Toddler of missing Australian woman said one word as she ran into ... (Brisbane Times)

Barefoot and alone, the toddler of a missing couple was holding a flashlight and repeating one word as she ran into a church in Mexico.

“We were woken up in the middle of the night and confirmed that it was [her] and we haven’t been able to get in touch with my sister. “At that moment, my only reaction was to pick her up and not to let her go and the whole time I was with her, I never did. “A man behind the toddler asked us if she was ours because he said she was following him after she had been running alone without shoes,” he said.

“I’m assuming he’s dumped the car and got some other form of transport, and he’s on the run,” he said. “There are witnesses that (claim) the father was seen abandoning the child in front of the church.” “And just to clarify, (it is my belief) Addy was dumped by her father, and he is now on the run. “But once it happened, she was transformed into the most amazing mother on the planet and Addy is her whole life, so for this to happen is just tragic and heartbreaking.” “She’s always on social media, and she’s always posting photos of her and Addy constantly, it’s just a constant stream of it, so for her to drop off we knew something was very wrong.” Tahnee Shanks’ Mackay-based family holds grave fears for her safety, with her brother and mother to travel to Mexico on Friday to retrieve her daughter Adeline (Addy) and search for the woman.
