children sleeping in the lounge, so where were they, upstairs in their bedroom?

3) If it is a two bedroomed house, and the two elder sisters share one room, and presumably the parents have the other room? then the missing girl (who didn't usually sleep in the lounge) must have slept in her parents bedroom? Except for the night she went missing.

4) How many people would know, that for this night only, the girls were sleeping in the lounge?

by **PeterMac** 10.04.14 14:17

Describing the girl as his "Best friend" ?
Weeping without tears ?
Artifically broken voice ?
Two other older siblings present in the room
"Take her out of her bed " when in fact she was on the sofa (allegedly)
"Believes someone who knew the family" took her.
And only one footprint on the car roof ?

Very strange so far, though this may be an artefact of reporting rather than known facts.
Let us hope it is solved quickly.

I'm afraid that I immediately become sceptical in these cases, having seen the Matthews', Philpotts' and others with their tearful (or in some cases, dry) appeals to the abductors. As has been said, the sad case of wee Kumar laddie springs straight to mind here as there was a change in sleeping arrangements on the night of the abduction. I don't know the size of their house, but if 3 children aged 8, 5 and 3 were in the same room in sleeping bags, the kidnapper would have had to watch his step whilst ensuring the wee toot didn't waken her siblings. It was said that the parents went to bed at 0100 after watching tv, so there was a 6 hour space for abduction. How do these abductors know when is the best time? they ALWAYS seem to time it perfectly.

Be interesting to note if the car was usually left there or had just been left there.

I have to say that the McCs have a lot to answer for as nowadays there is a tendency towards doubt when these crises arise.

by Guest 10.04.14 14:26

Mmmmm... Looks a bit suspect to me but really hope she is found alive and well quickly.

She actually has a slight resemblance to MBM which is uncanny.

If a 'fighting fund' is set up with immediate affect then i think we will know who is responsible for this tragic state of affairs.

by Ashwarya 10.04.14 14:31

Oh dear, the Mail will have to issue a very speedy apology if they have drawn attention to similarities with the McCann case and it turns out it was the parents wot dunnit.

Poor little mite - these stories never add up, and this one certainly doesn't.

Report states all three children were sleeping in the lounge on the night in question.

A one-foot man ! Now that is strange.....

Report did not say who first noticed the footprint, family or Police.

I noticed that too. Unless he means there were beds made up in the living room. He also said 'seriously?! take her out of her bed?' It's similar to the McCann's planting the idea of the abduction and the whole taken through the window story immediately through the media.

"Believes someone who knew the family" took her.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/mar/13/ukcrime1

"The mother of Shannon Matthews, the nine-year-old girl who has not been seen for more than three weeks, said yesterday she believes her daughter was snatched by someone close to the family"

Asked if she thought someone she knew was responsible, she told the BBC: "It seems that way because there's no trace of her at all.

Yesterday Matthews said she believed someone had taken Shannon to hurt her, but added that she had no idea who was responsible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karen Matthews (McCann 'wannabee', 'fund' TV 'sofas' zlebrity etc) had a very good idea who was 'responsible' as evidence at her TRIAL showed!

Having stayed with relatives in Australia, this house looks like a typical open plan bungalow. Where the kitchen and living areas don't have doors but run off one another. The only rooms that have doors are the bedrooms so it would seem very convenient that the older girls were in the living room. Once again a story that doesn't ring true.

The other thing the struck me was how small MBM was compared to the other girl, I know this has been said before but it really struck me in these photos especially the tennis photo where she looks like she still has a nappy on

by MissesWillYa 10.04.14 15:47

I don't like the "change in sleeping arrangements" that seems to be a pattern with these cases. And the abducting one girl among three girls in the room bothers me until I remember the case of Polly Klass in California, who was kidnapped from a room full of little girls having a slumber party. So it has happened, but still...I'll be interested to see what else comes to light.

by sofieellis 10.04.14 17:57

So, she picks on her sisters, is rough and dad always wanted a little boy. 3 girls must be a disappointment then.

I hate that I've turned into such a cynic in these cases. sad1

Hmm. I've heard this before thinking
