Video: Lanterns lit in Machynlleth for missing April Jones Tributes were paid to the memory of missing five-year-old April Jones as Chinese lanterns were released into the sky above her home town of Machynlleth overnight. Well-wishers lit candles and launched the symbolic glowing lights at around 7pm on Monday after the girl's parents asked for her to be remembered one week on from her disappearance. Their private remembrance came several hours after the five-year-old's alleged killer was remanded by magistrates. Mark Bridger, 46, faces three charges in connection with the disappearance and murder of April Jones. Following the court appearance, police admitted that they may never find April's body. Supt Ian John, who has headed the investigation from the outset, said: "We have to prepare for the time when we accept that we might never find April."
