Sheep Disappearance Mystery Grows

It must be the Big Bad Wolf...or Dick Chaney.

Swiss police are investigating after a flock of 90 sheep vanished from a remote Alpine pasture - for the second time.

It is the second time in a year that the flock has vanished, leaving no traces of their whereabouts.

After the first time, farmer Silvano Bacciarini, from the Magadino plain in Tessin, had to buy entirely new animals.

A baffled police spokesman admitted: "The only way to the pasture is by a remote track - the sheep were not driven away as there was no foot prints, nor was a lorry driven to the meadow.

"Yet we searched by helicopter and there is no sign of the animals anywhere."
