Girl's abduction still a mystery<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Gambir police in Central Jakarta are still
\ntrying to ascertain the whereabouts of a three-and-half-year girl
\nwho is believed to have been abducted by an elderly woman on
\nMonday.<\/p>\n
"We have identified the woman as a neighbor of the girl's
\nfamily," Central Jakarta police chief Lt. Col. Murawi Effendi
\ntold The Jakarta Post yesterday.<\/p>\n
However, his personnel have yet to find to where the woman and
\nthe girl have disappeared.<\/p>\n
"We are watching several spots which we believe are being used
\nby the suspect to hide," Murawi said.<\/p>\n
Fina Fauziyah, the sixth of Sofyan and Fauzina seven children,
\nwas left alone by her mother inside the city-owned pawn shop on
\nJl. Abdul Muis in Tanah Abang on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Fauzina, 40, told Gambir police detectives that she had to
\naccompany one of her daughters to the toilet and asked Fina to
\nstay for a while in front of a shop counter.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Fauzina came out of the toilet but could
\nnot find her daughter anywhere in the shop.<\/p>\n
Several witnesses, including street sellers in front of the
\nbuilding, informed her that they saw Fina, wearing a red dress
\nand black shoes, leaving with an elderly woman.<\/p>\n
A preliminary investigation has identified the woman as a
\nneighbor from the same area as the girl's family on Jl. Kebon
\nSirih Barat Dalam.<\/p>\n
"This is not a ransom kidnapping because the girl's parents
\nare poor, as is the suspect," Murawi deduced, after attending the
\nopening ceremony of a two-week disciplinary course for preman in
\nCondet, East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
In addition to the main suspect, the Gambir police are looking
\nfor a key witness in the case, a local female fruit seller who
\nwas nowhere to be found after the incident near her stall.<\/p>\n
"We believe she may have details of the story," said the
\ndeputy to the head of the police subprecinct, Capt. Mulyono.<\/p>\n
Both Murawi and Mulyono said that police are still trying to
\ndetermine the motive of the abduction, though theories of another
\ninsane woman as the abductor have been put forth.<\/p>\n
They refused to comment on several rumors, saying only that
\nthe wanted suspect probably took the girl for revenge following a
\nrecent argument between the Sofyans and the suspect's family.(bsr)<\/p>",
