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

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.

Oh my god :eek: Hopefully it's not her Not looking good though

Temaz

Horrible. Can only imagine what that poor kid went through.

girl in the striped socks

One of the news reports I read had granny speaking about her in the past tense. I found that very strange.

Anyway my assumptions won't make a blind bit of difference.
Rip.

westies4ever

oh god, I actually feel sick now; poor poor child.

Vicar in a tutu

Ah god:(:(:( That's heartbreaking:( RIP Tia:(

If the body has been there since last friday how on earth wasn't it found yet? ALso why were dogs only used now. She may well have never left the house

mike65

quelle surprise!

It certainly appears that she never left the house given no reliable witnesses and no cctv trace of her. i think the cops have known all along and were just giving those involved 'enough rope'.

what a horrible situation. that scumbag was alone with her for 48hrs by all accounts. God knows what the child went through.

Sky news- step grandfather gone missing. People warned not to approach him

Probably didn't get a warrant until now to search the house

Temaz

Speechless at this.

Lapin

Very sad.

Vicar in a tutu

Such a beautiful little girl , It must be heartbreaking for her parents thinking they could trust that monster with their little girl.:( My heart goes out to the family.

cgpg5

About exactly ten years on from Soham. Freaky. Both the most tragic of endings terrible stuff...

mike65

The lack of CCTV should have been enough to make anyone suspicious - urban UK is under 24 hr surveillance no one can avoid a camera of some sort.

SweetCaliber

What about the grandma? Surely she knew if there was a body in the house, she has a lot to answer for Such a tradegy.

fox_1973

Just cant believe what im reading now, like most of the mosts here, I had a sinking feeling it was the 'step-grandad' from day 1, god love the poor girl, how on earth did they think they were going to get away with it, saying she had gone shopping....Im just hoping now that not everyone was invloved and the rest of the family believed she had gone missing

Amalgam

Not carrying the phone was just too convenient. Everyone knows how much teens love their phones.

Like fox_1973 above, once I heard the grandmother had a 'partner'..

johndoe99

said on Sky News that they had Stuart Hazell down as a possible suspect, so they went to the house to do forensics and found the body. How come if they had him as a suspect were they not watching him so he would not flee.

Vicar in a tutu

You can almost hear the resentment in his voice and how he speaks about her here...

hoochis

Im surprised they do not know the whereabouts of the step grandfather! Would have thought the police would have kept track of his movements!

westies4ever

Cant watch that; cant even look at that lowlife right now :mad:

leahyl

Jesus Christ shocking stuff - poor poor girl. How in gods name did he think he was gonna get away with that?

Amalgam

He'll get lynched\mobbed. He might be safer in custody.

brummytom

So are the mother and step-grandad both missing, with nothing known about either of their whereabouts? And they used to be a couple?


Right.

Hopefully.

Wonder if the guy will top himself before the police can get to him.

It's what usually happens. I reckon he will jump in front of a train.

johndoe99

that video literally sent shivers through me.

I know they say innocent until proven guilty, but he states in that video she left the house and he never saw her again, yet she's found in the house and her body had been there 6 days.

I hope he's found alive, a suicide is to good for him.

St.Spodo

The way he justifies her not taking her phone out with her is very dodgy in that video. I can't believe he thought he could get away with it, and I don't know how he kept up the facade for a week. What a scumbag. I hope he doesn't top himself before he's brought to justice.

SweetCaliber

Still though they say they aren't aresting anyone yet but like they found a body in the grandmothers house, wether or not it's the girls it's still a body.

There is a search being carried out for the step grandfather though. He will obviously be arrested when found

Jesus. It's like an educational video about how to be a bad liar. He won't make eye contact at all when telling his story about what they did when she stayed over, and then regains confidence when telling half truths to flesh out his story. You'd only hope that something happened for him to make a flash decision to do it and it was quick at least. That poor little girl.

cgpg5

Wonder could it be a hostage attempt gone wrong. Tried something similar to Shannon Matthews or something.

Either way this is just dreadful stuff

What's not right about the situation is that Usain Bolt being able to run fast is aparently more signifigant 'news'. It's absolutely disgusting how little attention this is being given

You're obviously not watching Sky News.

Its the only story they're covering.

mike65

Sky News have been on the case to be fair - they love this sort of thing.

So so sad! Why was the poor girl left with him alone for so long??
