Will be responding to what 'he' tells us and what people in community have told us, and will direct searches based on that.

 

[Dafne]

police are going to be working throughout the night.

 

[sweetsavi]

Oooh, It hurts me so bad to think of her out there all alone 2 nights in a row. At 5 years old, I hope she might have enough survival instinct to stay away from water and other harmful things long enough to be found.

 

[gregjrichards]

Is this what they are looking for?
<modsnip>

Hi no that is a Range Rover a land rover is smaller and less expensive.

 

[Dafne]

Police confirmed that the vehicle they are testing is a Land Rover Discovery, mid-1990s model, L-reg and left-hand drive.

Kimster, earlier he mentioned a landrover defender 90, saying they might be looking for a car similar to that.

I'm confused - that makes 3 vehicles doesn't it?

 

[Redgoblin]

Mah-Cunth-Lith - That is how I would say it.

I'm confused too!

I'll delete the image above so it doesn't add to the problem.

 

[sweetsavi]

Has there been any indication yet as to whether he has ever been violent in the past?

I just hope he has her inside if she is still alive. It's going to be a very long night for her parents. Thanks to everyone posting live updates!
