Haven't posted here in quite a while and not sure exactly what the rules are anymore about posting stuff read on facebook, but there is a lot of chatter about a man on facebook who posted something about where she was before she was found. His profile is open to public and people were making comments about things he had posted on WKRG's facebook page. He is easily searchable if you see the screenshots of things he has posted to his page in the comments. I don't know if the guy is actually here in Mobile or if he is in Kansas like he said, but there are hundreds of comments from people in the area who are very irate with the man. I just hope that people can keep their heads and not start a lynch mob.
Anyhow, I agree with what someone else said about getting Hiawayi in to their car because of the rain. I had to pick my daughter up from school in West Mobile that day and the further North I went to get to her school, the heavier the rain got. We had to slow down to 10mph on a side road because the rain was so heavy. This was between 4:05 and 4:15. The storm was moving Northeast, towards Prichard from where I was in West Mobile. I stopped by the store after I got my daughter and it was still raining heavy at 4:50. For those of you who aren't familiar with the weather here, it is quite confusing at times. It can be pouring down rain on one road, and be dry as a bone 2 roads over. But usually if a storm is moving through, you can guarantee that if it is headed your way it will dump some rain on you if you're in it's path. THe storms rarely lose much steam when moving through the area. If Hiawayi left her apartment at 4:45 like I had read in the first report then she could have gotten to the store before it started raining and gotten caught in the rain on her way back. I get the feeling from the parents that she wouldn't have gotten in to a car with a complete stranger. I really believe that whoever took her was someone that she was at least familiar with. And I also agree with those who are thinking that her body was dumped somewhere where the perp knew had already been searched. SO many people in that community were around and offering to search. There were people out searching on their own as well as organized groups of people out searching. I haven't read yet that Hiawayi's belongings were found with or near her body. I just hope that they will be found and lead police to whoever did this to her.
I'm so sad that this happened to this innocent little girl. I hope that her family is able to find peace.
