Found Deceased AL - Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney, 3, kidnapped from birthday party, Birmingham, 12 Oct 2019 #2

Unfortunately, this makes sense.

When word came out that she had been found alive, the only way I saw that happening is if they had the wrong people in custody to begin with.

The fact that these two were spotted in the area, tracked down, and then had perfect backgrounds for this sort of thing (child *advertiser censored* and kidnapping); would have had to have been a huge coincidence.

I guess it wasn’t.

Just devastating. How could LE get their wires so crossed? My opinion in credibility is slipping


Edit for wrong word

 

[Gardenista]

Weird nonchalant vibe from that PIO.

Sounds like the sheriff's office needs a new spokesperson like yesterday. For goodness sake.

 

[Mrs Marple]

Oh no. This is just awful.

 

[Considering]

This is unconscionable. Whichever member stated that there are people who heard she was found and will stop looking is correct. There are people who heard or read “found” who then turned off their TV or computer and are no longer looking for Cupcake because they believe she’s been found alive. I don’t have the words to write how I feel about this horrendous situation.

 

[Stunned]

BPD just NOW stated live that she has NOT been located. Another child, not Cupcake, was located.

Another child?

 

[PommyMommy]

I have been giving the media a lot of praise in this case to this point but today they get an "F" from me!



(News outlets including the Daily Mail are STILL tweeting that she has been found.)

It wasn’t the lead agency that screwed up, it was the sheriff.

He apparently wanted the attention that comes from being the one to break the news.

He’s sure getting attention now...

Who did they find then? They took a girl into the ambulance. What is wrong with the media here? It is so irresponsible

Wonder if the child was distressed because of the madness with the crowds & SWAT searching her home. That has to be somewhat traumatizing for a young child. Perhaps the officer held her and took her to get checked out. Who knows. What a hot mess. MOO

I was following on a Periscope live feed.

Heartbroken for Cupcake and her family.

 

[alyssa5597]

Also...did CBS 42 make up that whole speel about talking to her brother who saw her and said "she looked sad"???? That's disgusting.

Alabama Amber Alert: Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney still missing, police confirm

SMH!!

 

[MsMarple]

I'd like to know what other poor little girl was found and was being taken to the hospital to be checked out. What were the circumstances?

 

[Simply Southern]

You can’t make this **** up.

Left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.

JMO....I won't be traveling to/thur Birmingham,after this!!! This whole case is a mess.
Clearly they need to hand off to FBI.

Jmho

 

[Lillymac]

the whole exercise was weird IMO. That's what I'm calling it. MOO

This entire case is weird. It's like it's happening in slow motion...

 

[girlhasnoname]

What a royal cf this turned out to be. I have to hand it to WVTV13, they never did say cupcake had been found. They kept repeating it was unconfirmed and they didn't want to give out false information. How I hope and pray that people will realize that we all need to continue to be looking for Cupcake. She is out there somewhere.

I wonder if the POI's got news in jail that this was happening maybe from the TV? If so I wonder what their reactions were? Remember when CA saw they were searching the area near her home for Caylee?

Maybe we should all go and remove our 'incorrect' posts to save the mod from doing it and any new eyes on the thread. If we hurry, there is still time.
Actually I don't see a delete option anymore . Sorry mods.

I edited a few of mine to add in big bold letters that she has not been found. I believe you can still edit your comment for an hour after you post.

It’s important to keep in mind that the lead agency didn’t screw this up. Had they been the ones to do that, I’d absolutely agree with you.

There’s just really no words...
