Missing Katrice Lee's Mum 'Harassed' On Facebook

Donna Wright is charged after allegedly sending messages to Sharon Lee, whose daughter Katrice disappeared in Germany in 1981

By Gerard Tubb, North of England Correspondent
A woman has been charged with harassing the mother of toddler Katrice Lee, who disappeared on a shopping trip in Germany more than 31 years ago.

Donna Wright, 33, from Spennymoor, County Durham, is accused of sending emails and Facebook messages to Sharon Lee, who is campaigning to have her daughter's disappearance reinvestigated.

Katrice went missing in 1981 on her second birthday as her mother and aunt were food shopping at the NAAFI store on a British army base in Paderborn where her father Richard, from Hartlepool, was stationed.

Mrs Lee believes Katrice is still alive and marched to Downing Street two months ago on the anniversary of her disappearance demanding action.

Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court heard that Miss Wright, who did not appear, has been bailed for two weeks on condition she does not contact any member of the Lee family.

The case was adjourned until January 16.

Last month the Crown Prosecution Service launched a public consultation on prosecutions involving social media following a number of high profile cases.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, also published interim guidelines which he said were intended to "strike the balance between freedom of expression and the need to uphold the criminal law".

An image of how Katrice could look now, aged 33, has been created by a charity which helps find missing people.

Donna Wright? That name rings a bell; is she known in this corner of the internet?

donna wright, shame on you.

Let's hope this is a sign that these disgusting trolls are finally going to be dealt with by the law.

That is a most odd case - a NAAFI on a military base should be just about the safest place in the world, but somehow, some scumbag managed to snatch the little girl and get away with her.

I hope Mrs Lee gets some answers this year; it must be Hell to not know what happened to her daughter, all these years. And yes, there is a chance she is still alive.

bb1, I agree with you.

It might stop them posting on FaceBook but it won't stop them posting on Public Forums. What they do in Private Forums is of no interest to me.

But haven't they gotten mighty upset for being put on a Hate List.

Clearly, none of them own mirrors.
