This mother is NOT a poi, suspect, etc. But this situation is nothing like little Faye who was snatched & murdered feet from her front yard by a stranger in a 15 minute blink.
Idk what happened here- many odd details. But WS is full of cases “too terrible” that were artificially constructed, so I don’t think anything’s a safe bet. Alaska, imho, still has a bit of a wild west spirit. Charges may never be considered. In other states they would. Hence the nationwide discrepancy with the handling of death of a child in a hot car. Sometimes charges are brought, sometimes not- with circumstances that run the full range of the gamut.
My concern from day 1 has been that a child went missing, then died, in totally avoidable horrific circumstances. A COD of hypothermia would not necessarily indicate accidental MOD. And if final COD/MOD is hypothermia/ accidental, I’d think family would want to release that just to terminate speculation in other directions. Moo
