Hunt still on for missing girl

The search for a missing 13-year-old girl is now into its fifth day. The girl, named Anna, disappeared from a children's home in Brno on Friday night. She lived with Klara Mauerova, who is in custody on child abuse charges, after it emerged she kept her eight-year-old son bound, naked and in the dark. Ms Mauerova was in the process of applying to adopt Anna, who has mental problems; otherwise the authorities have no record of her existence. Many other questions remain unclear in the case, which has shocked the country.
