Alleged kidnapper ‘cared’ for girl, 3,

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 16 April 2014 | 20.01

A 45-year-old man has been charged over the abduction of a three-year-old girl in central Queensland.

THE man who allegedly kidnapped a three-year-old girl had felt sorry for her and cared for her in his home for two days, a court has heard.

South Isis man Eden James Kane, 45, is charged with the Childers girl's abduction last week.

A fingerprint at the girl's house linked Kane to the crime and he later admitted to police: "I took (her) and brought her back", Bundaberg Magistrates Court heard yesterday.

Police said Kane appeared to be trying to leave Queensland when he was picked up by Maryborough police responding to a break and enter at a Bauple tennis club at 12.40am on Tuesday.

It was yesterday revealed that the alleged child abductor was not known to the girl's family and the kidnapping wasn't related to a threat against her father.

Police told court the offence appeared to have been random.

It's alleged Kane entered through a window at the girl's house some time after 2am last Thursday, and took her to his rural property about 3km away.

Eden James Kane, 45, is charged with the Childers girl's abduction last week.

He allegedly told police he cared for her at his house "for a day or two" where he washed her and shampooed her hair.

Almost two days later, following an extensive air and land search, he dropped her back at the Childers showgrounds, leaving her on a blanket.

The court heard Kane had admitted to police that "I took (her) and brought her back".

The facts were read out as police prosecutor Sergeant Donna Sperling opposed bail, even though the accused, who tried to shield his face while in the dock, had not formally applied.

Kane was apprehended by Maryborough police just after ­midnight on Tuesday morning.

At the time of his arrest, he was driving a car full of his own possessions and allegedly told police: "I had to get out of Childers because of all the heat".

Police said when questioned, he stated: "Because of the missing girl" and also admitted he was moving to Ballina in NSW.

A search of his house at Rainbows Rd, in the rural South Isis district, uncovered "items linked to (the girl)" as well as evidence of a fire in which a camera and hard drive had been burnt.

Kane is expected to formally apply for bail today, represented by the duty lawyer Thomas Bray.

However police have indicated they will oppose bail for reasons including the possibility Kane could attempt suicide.

Sgt Sperling told the court the accused had already expressed his willingness to die, telling police he did not intend to kill himself but "is prepared to die".

Kane's small brick house has been declared a crime scene.

Detective inspector Bruce McNab said police would continue the investigation as they could not rule out the involvement of others.

He said the girl had not, and would not, be asked to identify the man.
