Missing 5-year-old April Jones still hasn't been found as officials continue to interview the man believed to have abducted her. This case is now two days old with the chances of finding the missing child dwindling more and more with each hour that passes -- as it is well established that the first 48 to 72 hours are the most vital. Is the lack of discovery of this missing child a sign of something sinister?
The parents of little April have issued several pleas with the public, including personal information such as the missing child's medical conditions. April Jones suffers from cerebral palsy, which makes finding her all the more urgent.
As for the man who allegedly kidnapped the little girl, images of him have been released as has his name. 46-year-old Mark Bridger is currently being held on suspicion of abducting the child, and witnesses who were playing with the girl have specifically said that she got into a blue Land Rover Discovery driven by the man. When another child begged Jones not to go with Bridger, she declared that it was okay, that "she knew him."
From the looks of Bridger's mugshot, his expression doesn't reveal much as far as emotions or thoughts go. His facial expression, if anything, indicates a smug nature. Perhaps he doesn't feel that they are going to find the missing child. That's probably right, considering she still hasn't been found while officials continue to search a several-mile radius. He couldn't have had that much time to hide her somewhere, so she can't be that far. Where is she?
