Tia Sharp's body found in her Grandmother's house

P.S.

I'm suprised that there's been nothing whatsoever on Tia on TSR - is everyone just following the Olympics while life goes on?

All of my family said from the start he was guilty and shifty. The fact someone said they saw her leave the house doesn't mean a lot, if someone is pressed a lot they will worry and think they saw them and maybe get the dates mixed up, doesn't dismiss the fact he murdered his granddaughter. Did anyone else notice how they said that Tia had been staying there less and less when she used to stay every weekend? Leads me to think he may have been touching her and she threatened to tell....

Innocent until proven guilty, eh?

With four searches in the week before today, I find it hard to believe the body was there the whole time but then why bring it back to the house?

So sad for her

As for not "formally identifying" the body, well, sorry to sound harsh or presumptious but who else could it be?

They found him, obviously at this time they just want to question him; but at the moment the way the news has reported it looks very like he did it.

Yeah, this is kind of ridiculous. They are still not saying that it's Tia. Everyone knows it has to be her because if it isn't, then it's another child, and that would be serious news.

Maybe because it had been searched, and so he/they thought it wouldn't be searched again? Just a thought.


It's horrendous to think that the (step)grandfather could have done it, especially after the interviews given. I just don't know how people can do that.
But of course, it doesn't look good for him considering he 'went missing'. He's clearly got something to hide.

I thought earlier this week though that there was something not quite right about the case. The media just kept mentioning that they were speaking to him 'as a witness'. It was repeated so often. My mum and I said like, they're making a big deal about him, something's not right with what he's saying.

I think it's to do with formal identification by the family as the police would have recognised her immediately. They won't make a formal announcement until this has been done, I don't think.

Oh aye, he's very fishy but people on here have already placed judgement, which is wrong. He could very well be involved but who knows until it is found out, in what role. For example, and I hate to imagine it, what if he was in a minor role. Tia never left the house and then it was the grandmother when she got home? People on here have reckoned that she knew that Tia was dead. He knows it happens this way but can't have the blame placed totally on him. I'll reserve my judgement on a strange strange family until there is evidence proofing what happened. Hopefully justice will prevail.

I knew this would happen. Things that ran my alarm bells:

- news reported her grandma has a boyfriend
- which implied that the grandma was young-ish
- which implied that this household was somewhat disfunctional
- which implied similarities with the case of shannon matthews
- which implied family members were involved

also the fact that the guy (grandma's boyfriend) went on camera to appeal for help straight after he was put under the spotlight, I knew right away that the guy was fishy as ****. When will these idiots ever learn? It was the same with the case in Derby where a house with about 10 kids was burned and it turned out that the parents were involved

More arrests.

No I do not pretend to fit in with anyone. It is awful news and I do not know the poor girl so how can I care about her? but most people do not in the same they would for someone they know but because humans can be compassionate and we all have little cousins, nieces and nephews and sometimes we see how easily out life can be snuffed out. She was just a little girl.

You on the other hand have your way of thinking but do not go assuming what most people are thinking. You are wrong and clearly a loner.

Or maybe, as ridiculous as it sounds, people are horrified that this could happen. My brother is 12 and whilst he tries to act grown up we know he's still just a kid and the thought of what could have happened to Tia happening to him is just horrifying. Anyway, regardless of whether you care or not, keep your jokes to yourself or post them on Sickipedia where mature people don't need to see them.

It's interesting that a '46-year-old woman' has been arrested. I have a horrible feeling it's her grandmother poor kid.

Same here. I was hoping against hope that her grandma wouldn't among them, guess we might be wrong...
