Unexplained Payments to Mum of Kiesha Abrahams

Businessman stacking blocks

News outlets are reporting that that police in Sydney are looking to find the source of six cash payments of $500 and $600 made to Kristi Abrahams and Robert Smith in the weeks leading up to Kiesha’s disappearance.

This is an interesting twist in the case. If the news stories are true, everyone will be questioning if Kiesha’s mum and step-dad sold their daughter in exchange for money. Could she have been sold into the sex trade?

It’s horrible to think about.

Kristi Abrahams On Camera Again

7 News Australia video clip

Kristi Abrahams’ behavior in this video is remarkable. Here is a woman who tells us that it is too much for her to care for her two children and search for her missing daughter. Yet look at how lighthearted she is in front of the camera. She smiles as she holds her son and points out the camera to her little girl. She certainly doesn’t appear to be overwhelmed, does she?

Kristi then goes on to complain how she can’t even take her kids to the park or even go to a shop to buy bread or milk. Kristi is asked why and she replies, “Because people are judging us.” Obviously Kristi feels it is not too much to go to the store or the park, she just simply can’t do it because she is being judged. She is so inconsistent, she doesn’t even see it. If she can take her kids to the store or the park, she can take them out and organize searches for her daughter, or pass out buttons, fliers, t-shirts, etc.

Worse, if you notice, this is all about Kristi and not about Kiesha. It’s horrifying to watch Kristi in this video.

Of the two people here, Kristi is much more lighthearted than Robert. He seems to be bearing a huge weight on his shoulders, where Kristi doesn’t not. Yet she is the biological parent. That is quite noteworthy in of itself.

The police spokesperson said at the end, “I think you’ve got to expect the worst.” I see nothing at this point that gives me hope, sadly. I have doubted that these parents are telling us all they know, and I have doubted have since the first time I saw them speak to the media.

Kristi Abrahams Doesn’t Have Time to Search

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Kristi Abrahams, mother of missing Kiesha, 6, says she has two other kids to look after that is why she isn’t participating in searches.

The Telegraph also reports that, “Homicide detectives said Ms Abrahams and her partner Robert Smith were asked to be part of the renewed appeal for information but the pair said they were ‘busy’.”

This is such sad news. I am sure many people have volunteered to help the family during this difficult time and if they wanted to search, surely they could…

It doesn’t bode well for this family. Here are my original thoughts of Kristi Abrahams, when I first saw her speak at a press conference a few weeks back. I believe they know a lot more than they are telling, sadly.

Kiesha’s Step-Dad: Police Think I Did It

On Missing Little Kiesha Abrahams, age 6

ABC News Australia is reporting that Robert Smith, the partner (and step-dad?) of Kristi Abrahams, is saying that the police are pointing their fingers squarely at him. He said they have asked him to lead them to her body, yet he denies killing Kiesha. You can read more on ABC’s website here.

I am not surprised by this, and while I don’t know who is responsible for Kiesha going missing specifically, I do not trust that her mother and partner are being forthright with us. You can read my reviews of their two media interviews here and here.

Kiesha Abrahams Mom Speaks Again

Kiesha Abraham’s mom, Kristi, spoke out to the media again today this time telling the media in a sobbing voice, “They need to stop judging me. They don’t know me.” The video then cuts to a snippet where she reveals her face. She continues and talks about memories of her daughter, “She was funny, she was always happy. She loved animals.”

What strikes me at this point is this is all about Kristi, and not about finding her daughter. Most mothers would careless about the finger being pointed at them by the public, if they know they are innocent. They wouldn’t get weepy–instead they would be crusading to find their daughter at all costs, and mad that the public has it wrong — that they must find the little girl, but this is eerily missing from Kristi.

Why isn’t she showing us more photos of Kiesha, trying to get the public to help find her daughter? Why isn’t she encouraging people to search for her? Is she searching herself or organizing searches? Or is she just feeling sorry for herself at her daughter’s expense?

Furthermore, why isn’t she talking directly to her daughter in case she is out there? Why isn’t she being strong for her, if she believes she was abducted and still could be alive? At six years old, Kiesha would certainly understand her. Her lack of hope is just very odd and usual.
