Australian Told Interpol Nothing About Kidnapping

Several days after Britt went missing, Amber gave a statement to Australia’s police, which differs from what she said in the documentary.

DUBROVNIK, CROATIA – The statement which Australian Amber gave to the Australian police differs greatly from the statement she gave in the documentary made by Australia’s Channel 7 about the Britt Lapthorne case, the Jutarnji list daily reported, saying it had in its possession Interpol’s reports and the girl’s statements. 

Amber gave a statement to the Australian police several days after Britt Lapthorne was reported missing and the Croatian Interpol Office received the translation of her statement.

The Croatian police claim Amber had lied in the documentary. According to the Jutarnji list daily, she gave a much milder version to Interpol.

The beginning of her story is the same in the statement and in the documentary. She speaks about a van advancing towards her in which there were three men. But, there is no mention of any kidnap attempt about which she spoke in the documentary.

He was ready to jump and grab Amber? 

- The man who was sitting in the back seat was leaning off the sliding doors and looked at me as if he was preparing to jump out of the vehicle – says the Interpol report, which Amber signed under criminal liability, the daily writes.

In the documentary, Amber claimed with certainty that the man had been leading out of the side door of the van and had tried to grab her. When she was asked by the host if she thought the man had tried to kidnap her, Amber said yes.

Amber continued to talk about the crowd that gathered, about men dressed in jeans and t-shirts who presented themselves as police officers. Allegedly the men approached her and her friends asking them for documents. In the end she says that a police office in uniform arrived at the scene.
