MfD: evidence suggests 13-year old girl without identity was from Norway

Police are looking into evidence which suggests that a 13 year old girl whose whereabouts and identity have been unclear is a girl from Norway named Anne, Mlada fronta Dnes newspaper reports. The girl's existence came to light in connection with another case last month when an eight year old boy was found naked and bound in the broom cupboard of his home. The boy, his brother, and their adopted sister Anicka were taken to a children's home; their mother and aunt are now in police custody on child abuse charges. A few days later, Anicka mysteriously disappeared and DNA tests showed that the girl in the children's home was in fact a 32-year old woman who had slipped into the role of a little girl.

According to the paper, new evidence indicates that the 13 year-old girl did indeed exist. The daily suspects that the police are now looking into the theory that the 32-year old woman who pretended to be Anicka did so to cover up the girl's existence. Where the real Anne from Norway is now is unknown but witnesses recall that she was very ill and often had to be carried, the paper concludes.
