EmailA close-knit community united in prayer today over the devastating disappearance of schoolgirl April Jones, who went missing exactly four weeks ago.
Although a massive search operation was launched in Machynlleth in mid-Wales within hours of five-year-old April's abduction and has continued unabated she has still not been found.
Dfyed Powys Police has vowed to carry searching into 2013 if need be while there's still strong community support for grieving parents Coral and Paul Jones.
April, who suffers from cerebral palsy, had been playing with friends on the evening in question and was last seen getting into what is believed to have been a Land Rover Discovery.
Local man Mark Bridger, 46, has been charged with her abduction and murder, and of unlawfully disposing of and concealing her body with intent to pervert the course of justice.
