When Kiesha's parents came out in the media in August of 2010 to report their little girl had vanished, I pointed out that their behavior was off and was not supportive of the story they were giving us. I didn't trust them from day one, and now almost three years later, Kiesha's mom has admitted to killing her daughter.

Kiesha Abrahams was the little six-year old Australian girl who supposedly disappeared in the middle of the night in 2010. When her mother plead for her return that summer, I couldn't help but see the holes in her behavior. You can read my original thoughts on this case here.
The case is finally going to trial against Kiesha's stepdad Robert Smith. An Australian reader sent me a link to an article that updates the story (thank you!). Apparently, Kiesha's mom hit her so hard, she knocked her daughter out, and then both parents left the injured child alone until she died.
The story is heart-breaking but for those who are interested, here is more information. I warn you it is disturbing.
Many people commented at the time that little Kiesha did not look happy in her photos, and you can clearly see a "fake smile" in the photo of her above.
So tragic.
Next time you see a child who fake smiles like this consistently, see if you can get them to open up. You might be able to save a child's life.

Kiesha Weippeart's mom, Kristi Abrahams, plead for her missing daughter on August 3, 2010. She wore sunglasses when she made the plea and her cry was riddle with clues it was fake. I immediately saw red flags and did not trust Kristi Abrahams. You can read my original post here.
As the story continued to develop in time, there were a lot of things that didn't make sense in this case, and most people saw something was up. People speculated over the sad face of little Kiesha. Was it letting out a secret that she was sad at home? Evidently, the answer is yes. Police are expected to include in their statement against Kiesha's parents that their treatment of their daughter was harsh, and included brutual treatment (source).
Sadly, Kiesha's little bones were found in April of this year and now police in Australia, where this occurred, are working to put the pieces of this puzzle together.
They got a tip in April of this year that on Kiesha's birthday, her parents were going to her grave and that is precisely what they did. They hired a taxi and lead investigators, unknowingly, to Kiesha's body.
Police suspect that Kristi Abrahams and her partner, Robert Smith, caused harm to the little girl, and believe she died as a result of head injuries. They then believe once she died, somewhere between July 12-14 of last year, they hired a taxi and took her lifeless body in a suitcase to a bushland grave. A taxi driver remembers the two carrying a suitcase to the bushland.
Kiesha was then reported missing on August 1, 2010. Both Kristi Abraham and her partner Robert Smith are facing murder charges.

A reader just informed me that Kiesha Abraham's mom Kristi and her step-father Robert Smith have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of their daughter, Kiesha, in the past couple of hours.
You can read my original thoughts on Kristi Abraham and Robert Smith back in August of 2010 here when they first made a plea in the media for their daughter's return.

The police have now seized the mobile phones of Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith as part of their search for little Kiesha Abrahams. Kiesha was reporting missing by her mum on August 1, 2010, and has not been since.

Many of you have asked me to share my thoughts on Kiesha's photo.
She looks like a sad girl in this photo. She is not smiling genuinely. Her smile is forced. She looks tired, like she hasn't slept very well, and she does look pale.
She was clearly a sweet child. She also was a reserved child. She was not a loud child who commanded a lot of attention. I sure hope they find her and hold the people accountable who are responsible for whatever happened to her.
You can read my thoughts on her parents first press conference here.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that police know who the killer is of little Kiesha Abrahams, but they are taking time to gather evidence in the case before an arrest, which is rumored to be imminent.
I don't think anyone is shocked by this report. I found the parents behavior very telling when they first spoke to the media shortly after Kiesha's disappearance. I never believed they have been forthright with us.
What is even more interesting in this news report is that it says the Kiesha's mum and step-father asked to be relocated after their daughter disappeared. They live in government housing, if I understand it correctly. While I knew they were in a hotel, I thought police relocated them.
Tell me what parent would leave a house where their daughter disappeared-- immediately after she disappeared? Anyone? An innocent grieving mother who believed her daughter wandered off or was snatched would likely hang on to that house (apartment) with all hope that just maybe her daughter was hiding and would wander home -- even if it is illogical as time passes -- it would still be an avenue of hope.
Most mothers would have nightmares if they left the house that their daughter would come home and find the house abandon, and that thought would torture them! And those thoughts would keep them at that house for months because to walk away is to essentially give up hope. Innocent parents don't give up hope months and even years later.
The fact that Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith wanted out there is another huge red flag, if you ask me.

It's been a month since little Kiesha Abrahams was reported missing by her mother and step-dad. The police re-interviewed Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith yesterday, though they have not been named suspects in this case. You can watch an update on the story here. It's interesting how Kristi doesn't talk to reporters. She has been more concerned with herself through this entire process and showed very little regard for her daughter, sadly. It doesn't bode well for little Kiesha.

News outlets are reporting that that police in Sydney are looking to find the source of six cash payments of $500 and $600 made to Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith in the weeks leading up to Kiesha's disappearance.
This is an interesting twist in the case. If the news stories are true, everyone will be questioning if Kiesha's mum and step-dad sold their daughter in exchange for money. Could she have been sold into the sex trade?
It's horrible to think about.

