The Potugese police have stopped digging for the little girl after having been handed the letter claiming the location of her young body.
They haven't said why they stopped but one can assume it wasn't because they indeed found her.

Why then? Could the police just be incompetent and the remains still lie somewhere in the field?

Or was the note someone's sick sense of humour? A fake, or more insidiously an intentional ploy to somehow throw the authorities off?

Surely there could be no-one would instigate such a play. Surely not. But hey, we're only human, right?
