Very very sad.

Such sad news. I hope that her suffering was short lived.

R.I.P. Tia

Just saddened to my bones ...poor girl just didn't stand a chance x

RIP Tia x <3

Well,,,,,,,just as I expected,,

Bloody heartbreaking..... :-( :-( :-(.

can guess what happened,,,,the dirty animal..

So so sad :-(

I can't understand why the police have taken so long to search the house. I thought it was done much sooner in the case of missing children.

RIP Tia xx

poor Tia - I was just about say I'll stick my head above the parapet and put my money on the Gran's boyfriend!!! wish I'd been wrong

let's hope he gets life and it means just that - never walk the streets again

:-( R.I.P little angel, <3

I don't have the words, I am just so bloody appalled and saddened.

Not long got in from work, such awful sad news.Poor little mite:((

RIP Tia x

I will stick my head up and criticise the police........a week,!! they have been in that house almost daily as far I saw,,,,,,,,had dogs in a couple of days ago, the family have been in and out.

The grandmother is part of it I'll bet my all my worth.

Talking with D about it, re the police procedure not being to tear the place apart to start with...if it was my child missing, family or not, I'd tear the place apart myself to make sure she wasn't there,

It does just go to show though how someone can lie so brazenly. To lie at a press conference is one thing , we've all seen it done over the years, but to actually invite the press into the house.... just beggars belief, but then most of the whole sordid tale defeats me.

R.I.P Tia. xxx

let's face it - it isn't a mansion of a house - it a small terraced house - if I had a body hidden in my house which is fairly large in comparison, I'd find it, and as Rose says, I'd rip it apart myself in my search for a beloved grand-daughter

Drugs will be at the end of it.

I would as well Rose,,,,infact I'd insist the police carry out what I would expect them to do in cases like this.....rip it apart.

well he looked pretty seedy and dodgy

AnnC hes not long been out of prison,,,,,,

This is awful - just awful. 12 years of age and her life snuffed out. Poor Tia.
