Not even remotely similar, imo. And it's clear that her mother was not suspected because she was in the gym with her 4yo son at the time. People must have seen both her and the girl there, then they saw only the Mom.
snip and bbm from the articles linked:
14-year-old Deanie Peters disappeared from her little brother's wrestling practice at Forest Hills Central Middle School

Deanie was at the middle school with her mother to attend a wrestling clinic for youngsters, including her 4-year-old brother. At some point, she crossed the gym floor and exited a doorway. Stories differ as to whether she was headed to the restroom, sneaking out for a cigarette or bound for a friend's nearby home.
I can't really tell what the point of this thread is wrt Kyron's case by the title. Is it to show that a stranger abduction FROM INSIDE the school is likely, or a very remote possibility? We all know that many abductions involve children on their way to/from school. But most abductions FROM school are not by strangers. I don't think there can be any legitimate dispute that stranger abductions from inside a school are uncommon. In fact, they almost never happen. That's one of the things that makes this case so remarkable.
So what are the posts in this thread driving at?
Since I'm the one who brought up Deanie Marie Pyle Peters, I'd like to defend my choice to do so. I responded to the original topic, which states to give examples of abductions that have happened within, outside or enroute to school. I happened to remember Deanie's case from looking through the Charley Project awhile ago and did a search here on WS just to double check that no one had already mentioned it on this thread.
As far as I know, the criteria for coming up with an example did not include that everything had to be identical to the Kyron case. Deanie was 14 years old. And? She was not a troubled teen and they ruled out pretty quickly any chances of her being a runaway. This happened while there was a busy event going on within the school. Sure, it was after school as opposed to the morning. Yes, the mother had an obvious alibi sitting in the crowd with her other son. It still meets the criteria of her being abducted in or around the school.
Also, I don't know if you have had the time to read the websleuths thread on that topic. But, there are some interesting things there, including that it did not come out until several years later that Deanie had been having problems with some girls (picking on her) over some boy. Incidentally, one of the girls involved in that was related to an officer who had been originally assigned to the case. Again, I am obviously not saying that Kyron would be in that type of situation. Just that it is good to look back at cold cases, cases that happened in a similar type of environment and see maybe where things went wrong (overlooking things) so that it does not happen again.
