News outlets are reporting that that police in Sydney are looking to find the source of six cash payments of $500 and $600 made to Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith in the weeks leading up to Kiesha’s disappearance.

This is an interesting twist in the case. If the news stories are true, everyone will be questioning if Kiesha’s mum and step-dad sold their daughter in exchange for money. Could she have been sold into the sex trade?

It’s horrible to think about.

7 News Australia video clip

Kristi Abrahams’ behavior in this video is remarkable. Here is a woman who tells us that it is too much for her to care for her two children and search for her missing daughter. Yet look at how lighthearted she is in front of the camera. She smiles as she holds her son and points out the camera to her little girl. She certainly doesn’t appear to be overwhelmed, does she?

Kristi then goes on to complain how she can’t even take her kids to the park or even go to a shop to buy bread or milk. Kristi is asked why and she replies, “Because people are judging us.” Obviously Kristi feels it is not too much to go to the store or the park, she just simply can’t do it because she is being judged. She is so inconsistent, she doesn’t even see it. If she can take her kids to the store or the park, she can take them out and organize searches for her daughter, or pass out buttons, fliers, t-shirts, etc.

Worse, if you notice, this is all about Kristi and not about Kiesha. It’s horrifying to watch Kristi in this video.

Of the two people here, Kristi is much more lighthearted than Robert. He seems to be bearing a huge weight on his shoulders, where Kristi doesn’t not. Yet she is the biological parent. That is quite noteworthy in of itself.

The police spokesperson said at the end, “I think you’ve got to expect the worst.” I see nothing at this point that gives me hope, sadly. I have doubted that these parents are telling us all they know, and I have doubted have since the first time I saw them speak to the media.
