That's like a case in Australia,
A child was reported missing by her grandparents after no one had seen her for a month. Family friends had been asking the parents where the child was, but they would answer that she was sick. Two weeks later the parents said that she has been "taken during the night" and that she had been kidnapped.
The police found month old blood in the girls room, and the bed looked like it hadn't been touched in a while.
The outer family (uncles, aunts and grandparents) were hysterical, crying and begging for the kidnapper to give her back. But the parents sat there, not saying a word, looking at the floor. The mother of the child had a tissue against her nose, but she wasn't crying.
It then surfaced that the father in the family was the child's stepfather, and the mother was pregnant with his child. The biological father was never told to the police.
The parents then released a public appeal, the most cold, emotionless statement I have ever heard from "grieving parents". The mother kept looking down to the left (a sign that someone is lying) and spoke quietly into her tissue. The stepfather looked casual and carefree. They kept saying "Um... just come home... we miss you..." and looked insanely guilty.
Then the case went quiet for about 9 months. There were no new leads, but the police were watching the parents like a hawk.
On the child's seventh birthday, the parents went for a drive into a abandoned section of a forest near their house. They stood on a patch of earth and stayed there for a while, the mother crying. The police followed them there, asking what they were doing. They had no answer, so the police started digging.
They found the girl's body in a suitcase.
It is believe that the stepfather killed the girl after the mother fell pregnant. They then took a taxi (poor taxi driver!) out to the scrubland and buried her. People started asking questions, so they made up the story about her being kidnapped.
I followed this case form the beginning, because I knew they were guilty from the first time I saw her.
The parents have been charged, on the way to their court case, people were screaming "murderer!" to them, as they deserve.
