Found Alive Australia - CC, 3, Bundaberg QLD, 10 April 2014 - #1

Oh no I hope she is found safe... can't help getting a Mikael Kular vibe here, maybe it's just similarities in age, had been sick, abnormal sleeping situation, and the hand print/foot print. Please let my gut be wrong!

In the video of the father the reporter says she was not sleeping in her room that night. So she must have a bedroom :/

I don't suppose we have scanners we can listen into here in Australia??

It's getting confusing isn't it? I think reporters make a lot of assumptions along the way - there are inconsistencies even though we know so few details. Bedroom window or lounge room, Chloe has a bedroom or not, grey blanket or sleeping bag etc??

Thanks Amee - finally got to see it on the link from nine. Seeing the window and car from different angles in that clip, it is definitely much lower to the ground than it appeared in that earlier pic. I don't think anyone would have trouble clambering up and in that window at all. It could be a bedroom window (the reporters at the news desk in that clip from this evening still mentioned bedroom window I noticed) and an intruder happened to access the house there to pass through the bedroom and into the living room.

If that is the case, that would have to be a very brazen intruder. With so many young children in the house, and a baby likely to be keeping his parents up at night, there could easily have been someone up and about in the house at any point in the night - and if he/she was known to the family, they'd know that too.

And if there were 3 children asleep in the lounge room, then its a scary thought that an adult can remove one without the other two waking up - and indeed the abducted child not making any noise at all.

Shame the car wasn't alarmed, as that would have surely gone off if an adult was climbing on its roof, unless the suspected intruder knew it didn't have one (as per the father saying he thinks it is someone known to them).

I'm looking at an ipad app called Australian Police Scanners right now ...

 

[Froglady]

No go on the scanner front from here can't pick up specific channels

The odds of someone who knows the family, climbing in or out through a high window, on the one night the window is open seem very remote, especially when there were two other children in the room.
Someone I knew would be the last person I'd suspect if my child was missing.

Chloe, who usually sleeps in the lounge,

Chloe’s two older sisters Janae, eight, and Britney, five, have their own room in the two-bedroom Childers house.

But on Wednesday all three girls slept in the lounge.

Just seen this, how awful three yrs old? Scary.
I wonder if someone got in through the window looking to rob the house, then seen the sleeping children and his plan changed? I don't know, just thinking different possibilities .

I do think it would be difficult to remove a child,sleeping bag as well, and yourself through that window without making any sound to alert the sleeping girls?
I can carry my 7yr old asleep, from the sofa upstairs to her bedroom and place her on the top bunk, without her waking, sometimes she opens her eyes, but she's not 'awake'.

I would think it's quite rare for an abducter to use window into lounge area, there's more chance of someone awake in that room than a bedroom early in the morning! X
Praying she's found safe soon

all I can say that in a town that size where everyone would literally know everyone I find it astonishing that someone in the middle of the night got onto a car into a window without anyone seeing anything............does no one have dogs that would bark???

I have lived in a house just like this, a little miners cottage and have been in many....normally they have a verandah on the front that could have been built in and the lounge then comes of it and the bedrooms are down one side and a kitchen along the back, or there is a hallway that runs through the middle with maybe a bedroom on either side and kitchen at the back.............

so if it is the front window, which is what it looks like, then that probably is the lounge room at the front........just thinking aloud....

I hope she is found ok, but this is looking very scary for the poor little sweetheart.

Do we know if the car in the picture was actually in that position on the night?
Maybe it had been parked closer to the house. JMOO

Also maybe entered by the window but let themselves out the door, lock it behind them.
Easier than climbing out a window with a 3 year old

O/T when I was young there were 6 kids in a two bedroomed house. Then my father had an extra room built on.
Back in those days 2 bedroom homes were the norm.

Yes I would like to know if the car is parked there every night? Or is it usually parked somewhere else?

That is the same theory put forward for Madeline McCann's disappearance. However, I've never seen a single comment from a member of the public believing that is what happened.

Off topic I know, but the explanation immediately reminded me of that case.

But Chloe didn't have a bedroom????

I'm not sure why he thinks it must be someone the family knew because she was in the lounge with her sisters, rather than in a room all by herself? Surely a child is easier to abduct from their bedroom - not in a room with another 2 children who could easily wake up. And the lounge would have been harder to access, seeing as it didn't have an open window. So the "abductor" must have had to have walked through the house ... but then left through the window by jumping onto a car with Chloe, rather than just going out of the window? Or am I missing something here.

I'm very confused with this one. The first reports were all stating that Chloe was taken from "her bedroom". The window of "her bedroom" was left open. A car was parked "beneath her bedroom". As it is now obvious that such a room didn't exist, why was this information allowed to be published as fact, and used by the police in their search for Chloe. Even if it was a mistake the first time, surely one of the family would have immediately corrected it.

This bit also caught my attention. "He said he could not help but think of the Daniel Morcombe case"? Daniel was a teenager, Chloe is a 3 year old girl. Daniel was abducted in broad daylight from a bus stop, Chloe has gone missing from her house. I can't see the connection at all? Unless he thinks the ending is going to be the same, that she will be found deceased? Maybe its just me, but it seems a strange connection to make.

All MOO.

^Agree with all of the above, which has very helpfully saved me from typing more! The story definitely doesn't add up.

There are definitely inconsistencies but that is pretty common with the Australian media when they're all rushing to be the first with breaking news.

Hoping this is the case and the discrepancies will be ironed out quickly.

Same. I really hope I'm wrong about that and just being an old cynic as usual.

If the father suspects it was someone they knew, I wonder if he has pointed the finger at anyone in particular. Surely when saying that, you'd have some suggestions in mind of certain people who would know specifically where the children would be.

I desperately want to see the orange "found safe" title against this thread

BBM - Indeed. They may know very well who has done this. They may have been receiving threats.

This right from the get go was reported as an abduction. Not suspected abduction or simply missing, but an actual abduction!
