Still hope for Maddie as a child found alive 13 years after mysteriously disappearing.

THE hunt for Madeleine McCann has been given renewed hope after another child who has been
missing for years was found alive.

The hunt for McCann has been given renewed hope after Hernandez's recovery.

Julian Hernandez, who went missing when he was just five years old, has been miraculously recovered - but only after he applied to college.

The boy who disappeared in Alabama in 2002 was found thousands of miles away in Cleveland, Ohio living with his father who has since been charged with his abduction.

The case may give hope renewed hope in the hunt for Maddie, who disappeared in 2007 while on holiday in the Algarve region of Portugal.

Last month the hunt for missing Maddie was massively scaled back today after a eight-year long investigation.

The team of 29 British detectives who have been searching for Maddie will be reduced to just four who will focus solely on the child's disapearance.

However, detectives may be encouraged as Julian was missing for even longer than Maddie but still was found alive.

Julian, who is now 18 years old, was found after he struggled to apply for universities after his Social Security number was suddenly rejected.

When he approached a counsellor for help, his school realised that he was listed as a missing child by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

His father, Bobby Hernandez, 53, is currrently being held at a jail in Ohio.

He is expected to face felony charges, including interference with custody, that could send him to prison for one to 10 years.

The FBI became involved and worked alongside Alabama Police to track down the long-missing child and confirm his identity.

Julian Hernandez at the age of 5 and what he might look like today.

Bobby Hernandez, 53, is currently being held at a jail in Ohio.

His mother, who originally reported his missing, has been notified of his recovery.

She is reportedly "ecstatic" to find her son, however it will be up to Julian whether he wants to be reunited.

Lt. Kevin York said Julian Hernandez's mother was happy "but also somewhat hesitant because there had been so many false leads through the years".

He added that because Mr Hernandez is an adult, "it's kind of up to him now as to whether he wants to come back."

He said: "I've been doing this 25 years and its something I've never experienced before.

"That's the reason you never give up and you keep looking."

District Attorney Brandon Falls in Jefferson County, Alabama, said that it is unlikely that the boy even knew he was listed as missing.

The child went missing in August 2002 when his father offered to take him to pre-school.

His father, who did not have custody of his son, allegedly snatched the youngster and changed their last name to Mangina.

He also had withdrew large amounts of cash from his bank accounts and the case was listed as a suspected non-custodial parent abduction.

It does give further credence to the fact that most child abductions involve one or both parents.

Unless K or GM abducted ther own child then I dont see any relevance to this case with that story, unless MM uses her birth name to register for anythng at all, a bit ludicrous to say the least as all alarm bells would be going off!

This case today merely highlights how it is possible to hide a living  missing child in plain sight for 13 years without any suspicions being aroused. It reinforces the reasons for Madeleine's face & case details to be kept alive in the public's minds.

He was taken illegally by his father and was listed as a missing person.  Just because his father was the kidnapper didn't make him safe as there are cases of fathers killing their children on the premise if they can't have them then nobody will.

Should have been easy enough to find ... a known person accompanied by a small boy ... but they weren't.

I think it is indeed relevant to Madeleine's situation.  If this missing child was found ... so might she.

Yup.  13 years of Dad being suspect and Dad getting away with it, and it took a mismatch in social security number to trip him up.

You can be a suspect for 13 years, get away with.  Until Big Brother intrudes.

Now let me see ... Julian Hernandez vanishes with father and despite being on the missing children's register is not seen again for thirteen years.
Julian has been living a 'normal' life for those thirteen years totally unaware that he was a missing person.

Madeleine McCann vanishes and is a missing child who has not been seen since, as far as we know.

With any luck Madeleine too is living a 'normal' life unaware that she is a missing person.

In my opinion there is a definite correlation between both disappearances.

Surely Julian would have been easier to find since it was known who his abductor was.

Since no-one knows who took Madeleine, that makes finding her a more difficult proposition.  However it doesn't mean she should be written off out of hand because an incompetent detective formulated a theory about her disappearance.

What is desperate about hoping a missing child is alive and well ... given proof positive of exactly that situation.

Much preferable than denial of that hope without a shred of supporting evidence.

What kind of person is it who determines a child must be dead because her whereabouts are unknown?

Children abducted by their fathers have been killed by their fathers.  Some paedophiles are fathers.  Quite often courts have good reason when determining guardianship of children.

