I know what media appeals are all about in missing persons cases. Especially when they concern missing children. McKenna told me it would help to publicise Ellie’s disappearance and ensure that people kept an eye out in case they saw her or had any information as to where she was. That’s all bullshit, though. Most people couldn’t tell one five-year-old from another.
There’s only one real reason why they do national media appeals when children go missing: it’s because they’ve got a suspect. And not only do they have a suspect, but they have a suspect sitting behind the desk doing the media appeal.
That’s why there’ll always be the random uncle, grandparent or family friend doing the media appeal with the parents. They want to see how their suspect reacts in front of a camera. Whe
