'Karen Matthews should have served more time': Beat bobby who was friends with the woman who led search for Shannon says justice WASN'T served.

Matthews was jailed for eight years but released in 2012 after serving half.

The police officer involved in the search for Shannon Matthews says her mother Karen should have 'served more time' for staging the youngster's kidnap.

PC Steve Kinchin pounded the beat in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorkshire, when nine-year-old Shannon went missing in 2008 and was in regular contact with search campaign leader Julie Bushby.

Shannon was found weeks after she disappeared, drugged and inside the base of a double bed a mile away from where she was last seen.

The true story of Shannon Matthews’s disappearance - and where are they now .

A missing nine year old girl. A devastated family. A £3.2 million police hunt. A miraculous discovery of the girl safe and sound. Then a twist - her mother is arrested for her kidnapping.

It is no wonder that the case of Shannon Matthews gripped the nation back in 2008. Her disappearance lasted for 24 days and brought together hundreds in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire as they hunted for her.

The happy ending, as she was found safe and alive, took on another dimension as it was discovered that her mother Karen Matthews had known where she was all along. In 2009, she was jailed for eight years for Shannon’s kidnapping.
