ALAIN STAMMERS ALAIN SOBS UPBEAT MUSIC What does a sieve and most NZ homes have in common? Hundreds of tiny holes. Like water streaming through a sieve, heat streams out of houses through holes and gaps in ceilings, walls, floors and windows. Heat always finds places to escape. Add it up, and it's like having a hole this big in your wall. You can turn up the heating, but you'll just be burning money. So trap heat in with effective insulation in ceilings, walls and floors and draught-proof doors and windows. Consider curtains that go right to the floor. Here's a tip ` drawing curtains before the dark retains the heat from the day. A properly insulated house is like having a thermal blanket wrapped around your home, trapping heat in, keeping it warm and comfortable. If we all made a small effort all the time, we could save the country over $100 million in energy each year. I'll see you next time. ENGINE ROARS (YELLS) (WHIMPERS) (WHIMPERS) THUD! (WHIMPERS) THUD!

Yeah, but that's just it ` we don't have a body. More often than not, this is the case in these situations. It's the sad reality. I am sorry to say this, but the painful truth is what happened to your boy is perhaps the best you could've hoped for. Rather he died than end up in the hands of a man such as Ian Garrett or that he became one of those poor children kept captive away from sunlight and human contact > in someone's prison of a basement for` for their whole lives.
