Caroline, 5, disappeared from the seaside resort town of Portobello, just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland, on July 8, 1983. That evening she asked her mother if she could go to a nearby park to play for a few minutes. Her mother let her, but Caroline never returned. Other children at the playground said she had gone off with a man who had taken her to a fairground, Fun City, and given her money so she could go on the rides. They were seen leaving Fun City together, holding hands. Caroline's naked body was found on July 18 at Twycross in Leicestershire, 300 miles from where she was abducted. The medical examiner could not determine what had caused her to die, but she had clearly been murdered.
Caroline's murder went unsolved until 1990, when a van driver named Robert Black was arrested for kidnapping and assault. Police noticed that the crime had similarities to Caroline's murder and the murders of Sarah Harper and Susan Maxwell. Gasoline receipts proved that Black was in the area when the three girls were murdered. Their bodies had been found within twenty-six miles of each other. Black had shown paedophiliac tendencies since adolescence. He was convicted of killing Susan, Caroline and Sarah in 1994 and given ten life sentences; he will probably never be freed.
I didn't know her personally but there are too many children being taken from this earth by EVIL PEOPLE.
Caroline Sweetheart Rest In Peace

As a little girl living close to where you were found I have never forgotten the photo of the beautiful angelic girl with the big brown eyes and the reality of having to grow up quickly to understand that there was evil in the world All these years later you've never left my thoughts and I have often shed a tear for the girl I only knew through a photograph. Rest in peace forever Angel,
With love, Megan.

An Angel in Heaven these many years, you are no less missed on earth, and always remembered by all.
Prayers and love.
The innocent children
Oh how the wind blows on this cold november day
i sit and pray my children will make it to school to-day
oh lord i pray to you keep them from harms way
and deliver them safely back to me.
Child abuse is the scourge of our society,
and every parents anxiety,
the innocence of childhood is quickly swept aside
through our foolish pride.
we hope that no harm comes to our own,
while we turn a blind eye to what goes
on in somebody else's home.
I love my children dearly, and keep them safely to me
i warn them clearly of the danger of talking
or going with a stranger,
but sometimes it is not enough for some
and they are the ones who don't come home.
I sit and cry for these little souls and the years
that they have lost ,
do these poeple know the hurt that they have caused ?
someone has to pray for
THE INNOCENT CHILDREN OF TO-DAY X
for caroline may she rest in peace i wrote this when i first heard what happened and it really affected me as i had children of my own that age and it was so sad av never forgotten her lovely smile xx
