The tangled ties between Mark Bridger and April Jones
Mark Bridger, 46, is the uncle of the little girl’s two half sisters.
Detectives looking at the complex relationships of Mr Bridger’s past, discovered that he had fathered two children with a woman called Elaine Griffiths. Mr Bridger and Elaine had Connor and Sophie in the 1990s.
Around the same time, Elaine’s sister Karen had two daughters - Hazel and Abby - with April’s father Paul Jones. He subsequently married April’s mother, Coral.
The connection means that Mr Bridger’s children are cousins to April’s half sisters.
Abby, Hazel, Connor and Sophie all took part in the search for the little girl who went missing last Monday evening from close to her home in Machynlleth, Mid Wales.

April Jones News Update: Machynlleth Town Clock Lit In Pink To Mark Third Week Since Disappearance
In an effort to highlight the diappearance of April Jones three weeks ago, the town clock in the five-year-old's home town of Machynlleth was lit up in pink at 7pm on Monday - the time she went missing.
Pink was chosen as it was the youngster's favourite colour. Facebook support groups are also urging villagers to wear pink ribbons and April's parents have even had them tattooed on their bodies as life-long reminders.

Missing 5-year-old's parents thank public one month on
The parents of missing five-year-old April Jones thanked the police and public for their support Thursday, a month after she disappeared from the market town of Machynlleth in mid-Wales.

Facebook user avoids jail over April Jones comments
A sales adviser who made a series of depraved sexual comments about five-year-old April Jones on Facebook has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Magistrates in Worcester chose not to jail Sam Busby despite being told that another Facebook user was sentenced to three months in prison for an "almost identical" offence last month.
Busby, 18, was arrested after posting offensive remarks on the site on the day a man was charged with April's murder, five days after her disappearance in Machynlleth, mid-Wales.
