[Mr Gray]

I don't recall saying I was in Colombia so what makes you think I was ?
Brietta posted that all sceptics think Portugal is idyllic. I then said that in comparison to some places it is.

I think you are being very patronising to uk travellers  in general...I think its quite reasonable to expect a MW resort in Portugal to be idyllic.... The mccans were caught totally off guard... Again if we are in places like Kashmir... The most dangerous place i have been.... We are far more careful

I was hoping to travel overland to Ladakh but was advised the Kargil to Leh highway was just too dangerous... I dont think it would have made any difference if i had taken my mother

Was Luz bought by Mark Warner? I thought they just purchased the Ocean Club.

No MW just owned the ocean club where the mccanns stayed

To be precise Mark Warner owned various plots of land within Luz. They didn't own the apartments where the McCanns stayed and had no control over who approached or entered them.

It was advertised as a MW resort so surely its reasonable to describe it as a MW resort

It depends what 'resort' means, I suppose. I see them as enclosed spaces.

Not sure this is the right place, but an interesting concept of child care.

The body was found about 11 a.m. in a culvert near East Spring Valley and South Bowser roads, east of U.S. Highway 75, with the help of search dogs.

Sherin Mathews: US police find body in missing child case

Police in Texas say they have found a body in the search for three-year-old Sherin Mathews, who went missing on 7 October when her father sent her out of their home at 03:00 as punishment.
The Richardson police department told reporters the remains were "most likely" those of Sherin, whose disappearance made headlines in Dallas and India.
The Indian-origin couple adopted the girl two years ago from an Indian orphanage.
Police have not given any details of how she may have died.

The body was found in a tunnel about half a mile from her home on Sunday. The area is being "treated as a crime scene", police said.

The Press Trust of India news agency reported that an identification process was under way, but police said they had "no reason" to believe the body was of any other child.

Sherin's father, Wesley Mathews, was arrested and released on bail after admitting to endangering her life after sending her out of the home at 03:00 because she had refused to finish her milk.

Her mother was reportedly asleep when the incident took place.
The couple have another four-year-old daughter, who has been placed in foster care after the incident.

Mr Mathews told the police that his daughter, who had developmental disabilities and limited vocabulary skills, had to be fed often as she was severely malnourished, and he had acted out of "frustration".
He said he had found she was missing after going to check on her 15 minutes later. He told the police he had returned to the house and "did a load of laundry" as he was not too worried.

He reported the disappearance only after sunrise.

Police had previously told reporters that both the parents had "stopped co-operating" with the investigation, although the mother has not been charged.

Not sure what time sunrise would be in Texas, but but presumably a few hours after 3 am.
Why did he wait so long ? Did he think she was going to come wandering back on her own?
I wonder what he laundered that had to be done at that time in  the morning?

Good point jassi

Fancy locking a three year old out.  Especially at that time in the night.

Beast.
