What a horrendous story, they must have some way of tracing who hired the container, maybe who paid and even more remotely video footage of vehicles coming and going or fingerprints

Saw that yesterday. Beyond comprehension.
Obviously got to be international because red flags would have gone off immediately in relation to missing local/indigenous children regardless of passage of time.
Can’t imagine the horror of those who purchased the cases.

sorry this is off topic but I went searching for the story and came across this one

A battery from a drill - it wasn't in the drill, or switched on - burnt the house down. I may be accused of ignorance but I didn't know this could happen.

Can’t see a connection tbh Jno, occupants would have still been accounted for?

no connection, Fatticus, I just found a link to this other story and was too lazy to give it its own thread. I didn't know batteries could burn your house down.

Of Asian descent, apparently - it sounds as if the police know who they are

I have seen these auctions on TV. People blindly buy goods hoping they have a higher value than what they paid for them. I find that a strange thing to gamble on.

The NZ story reminds me of the recent shocking documentary film, ‘The girl in the picture’ based on a true story.

*Spoiler*
The monster who eventually killed the girl in the picture, actually adopted 3 small children from a US orphanage. He killed two of them, saving the pretty little girl because she could earn money in strip clubs and brothels.
