Harassment warning for County Durham woman
A woman from County Durham has been given a harassment warning by police for sending abusive messages on Facebook to the family of a toddler who went missing more than 30 years ago.
Katrice Lee disappeared at the age of two while her mother went shopping in Paderborn, Germany, in November 1981.
The family have recently received an apology from the Government about how the original Royal Military Police investigation of the case was handled.
But earlier this year the family were contacted by a woman claiming to be missing Katrice.
However, after the RMP looked into the claims, including a DNA test, it was found that the woman was not her.
The woman, from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, then sent abusive messages to Katrice's mother and to her sister, Natasha.
– Durham Police"Following an allegation of online harassment by the family in the Hampshire area, a harassment warning was issued to a 32-year-old woman from the Bishop Auckland area.
The protection from harassment warning was formally issued by ourselves on behalf of the Royal Military Police."
Full Report: Apology for family of missing Katrice
The family of a toddler who went missing from a British Army barracks in Germany more than thirty years ago say they've just had an apology - and an admission there were failings in the initial investigation into her disappearance.
Katrice Lee from Hartlepool was two when she vanished in 1981. Her parents have always argued that the military police were slow to react.
Her father, Richard, says although he welcomes the apology, he feels a public inquiry is the only way the family will discover the truth.
