Police search for missing girl, believed kidnapped

The police are searching for a Dutch national who is believed to have kidnapped his six-year old daughter living in the Czech Republic. Rodney William Cowie, 38, allegedly picked up his daughter Charlie Tereza from her mothers’ house on Saturday morning for a day-out but failed to return her that evening as agreed. Cowie lives in Australia, but he spent the last three months in the Czech Republic getting close to his daughter who has been in her mother’s care since their divorce. His personal belongings have disappeared from the boarding house where he had booked a room until the end of March and he is said to have borrowed a car from his former brother in law which he failed to return.
