Anyone know Stacey and Ellie Hall from Leeds?

I'm sure there's not more than 1 Stacey and Ellie Hall from Leeds so how can It be hard to track down

If its all over the news in that local area, Papers, TV, News etc someone must know Ellie and Stacy and know where the live.

Hoax, explains why they couldn't find anything. But they have to follow it up as it might not of of been.

Good out come, far better than the alternative.
They need a good clip round the ears.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by those two girls.

It's quite funny reading some of the comments on Sky (and here) about the police being useless and slow, when actually the whole thing was made up, and they did end up finding the hoaxers (or perhaps the hoaxers confessed).
 
I think it must have been amazingly frustrating for them. They will have been thinking to themselves "Common sense tells me this is a hoax" closely followed by: "But just in case it isn't" and either way will probably end up looking foolish to most, whatever the outcome.
 
What on earth has contacting a network operator to obtain call/sms history got to do with getting a computer virus?

In fact, I'd have thought it probably wouldn't even be the emergency service operator that could do such a thing given that records like that would be subject to the DPA?

I know your suggestion about connecting emergency service operators to the web for Google Maps was shot down but there's no need to be ridiculous about it.

I'm not being ridiculous - the technology exists (and has done for some time). Not making it easily accessible to the emergency services is detrimental to their ability to efficiently dispatch aid to those who need it. My suggestion was "shot down" whereby I gave an alternative solution to negate the threat of intrusion, funnily enough none of the naysayers bothered to acknowledge that however. :rolleyes:

Thankfully (I guess!) in this case it was a hoax, but imagine this was a real scenario and the little girl wasn't found for several days (or worse) because of some bureaucratic nonsense preventing the emergency services from getting access to the information they need?

Anyway, the hoaxers need a few weeks in prison. Complete scum!
 
When I heard the clip on the news earlier today it didn't sound like a four year old to me. Not surprised in the least that it turned out to be a hoax. Still, it's not like the police or 999 operator couldn't take it seriously - but they must have had their doubts from the the outset too.

It says they were on the phone for 33 minutes - and they couldn't trace that?? Can't the AA trace you in a minute if you call them and don't know where you are??
 
I thought as soon as you make any call to anyone, a room full of people watch a progress bar fill up while a computer works out where you are on a grayscale map.

That doesn't work. The progress bar only gets as far as 99% - no matter how long the call. And the "I'm just here to throw my headset on the desk and shout 'damnit!'" guy throws his headset on the desk and shouts "damnit!"
