Prosecutors investigate case of girl said to have been hidden by mother and grandparents in Attendorn An eight-year-old girl has been freed after allegedly being locked away by her mother and grandparents in western Germany since she was less than a year old leaving her so physically underdeveloped as to be barely able to climb a flight of stairs is understood to have spent most of the last seven and a half years in a locked room at her grandparents’ house in Attendorn a town of about 25,000 residents east of Cologne “She can’t have managed to get much of a glimpse of the outside world,” the prosecutor Patrick Baron von Grotthuss told local newspaper SauerlandKurier Doctors who examined the girl after she was freed on 23 September found no signs of physical mistreatment or malnourishment, municipal authorities said in a statement during the examination she reportedly said she had never seen a forest Grotthuss said she was “barely able to climb stairs on her own or navigate uneven ground” Why the girl was hidden from the public for nearly her whole life remains unclear as her mother and grandparents have reportedly declined to give answers during police questioning who was already separated from the mother at the time of her birth told SauerlandKurier he had found a note on his car’s windscreen when the girl was about six months old notifying him of his ex-partner’s intention to move to Italy with the child named only as “Rosemarie G” by the tabloid Bild to protect her privacy while criminal proceedings are ongoing informed local authorities she had moved to Calabria When the child’s father reported to youth welfare authorities in September 2015 that he had repeatedly seen the mother and child in Attendorn they questioned the girl’s maternal grandparents but were informed that the pair were residing in Italy It was only in July this year that local authorities again investigated the whereabouts of the child after a married couple living in the adjacent municipality of Lennestadt tipped off police about a rumour that the now eight-year-old had been locked away at her grandparents’ house for years Relatives of the mother told investigators that the pair had never lived in Italy and were contactable via a German landline a claim that was confirmed when Italian police told the Olpe district youth welfare office on 12 September that the mother and the child had never resided at the Calabrian address they had put down as their new home police and youth welfare officers found the girl at her grandparents’ home The public prosecutor’s office in the city of Siegen is investigating the child’s mother and grandparents over false imprisonment and mistreatment of a minor had not been seen in public since 2015 when she was 18 months old and was reportedly kept in a single room – The heat index had long ago topped 100 degrees as veteran trout fishing guide Kevin Attendorn welcomed two passengers from the Memphis area aboard the vessel he would use for an afternoon of fishing on the Little Red River On this sizzling afternoon Attendorn would be using an 18-foot party barge equipped with a 40-horsepower motor and room for six customers For those of us accustomed to leaving the dock at Lindsey’s Resort sitting in captain’s chairs within arm’s length of our guide on a regular-sized fishing boat There’s something new on the Little Red River and not just the spruced up appearance of Lindsey’s Resort since it went through bankruptcy and now is back better than ever thanks to new owners and the willingness to spend money to make money Not only did the new owners renovate the 45 cabins (new flat-screen TVs but they also purchased new boats and motors including – and here is the item that is catching the fancy of customers – two Sun Tracker party barges said the resort’s party barge business has gotten “really big” in the past two years for a variety of reasons it can hold more people (six) and is obviously more comfortable than a regular river fishing boat “There are all kinds of room,” said Attendorn Everyone that goes out with me in the party barge wants to do it again.” there’s another reason he likes using the pontoon boat “I prefer the party barge because I get more people in the boat,” Attendorn said it’s probably more work because it can be hectic with a lot of people in the boat but it is so comfortable for my clients.” August is prime party boat time on the Little Red River There’s nothing like a smooth ride up river with the 48-degree water of the river providing air conditioning on the hottest of days “To me it’s like fishing in an air conditioned classroom,” Attendorn said “It’s the way to go in the summer time especially for the kids and those who might not be very experienced at trout fishing on the Little Red and nobody has failed or had to stay after class Attendorn said he will use one of the resort’s two pontoons 75 percent of the time during the summer He’s taught his daughter and step son how to fish off a pontoon making sure that all youth on board wear a lifejacket A guided fishing trip on a party barge is $260 for one or two people for half-a-day and $310 for a full-day do party barges work for trout fishing on the Little Red River “We have been catching a brown (trout) or two just about every outing,” Attendorn said “We had an 18-inch brown this morning A couple of days ago I had one on that weighed about four pounds.” He is part of the First Family at Lindsey’s Resort – son of Terri Lindsey White and her husband Sonny and his wife Mavis (AKA Nana) and nephew to Terri’s brother Billy was recently named superintendent at Bull Shoals-White River State Park near Lakeview replacing Tracy King who left to become Region 2

in the restaurant’s kitchen preparing a birthday dinner for Uncle Billy cousin Colton Lindsey and several other family members and friends That certainly wasn’t the case in March the result of a $3 million foreclosure lawsuit filed by its bank Eight months later it reopened under new ownership “We like to say that we’ve been here longer than the trout.” happy days are here again at Lindsey’s
