If Willow's mother would have told LE she had not seen her daughter since the night before when she left them in the care of her brother, imo, LE would have then turned their questions to the brother. IIRC, in the probable cause statement released to the media, LE began interviewing Justin...
IOW, since her daughter was murdered, we should ignore she gave LE wrong information to try to make herself look like a better mother leading to hundreds of manpower hours from several LE departments (tax payer $$), fire and rescue dept (tax payer $$) and volunteer searchers who endured the heat...
At this point, I think she lied to make herself look better in the eye of LE.
IIRC, she said she called her brother when she discovered Willow missing (I think). Does that mean she was sleeping and Willow's 3 year old brother was on his own?
Sad, very sad.

Wow just saw the news article on FB. http://www.wics.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_14621.shtml
I know many expressed their concerns about the mother's story when it hit the news. I have racked my brain to come up with an reasonable explanation why she would lie about seeing Willow that...

At 2:27 on the clock under Thursday, September 19: http://www.thexradio.com/news/77-news-audio-on-demand/78-audio-on-demand-today-s-local-news-archives reports "we will be in court today and have a report for you as soon as soon the hearing has ended."
I am the mother of 2 children, 1 is special needs. If either one of my children 'disappeared', my life would be an open book. If LE wanted a detailed description of every place I had been, every person I talked to in my adventures for the evening, it is theirs!!!
Before anyone asks, yes, we...
I agree he probably would not have been allowed to be a part of the physical search, but there are other things he could have done to help. I have seen family members of missing children hand out bottles of water, help register volunteer searchers, pass out fliers. IOW, they were involved.
He...
Only a guess.....the family had to move out of the house when LE put crime tape around it late Monday night.
Video showing crime scene tape around the house can be seen here: http://fox2now.com/2013/09/09/7-year-old-girl-missing-from-effingham-county-in-illinois/
A change of venue for a grand jury is pretty rare, I think. Grand jurors are usually meet once a month and serve for a year.
They only have so many court rooms, so many judges and so many hours in a day. Years ago when called, everyone had to report and would sit all day until the judge would...
Just a thought...what if this was not the first time the Uncle had tried this with Willow? What if this time she threatened to tell?
School had only been in session for a couple of weeks, do they teach children what to do about inappropriate touching and what to do if it happens to them?

Maybe I should have finished my thought:
If Mom had told the truth about not seeing the children that morning, the investigation would have immediately focused on the last adult who did see them, their uncle. This would have saved the physical and emotional stress for Willow's family and the...
