In many ways I think 'in a ditch' is less graphic. Phrases like that help us to avoid spelling out what we all fear is the case - that it may already be too late for poor Madeline. You see, now I'm talking about it and I'm still not spelling it out.
We have two children, the older of them is four. Mrs T and I are finding it hard to see this on the news in the evening because it makes us think how we would feel were this to happen to our family. It's just a horrible, horrible tragedy and the fact that the police appear to be closing in on suspects, yet without yet finding the little girl alive and well, makes things even worse.
