Michelle was waiting for her beautiful girl to come home to her on Saturday. She’s still waiting…
Michelle Dorendahl was looking forward to seeing her daughter Eeva on Saturday. After splitting with her partner 12 months earlier, they had successfully shared custody of the four-year-old. He’d even sent her a text to say they were on their way.
She had no idea that as she sat there waiting for her daughter to arrive, she may never see her again.
It’s been five days since Eeva and her father Greg Hutchings, 35 have been seen. Eeva had been staying at her dad’s home on the NSW north coast and was meant to be returned to her mother in Kin Kin. They were last seen on Pottsville Road at around 12.30.
The distraught mum is growing more panicked as each day passes. She turned to Facebook for help, asking friends to share this post about her missing daughter:
So far it has been shared 30,000 times.
An extensive search involving police in multiple states, water police, pol air and the SES has failed to find any sign of them. Authorities are concerned they are hiding in bushland and fear that Hutchings may not be properly prepared for the hot weather. They have asked the public for help in finding them and have directly appealed to the desperate dad to return his daughter safely.
Detectives were yesterday seen at his Pottsville unit seizing several items.
Hutching's family is now claiming that an international custody dispute is behind his decision to flee with his daughter however Michelle disputes this, saying it's untrue that she was planning to return home to Finland.
