Police have internet lead in hunt for girls
Detective Supt David Hankins said he was convinced they were still alive and appealed directly to anyone who may be holding them. Officers are working on the possibility that the girls might have been lured away by someone they contacted through email possibly on an internet chatroom.
Mr Hankins yesterday released four photographs of the Chapman family on holiday in Minorca, Spain last week and said: "You can see from these photographs how happy the family was on holiday. "Do not let these pictures become some of the last pictures the family have to remember Jessica by."
