Remember the Shannon Matthews case, back in 08, this is a scenario that could also be a possibility.
If you google, kidnapped Shannon Matthews, you will get the story, for those who don't remember.
I remember that, Jo. Shannon's mother planned her kidnapped as a way to get money and publicity. She loved the attention. It was less than a year after Madeleine McCann was kidnapped and Shannon's extended 'family' even solicitied money from the McCann's. Shannon was found 3 weeks (IIRC) later hidden inside a sofa bed in her mother's live-in boyfriend's uncle flat. He apparently had deviant reasons for participating in the kidnapping with the mother. In this case, Celina's immediate family has done the opposite. They've avoided the media and haven't been soliciting money.
The fact that Shannon was found alive after 3 weeks was astounding and gives me some hope that Celina may be recovered alive. Thanks for that little ray of hope, Jo!
