Search for missing 6yo girl suspended
Updated Sun Aug 1, 2010 11:04pm AEST
Police have suspended their search for a six-year-old girl who went missing from her home in Sydney's west.
Kiesha Abraham's mother says she put her daughter to bed at about 9:30pm (AEST) on Saturday night, but when she checked her room this morning she was gone.
Police Inspector David Legats says the girl's mother found the unit door unlocked when she went to check on her about 10:00am on Sunday and discovered she was missing.
Police will will resume their search at first light, and say they hold grave fears for the safety of the girl.
Inspector Legats said 100 police and SES volunteers were scouring the neighbourhood on Sunday.
"It's a standard search, very comprehensive. We're searching rear yards, premises, park lands, anywhere where someone may have gone or wandered off.
"We've got a number of personnel here to cover all those but no result so far."
It is unclear whether the girl wandered off alone or was taken.
But Inspector Legats says there were no signs of forced entry at the unit and there are no suspects at this stage.

Missing girl had been absent from school
Updated Mon Aug 2, 2010 4:24pm AEST
A six-year-old girl at the centre of a major police search in western Sydney has not been at school for at least a week .
Her stepfather's brother, Jason Smith, says he saw her a few weeks ago at a birthday party when the missing girl's mother had just given birth to her third child.
"As far as I know she hasn't been at school for the last week because of the newborn baby," he said.
"Last time I seen her was three weeks ago at my brother's, his son's birthday party. She was there, she was quite happy, enjoying the pony rides. She was a happy little girl that day ."

Strange time considering there was a newborn in the home at the time.
140 cm is very tall for a 6 six yr old, blonde when younger but by photo she seems to have more brown hair.
I haven’t been able to find further sources (maybe they are in videos) regarding schooling which later was disclosed that Kiesha had only attended for five (5) days for the entire year.

Fourth day of searching for missing Kiesha
Updated Wed Aug 4, 2010 9:18am AEST
Kiesha's grandfather Rodney Jones says he has talked to her mother about what could have happened to her.
"She's just told me that Kiesha, the units where she lives, there's always all these stray cats and she likes playing with them and she thinks Kiesha's got up [and] gone out to find a cat," he said.
"And I think someone's got her from there."
Police say Kiesha has not been at school and has not been seen by anyone else since early July, when her baby brother was born.

Three weeks is a long time for no one else to have seen her, usually visitors when there is a new baby health workers etc.
Hmmm, that kind of puts off the theory that she just wandered out during the NIGHT.
Mother straight away talks about Kiesha in the past tense.
Step-father talks in present tense.
Kristi told her father, suggests he didn’t know much about his granddaughter.
Again he is stating what Kristi thinks not what he thinks.
Kristi’s father was not able to bring anything of his own thoughts to the situation.
Kiesha was last seen wearing pink pyjamas and has blonde hair and blue eyes.
Anyone who has information on her whereabouts can contact police via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Updated Wed Aug 4, 2010 12:42pm AEST
Yesterday police had a team of 70 officers and SES volunteers looking for Kiesha Abrahams, who disappeared from her Mount Druitt home.

The search had been focusing on Whalan Reserve, but it has now moved to the nearby suburb of Bidwill.
Kiesha Abrahams was known to the Department of Community Services (DoCS), but police will not provide details beyond saying that they are looking at welfare reports.
The Premier Kristina Keneally has also refused to comment on DoCS' involvement with the girl and her family.
"Right now the absolute priority is the work of the police who are carrying out an extensive search for a missing child," she said.
"This is a very concerning situation. The police and their work is the absolute priority right now."

"They need to stop judging me. They don't know me. "
Ms Abrahams described her daughter as a happy girl.
"She was funny, she was always happy, she loved animals, she loved macaroni and cheese, she loved her sister and her brother," she said .
Kiesha Abraham's biological father Chris Weippeart also spoke to Channel Seven, saying the situation was breaking his heart.
"I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best," he said.
Mount Druitt Police last night interviewed Kiesha's mother, father and stepfather for several hours in an effort to work out where the child has been.
The trio left the police station just before 10:00pm (AEST).
Police say they will today review all the information they have gathered so far and are looking at Kiesha's school attendance and welfare reports.
Today divers and officers are searching creeks and waterways for clues.
Police wont say where they are searching, citing operational reasons but it is understood they have not moved away from the local area.
Officers from Strike Force Jarocin, the State Emergency Service and the Rural Fire Service have all been involved in the five-day search for the girl.

Police say Kiesha's parents are suspects
Updated Sun Aug 8, 2010 12:37pm AEST
Police investigating the disappearance of six-year-old western Sydney girl Kiesha Abrahams say her immediate family are all being treated as suspects.
It is a week today since the girl's mother reported her missing from their Mount Druitt home.
Detectives have interviewed the girl's mother, stepfather and father, who have all denied involvement in her disappearance.
But Inspector Oxford says everyone is being considered a suspect at this stage.
The girl's mother and stepfather have been living in a nearby hotel, which he also questioned the wisdom of.
"I wonder if Kiesha happens to walk home, and who's there to wait for her?" he said.
Inspector Oxford says they are not giving up yet but he believes there is little hope of finding her alive.
"I still entertain a hope but you've got to be realistic," he said.
"After all this time if she's a young six-year-old girl by herself, where has she gone and has she perished somewhere?"

Police have not confirmed Robert’s statements.
First time Robert is heard speaking in the past tense.
I haven’t found anything yet to confirm or deny this.
Very strange, and particularly when the police disagree with the wisdom of this.