Julian was abducted by his father.  Madeleine was abducted by person/s unknown.  Both children were the victims of abduction.

Sigh ... if you are not fed up saying it over and over again for I presume the last eight years?? or certainly for as long as I have been aware of your existence, take it from me I am utterly bemused why you feel the need.
There you are then, it takes all sorts.

I'm glad you remembered that Madeleine McCann is the main player in this little drama.  Why you belittle those who hope for the positive outcome Julian's mum has had to the trauma of being deprived of her son throughout his formative years is a mystery.

Julian's whereabouts were unknown until very recently.

No-one knows the whereabouts of Katrice Lee ~ Ben Needham ~ Madeleine McCann.
All three ... British children missing abroad.

If Julian can be found after thirteen years, there is no reason to suppose Katrice, Ben and Madeleine are lost to their families.

They may yet be found.
If you think that is a forlorn hope ... that is for you.  However I don't quite see why you think you have the right to sneer at the hope for the families of these three or any other missing person, epitomised by Julian being found alive and well.

The schools should keep an eye on the missing persons list,  it would have had a picture of him,  he could have been found sooner.

It also keeps hope alive for Madeleine as she too could be going to school undetected.

The thing that struck me was that some little girls who were mistaken for Madeleine had a similar eye defect.  I think one or two looked so like her that they were eliminated by DNA tests.

There is no reason to suppose that the person who stole Madeleine might not have made use of that information.

For example, falsifying results and speaking to the education authorities as a concerned parent whose child was always being mistaken for Madeleine which caused distress.  The school in which the child was enrolled would then be in a position of trust and would protect the child ~ and thus the abductor ~ from all enquiries.

I am not saying this did happen ... but it is a way of getting round the eye defect, which apparently might be less noticeable as she ages, with minimum effort.  Madeleine could therefore be hidden in full view.

Could well Brietta, nothing can be ruled out.

The thing is this boy was living for 13 years without being detected even though he was on the missing children register,   makes you wonder if any of the schools check this register.

To us she isn't as we have taken an extra interest in the case,  but to those who haven't then, they carry on with their lives and Madeleine is left behind.

Anything is possible,   she may be dead she may not be.   Madeleine could be found alive there is no way of telling,   I hope she is.

When the McCann's say there is no evidence that Madeleine has come to harm,  in my opinion they are saying that there is no evidence that she is dead.

I can't see any evidence that she is dead either,  so I agree with what they are saying.

I don't call that nonsense,  he lured a small child away and murdered him and it wasn't the first,   it is good to know the police are checking out every possibility.

Well it seems to me they know what happened to Madeleine but don't know who took her.

Your comment that they are no nearer finding Madeleine is guess work,   they are concentrating on certain paths now that they have made their way through all the paper work.

Ten million is not such a huge amount when you consider how much other missing children investigations have cost.    It is a cold case and they always take longer.

Mysterious disappearance - no it was not , as the father of the boy was babysitting him and also left a note saying he had taken him (see various US press reports)

Found alive after 13 years - there was no suggestion the father took him to kill him, that would be a bit stupid after leaving the note, quite why the mother thought he might be dead is anyones guess

So, not a stranger abduction...the only connection to this case is the idea that she may be found one day but totally the wrong story to tag onto...but the UK papers have form in making very tenuus and sometimes ridiculous links

Sadly, this does not relate to Maddie's case as her's was not a parental abduction. It can only raise false hope. I wish the parents had answered my letter in June 2008, that could have resulted in a rescue. The fact is that nobody was listening, either the help-lines, the parents, or Leicester Police. I had nearly found the place in the spring, but couldn't finish the job due to a major breakdown. A return to the search area would have been over 1000 miles plus the ferry.
Why some support for expenses couldn't be given, when the public had donated millions for the search is something I still cannot understand. I felt at the time they had thrown away their best chance of finding dear Madeleine. I had a strong feeling of urgency.
I have never been wrong when police aren't involved, yet it is they who have effectively blocked their own investigation by ignoring my work. I have emailed all & sundry, written to Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown, (then PM), 'phoned the News of the World, replied to many articles, even emailed the European Police Union.
I can only hope now they will get some proper digging done after wading through all that B.S. It will now be a harder task with tons of earth to shift as the landowner apparently got wind of my discovery.
There are two other 'mysteries' I have the solutions to that have been treated the same way.
Look at it this way, there are people who can do amazing things like composing big orchestral symphonies or hit 'pop' songs; paint beautiful artworks in perfect detail.

