Kiesha’s Step-Dad: Police Think I Did It

On Missing Little Kiesha Abrahams, age 6

ABC News Australia is reporting that Robert Smith, the partner (and step-dad?) of Kristi Abrahams, is saying that the police are pointing their fingers squarely at him. He said they have asked him to lead them to her body, yet he denies killing Kiesha. You can read more on ABC’s website here.

I am not surprised by this, and while I don’t know who is responsible for Kiesha going missing specifically, I do not trust that her mother and partner are being forthright with us. You can read my reviews of their two media interviews here and here.

I don’t think you need to speak Italian to know what he is thinking here, do you?

How unbelievable is that guy?

Great find, Keith!

Kiesha Abrahams Mom Speaks Again

Kiesha Abraham’s mom, Kristi, spoke out to the media again today this time telling the media in a sobbing voice, “They need to stop judging me. They don’t know me.” The video then cuts to a snippet where she reveals her face. She continues and talks about memories of her daughter, “She was funny, she was always happy. She loved animals.”

What strikes me at this point is this is all about Kristi, and not about finding her daughter. Most mothers would careless about the finger being pointed at them by the public, if they know they are innocent. They wouldn’t get weepy–instead they would be crusading to find their daughter at all costs, and mad that the public has it wrong — that they must find the little girl, but this is eerily missing from Kristi.

Why isn’t she showing us more photos of Kiesha, trying to get the public to help find her daughter? Why isn’t she encouraging people to search for her? Is she searching herself or organizing searches? Or is she just feeling sorry for herself at her daughter’s expense?

Furthermore, why isn’t she talking directly to her daughter in case she is out there? Why isn’t she being strong for her, if she believes she was abducted and still could be alive? At six years old, Kiesha would certainly understand her. Her lack of hope is just very odd and usual.

CBS Says Smoking Baby Real

I had not seen this viral video, but I was shocked by this story. Are you?

Do you notice the little boy’s demeanor is very reminiscent of a much older man?

Update 8/5/2010: After giving this some thought, I wonder if this little boy has a disease that makes him look younger than he actually is.
