‘Area of interest’ found in search of girl who vanished 55 years ago

A volunteer team has found the bodies detection dogs to find the body of a British child who has disappeared in Australia more than 50 years ago, “a field of attention.”

The group hopes that its discovery will be a breakthrough in the Sherrill Grimmer case and reported the New South Wales police website, which is now at the scene.

The authorities suspect that the three -year -old, who immigrated from Bristol with her family, was kidnapped from Fairy Meadow Beach in Wangong in January 1970.

“Research will be held tomorrow with the help of specialized officers as part of the ongoing investigations,” police told the BBC.

Today, bathing in the sun, the beach looks poetic as it should have been all of these years. From sand dunes, which look inside, the terrain gradually climbing to the dense land.

A short drive to the hills, there is a small pocket of forests on the edge of a sophisticated suburb that can reveal a terrible secret.

Balgawnie was the site mentioned in a confession by a teenage boy – also from England – a year after the child’s disappearance. After decades, the judge rejected this acceptance.

In 2019, The trial of the suspect,, Only known by the name of the symbols, MERCURY, which was charged with kidnapping and killing Sherrill Grimmer. The man, in his sixties, denied committing any violations.

Sherrill Ricky Nash was seven when his little sister disappeared. The last time he saw her in Fair Meadow.

“This should have been done 55 years ago,” he said at a time when the specialized team with dogs began to discover human remains, his work began. “My question is, why wasn’t it?

“Yes, it’s unusual. The police have never collected this area in detail even though they have confession. Not just confession, very detailed.”

He spent the answers of a passion for life, but he does not want to find them here between long trees, creeks and shrubs.

“We always live in the hope that someone will take it that cannot be given it, and raised it well. One day she grows up, and discovered that she does not belong to that family. We have had people over the years doing it for me and our family: knocking the door and saying that they are Sherrill and your heart rate goes to a million to one.

“We were hoping that Sherrill would one day be. So, we would be looking for a body or part of it, I mean, it’s not a good thing,” Mr. Nash told BBC.

Nine -year -old Rovos is the main research dog. His treatment is Chris Darcy, the head of the Sydney research dogs, a charity, which offered the assistance of the Grimmer family after attending the seminar of the missing persons in Wangong. The Fair Meadow was also heard from the BBC, which was presented by John Kai, who has been downloaded five million times.

The dog team achieved success in the previous cold cases dating back more than half a century. Last year, they found human remains in a lake in northern New South Wales.

Now, the Mr. D’Acy team believes it has made a potential penetration in the Grimmer case.

“What we think we have identified is an area of ​​attention and we will transfer information to the authorities,” he said. “The dog showed a clear change in behavior.”

Ricky Nash said the news made him “trembling.”

“If Sherrill was there – it was 55 years ago Now – it should not be. “

Balgawnie was mostly agricultural land in 1970. Frank Sanvitali, the former investigator who worked in the Grimmer case, was supporting the Sherrill family members. They have become close and exchanged deep frustrations over the broader police investigation over the decades.

“To find something after 55 years, I hope to do it, but the opportunities are one in one million,” he explained. “It will be like winning four lottery in a row. You have to use a little healthy sense and be reasonable and logical about it.”

The retired investigator has challenged the individual or group responsible for the disappearance of a small child to progress.

“What about doing something for Coriel, that little girl who took her and possessing what she did and [giving] Families here in Australia and England … some peace. “

The tragedy sends ripples of sadness through families. The daughter of Ricky Nash, Melanie Gremer, has four children. She is waiting for the news of search news in a publication on the side of the road.

“I know that my father hopes that nothing will be found. I hope that it will be found, and I hope the girl will return to the house. My family has passed a lot and it is a continuous battle,” she told the BBC. “I feel the disease in my stomach here.”

Many have changed since 1970. But one thing remains fixed – Determine a sad family To reveal the truth.
