Quanne was

July, 1998. There are grave concerns for her welfare.
Reported:
Granville Police Station Sydney, NSW Australia
12-year-old
Sydney schoolgirl Quanne bid farewell to her parents as she headed off
to catch her train to school on the morning of July 27, 1998. This was
the last time she was seen. Police later confirmed the young studious,
quiet girl never made it to the Clyde railway station.
Quanne, who
lived with her parents in the Sydney suburb of Granville, was feared to
have been kidnapped very early on in the investigations. Her disappearance
wasn`t reported to Granville Police Station until 10 hours after last being
seen. This was because her school did not report her non-attendance as
they believed she was probably sick at home and her parents had no reason
to think she wasn`t at school.
Her disappearance
was totally out of character, with no evident tension in her home or school
life. Two years after her disappearance detectives who worked on the case
have not publicly stated they believe she is dead.
However, according
to an article in The Sunday Telegraph the opinion of highly experienced
former investigators and an expert in child abduction said in all probability
she was murdered, possibly even before the search for her had begun. Homicide
investigators have never closely examined the case, despite the suspicious
circumstances of Quanne`s disappearance.
One detective
described the lack of action on the case as "sickening". Source:

I had an ICQ
message from a lady in May 2002, who said the picture was not Quanne, citing
her reason as she had gone to school with Quanne, and knew what she looked
like. She felt the photo above is not Quanne.
She said;
"On the 'Quanne Diec'
page the photo on the page is not in fact Quanne, i know this as i attend
Strathfield Girls High School which is the school that Quanne attened."
She didn't
say who it was, nor gave me any leads on where to get another pic.
So why were
the Police using this picture then?
And if it
not Quanne, WHO is it?
In the absence
of any other photos, or any other information, I have left it there.
