Police have been granted extra time to question a man on suspicion of abducting
five-year-old April Jones from a village in mid-Wales. 

The child still hasn't been found - and her family are becoming increasingly
concerned about her health.

All five year olds are vulnerable. But April Jones has cerebral palsy and
other medical conditions. 

Without her medication, she's likely to be in considerable difficulty. 

She's been missing since Monday night, and the concern for her health is
growing. 

46-year-old Mark Bridger is in custody on suspicion of abducting her - police
have been given until tomorrow afternoon to question him. 

But Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan says the first priority is finding the
child.

Detectives have taken the unusual step of confirming the suspect's identity,
and releasing photographs of his blue Land Rover Discovery, registration number
L503 MEP.

They've reiterated their call for anyone who saw the vehicle on Monday - or
who's had recent contact with Mark Bridger - to come forward. 

It's an appeal echoed by the Prime Minister.

Police have refused to be drawn on whether Mark Bridger has provided them with
valuable information, but they have admitted that they don't yet have the FULL
picture of his movements on the night April went missing. 

And they've been at pains to point out that other lines of inquiry remain
open.

Dyfed Powys Police have also expressed their gratitude to the hundreds of
volunteers who have helped search for the little girl.
