Bedroom broadcast for help filmed while 'missing' girl dead in bed just metres away

FEDERAL investigators say a little girl whose body was found in her bed smothered accidentally nine days after her parents launched a wide-scale search.

FEDERAL investigators say a little girl whose body was found in her bed smothered accidentally nine days after her parents launched a wide-scale search.

She was there the whole time police and family were hunting for her, it has been found - even during a televised broadcast for help from her bedroom.

The improbable finding came after an autopsy and interviews with dozens of experts, Mexico state Attorney-General Alberto Bazbaz said.

"The records and experts agree that the death of this child was an accident," he said.

"Having not found a bit of evidence to the contrary, we are closing the investigation without pursuing criminal charges."

The girl's father, Mauricio Gebara, refused to defend his lawyer wife Lizette Farah's innocence when asked about it in an interview with local Televisa network, saying the only thing he knew was that it wasn't an accident.

Gen Bazbaz said the girl, who had speech and motor disabilities, had moved to the foot of her bed, where she became smothered.

"The position the child was in when she was found was the same as the position she was in when she died," he said.

"That is, the original and final position are the same."

Four-year-old Paulette Gebara's parents reported her missing on March 22, launching a vast media campaign and citywide search, including billboard advertisements and televised pleas from Paulette's bedroom for help.

Her body was wedged between the mattress and frame of her bed in a luxury apartment on the outskirts of Mexico City.

Investigators said she suffocated.

Police initially detained her parents and two nannies, but released them without charge after several days of questioning.

In the days following the discovery of the body, Paulette's mother said she last saw her daughter when she tucked her into bed on the night of March 21.

She said when Paulette's nanny went to wake her the next morning, she was gone.

I fail to see how a girl with motor disabilities managed to wriggle herself between the mattress and the bed frame at the base of the bed. I smell a rat in this.

No not a rat just a Mexican

Part of the problem is that journalists are no longer required to study English.

FEDERAL investigators say a little girl whose body was found in her bed smothered accidentally nine days after her parents launched a wide-scale search.

By all rights, we should infer that she was:
1) Smothered accidentally
2) Found accidentally
3) Smothered accidentally nine days after her parents launched a wide-scale search.
4) Found accidentally nine days after her parents launched a wide-scale search.



Other options are available.

Motor difficulties vary. I have seen a kid whose only voluntary movement was to flap his arms a bit make some serious progress to the foot of the bed. (All the while attached to a vent circuit.)
