Rahma El-Dennaoui: NSW (Still Missing)

Rahma was just 18 months old when she was abducted from her bedroom in the Western Sydney suburb of Lurnea in the early morning of November 10th 2005. Father Hosayn put her to bed with her two older sisters at 2am but at 8am when the family woke Rahma was gone. Parents Hosayn and Alyaa were quickly ruled out as suspects early in the investigation. The only key piece of evidence was the flyscreen on the outside of the open sliding window that was deliberately cut with a sharp instrument creating a large enough U shaped flap for someone to enter the bedroom or lean in the window and remove a child. By the end of day one of the ground search police concluded that Rahma had not wandered off and they were dealing with an abduction. The search was expanded for the next four days to include Pol-air, the dog squad and divers but despite up to two hundred personnel searching they found no trace of her. Detective Nick Sedgwick is currently reviewing the case to prepare a report for the NSW State Coroner. Rahma would now be four years old. The Government has offered a one hundred thousand dollar reward for information to solve the case.
