Ugh I find pre-PC reporter chit chat and laughs so damn annoying!!!

Same. I literally just heard one say ‘I have 2 girls *giggles* like wth

Wow - I don't think I can recall this happening before in a child abduction. JMO

That’s a super smart and great offer.

Sounds like pending charges are coming to the POI’s. They are appealing for information from the people who were at the housing complex Saturday night. Police Chief says they know people have video, pics, and info and asking them to come forward. That confirms local speculation about residents not cooperating 100% with LE. Private citizen has added $1000 to the governors reward of $5000. Chief will elaborate on pending charges later in the day. Chief feels there are people on the sidelines with information. Chief asked if this is random, and if she is still in area. He didn’t confirm or deny either. Asked about info if she was in vehicle, he said he would comment later today. Asked about rumors on social media, he just said will follow the evidence but they monitor social media.

That’s it,..

Okay, so this evening looks like we may get some answers regarding the POI’s. According to presser. MOO

Asked about a reward offered by the father... chief said he can’t speak to that. Said they are offering a real reward with real backing. Dang...

Alright, so basically they haven’t found her yet, still actively working it, gave information about rewards, Chief said “he has no indication that she is not still NOT in the area, biggest news is they will be filing charges later today. As for random vs targeted still not ruling anything out.

Moo

Asked about the 48 hour hold ending tonight, whether suspects will be released. Chief says he expects his department will handle its business.

Sounds like it.

 

[distracted]

IMO, the two in custody handed her off to someone else and no one knows where that person took this sweet baby.

The charges coming later today will be telling.

Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith is live on #WVTM13 right now with an update on the kidnapping of 3-year-old Kamille McKinney.

Chief Smith is pleading for information from the community. He says this is not just a community problem, but a statewide problem. #WVTM13



Chip Scarborough on Twitter

D.A. Danny Carr has been working with Governor Ivey’s Office on a $5,000 reward that is now being offered for information that leads to Kamille and the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

A private citizen has also offered an extra $1,000 reward. Chief Smith says he believes there are people sitting on the sideline who may have information that could help investigators.

Well, he didn’t actually say charges would be filed but there would be an update later today about pending charges

I'm hoping to see a probable cause statement released this afternoon. Maybe we will get some answers.

This is telling. His reaction spoke volumes on this question IMHO.

 

[MsFacetious]

Gonna be very interesting when we have these names tonight. The thread will either be inundated with stuff we’ve already found on the POIs or we will be stunned into silence if we’ve never heard the names!

Hopefully with the charges I think are coming comes an announcement that Cupcake is safe as well.

State of Alabama Governor Proclamation for Cupcake. Go Alabama, set the precedent for all states, ALL missing & exploited children deserve this!! MOO

Not sure this sets precedence for all states. Most states don't require Governor approval for a reward.

JMHO....
