53年ほど前のこと。オーストラリアの観光ビーチで英国人の幼女がひとり、行方不明になった。まあ…結末は知れたものとは、まあ…思われようが、実際未解決。
BBC Cheryl Grimmer case: New witness in Fairy Meadow disappearance 20 Nov 2023 By Jon Kay
家族は最近、近場に引っ越してきた。それもあってだろう、ここ最近、この誘拐事件のニュースをたまに見る。
「A potential new eyewitness has told the BBC he saw a teenage boy carrying away a small child from an Australian beach on the day a three-year-old vanished.
Police believe Cheryl Grimmer was abducted but the 53-year-old mystery has never been solved. Her family had recently migrated to Fairy Meadow in New South Wales from the UK.
The witness was seven in 1970 but said the moment was "etched in my mind".」
お兄ちゃんが面倒を見ていたが、その子が女性向け着替えルームに入ってちょっと目を離したわけだ、そのすきに行方不明になった―のであった。1970年1月12日のこと。
「In a new episode of the BBC's true crime podcast Fairy Meadow, the potential new witness gave a detailed description of seeing an adolescent male leaving the female changing rooms at the beach on the outskirts of Wollongong, about 50 miles (80km) south of Sydney.
Cheryl disappeared from the changing rooms on 12 January 1970 when her brother, who had been taking care of her, turned away for a few seconds.」
新目撃者証言はなかなか詳細。若い男が女性着替えルームから子供を腰抱えにして走り去った。子供は泣いて・叫んでいるようだった―。
―なら警察に言えや！と思いそうな所、そうまで危急のこととは思わず、しかもこのひとはオーストラリアにやってきて数週間といったところの移民で、英語もうまく話せなかった。テレビはないし新聞もわからんわけだ、そうして自分が目撃したことの意味を今まで知らずに生きてきたのだ―と。
「The possible eyewitness, who asked to keep his identity private, said: "When I glanced back at the toilet block, the profile of the guy was sort of full-stride with this baby in his arm, just kind of screaming and yelling at his hip, like low on his hip."」
「The man told the BBC: "I heard this screaming of the kid. That's what caught my ear. What was that shrieking sound? I turned around and that's what I saw."
He said that he did not tell police at the time what he had seen because he did not realise that a child had been abducted. The man said he and his family did not speak English in 1970 because they had only just arrived in Australia from eastern Europe.」
