Police in Florida investigating the disappearance of four year old Caoimhe McEvoy from Belfast are working on the assumption that she had been abducted.

Caoimhe disappeared last Sunday while her parents were packing to return to Belfast after a holiday in Orlando. She was found 20 hours later about 15 miles from her hotel.

Yesterday a spokesman for the sherrifs department in Orlando said police were still trying to find what happened during the time she was missing. Caoimhe had told them very little "but she is a quiet little girl by nature".
