Rahma was between two of her sisters on a double bed under the window. She had trouble sleeping in the heat and her father got up and went to check on her at 2 AM. When he returned at 8 AM, she was gone.Cite web

However, there was a rip in the fly-screen covering the window above her bed, and this opening was large enough for Rahma to fit through. [Cite news

In May, 2007, New Idea magazine offered a $20,000 (AUS) reward for information on what happened to Rahma. The magazine's editor-in-chief Robyn Foster says it was the similarities between Rahma and the highly publicised case of Madeleine McCann that sparked her interest in the case.Cite web
