Various missing children cases worldwide - plus the occasional adult

Wasn't sure where to put this one.

This bonkers story has been posted before but I can't find it at the moment.

I know you remember this sad case from here, Freedom :


https://www.radionz.co.nz/programmes/the-lost/story/2018620212/the-lost-kirsa-Jensen



Kirsa Jensen, a 14 year old Napier schoolgirl went missing in 1983 and has never been found.

There's a good radio interview with her mother at the above link.

I don't remember this one at all, Rosa.

We've mentioned this Reported Missing programme somewhere before. There's a new series starting on Monday and one of the cases sounds like something out of a fictional programme - a child reported missing but who may never have existed.

P.S It was on page 14 here.

I've seen the programme now. I can't say too much without giving the ending away but it's certainly a strange case and I don't know how the guilty party got away with it for so long.

A bizarre case which I hadn't heard of before.

Richey shot through to Israel...? Anything's possible, but a Valleys accent is a hard one to hide.



Richey's sister Rachel with Sarah Godwin, mother of Quentin Godwin, who went missing

in Titirangi, Auckland (coincidentally where Grace Millane's body was found in December)

25 years ago. Those mugs are a bit unfortunate...!

The first guy in  the above article - Peter Chaffe - I'd never heard of before -

I tend to think if someone goes missing with their car then they're in a waterway somewhere.

I hadn't realised before that poor missing 'Q' was a Centrepoint commune child (via his father, Henry Stonex)-

- no wonder the poor fellow was not in a good headspace.

An interesting read, Rosa. Thanks for posting. Have you seen my posts about NXIVM? They're also out of Albany - er, New York, that is......

Hello Unreorganised - yes, I've vaguely followed Nxivm through your postings -

- some freaks in there for sure - I think it has all gone a bit quiet lately...?



Beard = no good man, in my books - but what's with the changing eye colours?


Oddly enough (regarding the latest Richey rumour), there is a Jerusalem not far from me :

Famous poet James K Baxter had a commune there in the 1970s :

Absolutely no way Richey'd be hiding out there, though.

Coincidentally I bought this book for $1 at an op shop in Feilding yesterday :

This one doesn't look hopeful particularly in view of the freezing weather.

How is her mother so sure that her daughter made it home?

[quote="Freedom"]A largely forgotten case from 1999 in which two 10-year-old girls disappeared, only 3 years before the Soham girls, but with a very different outcome. /quote]



A reminder of this case 20 years on.

A sad end to the story.

Let's hope that the McCanns hadn't been encouraged by this story before it was found to be a hoax!

50 years on from this unsolved case.

A new programme I think on the mystery of the disappearance of Daniel Entwistle.



P.S. I've just discovered that the presenter is Donal MacIntyre but I will still give the programme a chance!

P.P.S. Daniel disappeared in 2003 which the programme says was 12 years ago so presumably it was made in 2015.

Abducted by a paedophile is the Wondrous One's conclusion. We seem to have heard that somewhere else too. There was no evidence for this other than there were some known paedos in the area, none of whom presumably had ever killed any children.

Daniel's father (who died in 2015) had a conviction in the 1980s relating to an underage girl. Donal said that there were rumours that Daniel was on the at risk register and that he wasn't safe in his own home; again, no proof. I don't believe that the old conviction meant that David was automatically a danger to his own children.

All in all, this was up to Donal's usual standards.

I am trying not to jump to conclusions, honest guv.

Another strange sounding "abducted from bedroom" case.

Before anyone's time this one but shades of something more recent with claims of "stolen by gypsies".

I'm sure we've mentioned Lee Boxell somewhere. Here's a programme from earlier this year about him.

A sad postscript to the Beaumont children case.

smh.com.au/national/mother-of-missing-beaumont-children-dies-aged-92-20190919-p52svt.html

A bizarre case here.

An odd sounding case - worryingly she posted her home address on Facebook yesterday.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fears-estate-agent-23-who-21895277#source=push

P.S. Apparently it's her mother's address.

I'd like to know how it was discovered in the middle of the night that she was missing. Who else, if anyone, lived with her?

I wonder if this will buoy up anyone's hopes about their own missing child..........
