Stop Child Abuse - Trace an Object

You can help us to trace an object and stop child abuse

The most innocent clues can sometimes help crack a case. The objects are all taken from the background of an image with sexually explicit material involving minors. For all images below, every other investigative avenue has already been examined. Therefore we are requesting your assistance in identifying the origin of some of these objects. We are convinced that more eyes will lead to more leads and will ultimately help to save these children.

Can you help us recognise the objects? We specifically want to trace their origin (location/country). You can help by clicking on an object you recognise and providing Europol with the information you have on the object. This can be done anonymously. Once the origin of an object is identified, we will inform the competent law enforcement authority of the involved country to further investigate this lead and hopefully speed up the identification of both the offender and the victim.

I think I may have found one. They were asking about this palm tree logo on a pillowcase. I found this hotel in India. Looks pretty similar -- same tree, same swoosh beneath. I'm wondering if maybe the pillowcase is an older version of the logo? The sheets in the hotel pics don't have a logo.

Yes, similar and could be an older version, but the lettering is off.

My guess is the final letters on the pillowcase are ERA so not a match with Hotel Green Grass.

Is that an accent mark above the final A or just a messy print job?

Accent marks could help identify the language/country and then countries narrowed down to those that have palm trees.

Looks like a messy print job, to me. And it looks like the top of an "S" to the right of it. I posted both hotel pics in reply to the Europol Tweet on this image.

I can't really tell if the lighter green at the bottom is part of the image on the pillowcase, or if it's a separate green blanket or something.

Also, what has been whited out? I'm almost afraid to ask. Kinda looks like a little bit of hair at the top of the white stuff in the center. But it's a weird shape for a head. And what's the brown stuff?

My thought exactly. I wondered if it was a blood smear.

The brown thing I think must be part of the pillowcase design or they would have whited it out too, but what is it? My first thought was that it was a heart-shaped balloon.

The green thing at the bottom seems like part of the pillowcase design too. Notice on the left that it's outlined in the same darker green as the rest of the design.
