That info about Cassandra is interesting. Thinking totally outside the square here, and no doubt it is only sloppy reporting, or I am reading it wrong, but they say Cassandra went missing with her parents in 1978, yet the mother didn't say she was killed until 1982. That's 4 years. What if she wasn't killed at 8 months, but it was closer to the time the mother reported it? It doesn't say when the mother said she was killed, so like I said it may just be the way it is reported.
The police in Angels case have guessed at the timelines on when she was killed, based on the clothing in the suitcase. Is that the only evidence they have, as to her age/date of death? Have they tested the remains to determine the age?
What if it were her, if she did in fact disappear those few years later? And what if 60 yr old man was the father, putting the past to rest? But wouldn't he just tell someone where to find her? Unless he was scared of more jail time?
Probably totally wrong. But you do have to think of every possibility.
At least with the police doing the database matching, they are looking at other kids welfare as well, and that is only a good thing.
@dogface - it is very hard for anyone in the world not to have heard of budgie smugglers, when we have a prime minister who insists on wearing them lol.