Sadly, this does not relate to Maddie's case as her's was not a parental abduction. It can only raise false hope. I wish the parents had answered my letter in June 2008, that could have resulted in a rescue. The fact is that nobody was listening, either the help-lines, the parents, or Leicester Police. I had nearly found the place in the spring, but couldn't finish the job due to a major breakdown. A return to the search area would have been over 1000 miles plus the ferry.
Why some support for expenses couldn't be given, when the public had donated millions for the search is something I still cannot understand. I felt at the time they had thrown away their best chance of finding dear Madeleine. I had a strong feeling of urgency.
I have never been wrong when police aren't involved, yet it is they who have effectively blocked their own investigation by ignoring my work. I have emailed all & sundry, written to Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown, (then PM), 'phoned the News of the World, replied to many articles, even emailed the European Police Union.
I can only hope now they will get some proper digging done after wading through all that B.S. It will now be a harder task with tons of earth to shift as the landowner apparently got wind of my discovery.
There are two other 'mysteries' I have the solutions to that have been treated the same way.
Look at it this way, there are people who can do amazing things like composing big orchestral symphonies or hit 'pop' songs; paint beautiful artworks in perfect detail. I can't do those, but I have a collection of talents which I bring together to find things that others miss.

Hello Adrian, welcome. You are not the first person to say you have been ignored by all these contacts.

You can try contacting the Metropolitan Police, who are now investigating.

In this instance he was neither unsafe nor unwell and not wishing to be too picky he is an adult not a child and according to US reports is supportive of his father.

Have you been following the discussion at all?  If so you appear to have overlooked Mercury's post to which I was responding.

There were no guarantees when Julian was snatched by his father that he would indeed be OK.  There are many cases here in Britain where children have been killed or abused by fathers who have taken them.
Only his father knew he was fine over the thirteen years taken from his extended family maternal and paternal.

If you cannot see the correlation ... there isn't a thing I can do about it ... but I think your problem may be that you actually do see that it is possible that a child whose whereabouts have dropped off the radar for thirteen years can still be found.

I do not have the time to read all posts on here, as I do have other matters to attend to.

However, the bottom line remains, no matter what spin is put on it.

There is no 'correlation' as you put it with this case and Madeleine's disappearance.

Perhaps you should have chosen a thread you hadn't actually commented on before disingenuously denying interest.

This is a five page thread.

To date you have posted on every single one of those pages ... your very first post on page one ... denying any correlation with Madeleine's case.

The whole point of this story being linked to Madeleine is as I said in an earlier post,  this father managed to keep his son hidden for 13 years just by changing his surname.

The school only noticed he was on the Missing Children registrar when he was having difficulties  furthering his education.

Do schools check the missing children registrar?   

Madeleine could be at a school right now,  with a new name and maybe new hair colour.

To:#48, #49, Sorry late reply, got called away. Of course I've contacted Op.Grange (several times!). The discovery was of the actual house [ unconfirmed claim removed ] Later I had met a young German on holiday & described the place. When I returned to the site a year later I had intended removing the logs & digging up the bones (sorry, but there it is), I found they had completely covered the site with tons of earth from a nearby hillock. This makes further investigation impossible without a mechanical digger.
Photographs were taken & sent to S.Y. some time ago. The garden is now unusable as such.

1. Her parents  or one of them have hidded her from the world to bring her back one day safe and alive (another book another story)
2.absolutely nothing at all

I go with no2.

A child is found safe and well living with his dad... end of story. Did the mother or police NEVER think it strange the dad was 'missing' as well? nuhuh.

That matters not a jot.

A young child was moved from where he was located, then hidden in plain sight, and was not found until a bureaucratic check 13 years later revealed the truth.

Madeleine COULD be in a lot of places where no one is looking.

Portugal has strong links to Brazil.  Has anything been done to find Madeleine there?

Interesting, Adrian, but with respect I doubt if the agencies you contacted would be able to act ~ certainly not in Portugal ~ without a bucketload of evidence to back your suspicions up.

I'm a bit doubtful about covering a deposition site by moving a mound of earth onto it ... given the forewarning you think the landowners may have had I think they would just have disinterred bones and dug out the soil and scattered it somewhere else.

I'm not being facetious here even if it is probably not the advice to give, but if you do want to get information out, you could consider writing an ebook naming names and giving background and back-up for what you think may have happened.
