Police have found a body in the search for missing 12 yr old Tia Sharpe, the body was found today, a week after the girl went missing. The place that they have found it beggars belief, it's been found in the grandmothers house, and the police are now looking for her toy boy. Echoes of Shannon Docherty.

Dreadful......do you mean Shannon Matthews?

Weeze

I presume so as Shannon Docherty was that one out of Charmed.

Up to date news can be found on twitter @savageldn. So sad.

But didn't we all think it was the toy boy from the get go!!

I certainly did, well at least was certain it was someone in the family or very close to them, particularly as they found no CCTV record of her going where she was supposed to have. Given the situation the most obvious suspect was the toy boy.

No you haven't How absolutely bloody awful I'm a bit confused by the behaviour of the mother, I've seen no pics or statements of/by her and now the Beeb article says the grandmother doesn't know where she is as she's in bit and has gone away I do hope the child was not held captive or terrified before the murder. Just fricking horrible.

I see the Police have cocked up their search AGAIN ! ( and had to apologise to the family !! ) they couldn't detect a hole in a paperbag nowadays.

I know they cocked up but there's only one apology the mum needs and it ain't from the police. Not that it would help in any way shape or form.

Terribly sad... And "as usual" very odd.... Its shocking how often grieving family members make heart felt pleas to the media and turn out to be the one that is charged with commiting the murder...

I'm sure the video tape of any appeal to the public by anyone who may be involved prooves pretty valuable to the investigation... There is a lot of subtle information given off during it.. Body language... Are they reacting to the circumstances appropriately..

Ok.. I read too many true crime books....

The officers involved in the search will be beating themselves up more than any investigation could/would..... I wouldnt be hounding them....

And I really suspect that it would have made no difference to the outcome, she would have been dead before the police were called.
