Police could have found kidnapped Shannon Matthews after one day rather than three weeks, if they had listened to the sister of the man who abducted her, she has claimed

The sister of Mick Donovan has claimed in a new documentary that her pleas were ignored by the force at the start of the £3.2 million hunt for Shannon, then aged 9, in 2008 in the town of Dewsbury, in Yorkshire.

Now Donovan's sister has said that Shannon's three and a half week ordeal could have been over after a single day if police had listened to her. West Yorkshire Police has denied the claims. A spokesperson said they “conducted a thorough investigation into the kidnap”.Another relative, who did not want to be named, said he told Crimestoppers after the search started. "I thought it were a bit strange,” he said. “I believed he had Shannon, so went round. He wouldn’t let me in.”Shannon was eventually found after the relative told police that they should go to see Donovan.
