I have just received this email from my niece:

A 3-year-old girl named Reachelle Marie Smith is missing.
You never know where this e-mail could end up and I'm not going to stop passing this one around if it means a little girl can be found!!!

Please spread this picture far and wide....You just never know someone you know might know her!



I assume the appeal is genuine, but obviously cannot guarantee that.

The message footer contains contact details in Woking Surrey (including phone number). I have decided against copying it on to the forum.

I would suggest if anyone has information, they contact the police.

So why is this not on the National News then?
Seems rather serious to me.

Hmm. You've got me thinking. I'm wondering whether it might not be a custody thing. The name on the bottom of the original email was male, so it's conceivable that the child has been taken by a spouse/partner. I wish we had a resident plod who could confirm whether this was indeed a genuine case. If not, then I'll ask the admins to delete it as, tragic though custody battles can be, this is not the place to get involved.

Perhaps I was too hasty. Being a parent of two young 'uns, I sort of dived in a bit.

Entirely reasonable and understandable Nickbat!

As a parent myself, I can understand your concern. Custody battles though best to steer well away from them if you can

EDIT 2:there is a girl called Reachelle Marie Smith missing in the states and she has been mising for almost 3 years

The email with woking details is a hoax - http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/missing/reachelle.asp

although the picture is different, the chances of another 3year old with the exact same name going missing is slight

Edit: it is a hoax another debunking site has the same picture

Thanks Big Al.

So there really is a missing girl with this name, but she went missing in the US and would be about 6 now?

If it's genuine i hope she's found unharmed & returned to her family. If it's a hoax it's bang out of order.
    Even my sick sense of humour does'nt run that far.