Kristi Abrahams' behavior in this video is remarkable. Here is a woman who tells us that it is too much for her to care for her two children and search for her missing daughter. Yet look at how lighthearted she is in front of the camera. She smiles as she holds her son and points out the camera to her little girl. She certainly doesn't appear to be overwhelmed, does she?
Kristi then goes on to complain how she can't even take her kids to the park or even go to a shop to buy bread or milk. Kristi is asked why and she replies, "Because people are judging us." Obviously Kristi feels it is not too much to go to the store or the park, she just simply can't do it because she is being judged. She is so inconsistent, she doesn't even see it. If she can take her kids to the store or the park, she can take them out and organize searches for her daughter, or pass out buttons, fliers, t-shirts, etc.
Worse, if you notice, this is all about Kristi and not about Kiesha. It's horrifying to watch Kristi in this video.
Of the two people here, Kristi is much more lighthearted than Robert. He seems to be bearing a huge weight on his shoulders, where Kristi doesn't not. Yet she is the biological parent. That is quite noteworthy in of itself.
The police spokesperson said at the end, "I think you've got to expect the worst." I see nothing at this point that gives me hope, sadly. I have doubted that these parents are telling us all they know, and I have doubted have since the first time I saw them speak to the media.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Kristi Abrahams, mother of missing Kiesha, 6, says she has two other kids to look after that is why she isn't participating in searches.
The Telegraph also reports that, "Homicide detectives said Ms Abrahams and her partner Robert Smith were asked to be part of the renewed appeal for information but the pair said they were 'busy'."
This is such sad news. I am sure many people have volunteered to help the family during this difficult time and if they wanted to search, surely they could...
It doesn't bode well for this family. Here are my original thoughts of Kristi Abrahams, when I first saw her speak at a press conference a few weeks back. I believe they know a lot more than they are telling, sadly.

ABC News Australia is reporting that Robert Smith, the partner (and step-dad?) of Kristi Abrahams, is saying that the police are pointing their fingers squarely at him. He said they have asked him to lead them to her body, yet he denies killing Kiesha. You can read more on ABC's website here.
I am not surprised by this, and while I don't know who is responsible for Kiesha going missing specifically, I do not trust that her mother and partner are being forthright with us. You can read my reviews of their two media interviews here and here.

Kiesha Abraham's mom, Kristi, spoke out to the media again today this time telling the media in a sobbing voice, "They need to stop judging me. They don't know me." The video then cuts to a snippet where she reveals her face. She continues and talks about memories of her daughter, "She was funny, she was always happy. She loved animals."
What strikes me at this point is this is all about Kristi, and not about finding her daughter. Most mothers would careless about the finger being pointed at them by the public, if they know they are innocent. They wouldn't get weepy--instead they would be crusading to find their daughter at all costs, and mad that the public has it wrong -- that they must find the little girl, but this is eerily missing from Kristi.
Why isn't she showing us more photos of Kiesha, trying to get the public to help find her daughter? Why isn't she encouraging people to search for her? Is she searching herself or organizing searches? Or is she just feeling sorry for herself at her daughter's expense?
Furthermore, why isn't she talking directly to her daughter in case she is out there? Why isn't she being strong for her, if she believes she was abducted and still could be alive? At six years old, Kiesha would certainly understand her. Her lack of hope is just very odd and usual.

Kiesha Abrahams is a six-year old girl who went missing, according to her mom, this past Saturday from a Sydney suburb. According to Kristi Abrahams and her partner Robert Smith, they put Kiesha to bed and in the morning when they awoke, she was gone.
I see a lot of red flags in this video.
What concerns me is the mother appears to be hiding behind her sunglasses and tissue. Why does she feel the need to hide?
Another big red flag for me is the mother's lack of hope that she will find her daughter alive. She seems utterly hopeless. Why isn't she holding out any hope? When this video was shot, it was only three days out...
Furthermore, her crying doesn't feel genuine to me. Why aren't any tears running down her cheeks? Her sunglasses wouldn't stop this from happening. And if she was crying that hard, she would have a need to blot her eyes so she could see, but she never does.
Kristi also cries at strategic times, if you notice. Watch her and you will hear her stop "crying" to listen to her partner or the reporter speak. A distraught mother would is truly broken up could careless what a reporter says. Or if she did "care", she would speak speak up herself to make sure she got the right messages out there, but she doesn't. I just get this distinct feeling she is listening because she wants to know if people are suspicious of her. It's very unusual behavior.
Robert, the boyfriend, also talks about Kiesha in past tense. He said, "She was always happy...loved playing." This may or may not be a clue to deception. I have seen honest people do this, but it is usually after a long period of time, not just a couple of days. He also doesn't look at the media or project any hope that Kiesha is okay. You get a sense it is hard for him to look at the reporters, and he is not a shy guy by nature. It's odd behavior for his personality type.
Robert says, "It gets harder by the minute." This surprises me. I would think everything about Kiesha missing would be hell on earth. I don't think things would get harder than they are, unless they got negative news that suggested she wasn't okay. I am not involved in the investigation to know if this fits or not. But if it doesn't, than I would want to know what got harder? Why have they given up hope when everyone is supporting them and searching for her? Are things getting harder because people are honing in on them?
In looking for this video, I found this one below as well which doesn't bode well for Kiesha. Ten News is reporting that there were no clothes of Keisha at her mom's house and that no one has seen Kiesha in weeks. Nothing at this point supports a good outcome in this case. I believe Kristi and Robert know a lot more than they are telling us...
Thanks to Lou and Dee for pointing this story out to me.
