It's been a while but I had to get on and see your thoughts on Malik. I'm so beyond frustrated-the Searcy PD and volunteers are so worn out and disheartened. My oldest daughter and I left out to join the search on Tuesday night but volunteers were sent home. I just wish the most basic questions would at least get answered: have both parents' homes been searched top to bottom? Have they brought in forensics at all? Cadaver dogs in BOTH houses? And most importantly has anyone other than the mom, dad, or girlfriend came forward and said when he was last seen? My gut is telling me he went missing way before. I know there are constant camera crews on scene...why aren't these parents begging and pleading for his return? It's the same old story :(

It sounded from numerous MSM broadcasts that they searched not only all the homes of everybody related to Malik thoroughly, but others' homes in the neighborhood, which I also took to mean any RSO's in the area, not said, but in so many words. The lie detector tests rendered to family members and spoken of publicly, I think, was meant to depict how thorough LE has been, in checking out the family, with complete due diligence. There were also numerous reports of cadaver dogs being brought in, sniffing out the Dad's truck and around the house, with no results. You're great to participate and care with such deep commitment. However bad things get, it's people like you that give me hope.

Anyone subscribed to this publication who may be able to post the interesting text?

It seems all has gone eerily quiet on this case, from an information standpoint anyway. Praying for you Malik!

There hasn't really been any good info from the start. Conflicting stories and no Malik...and the same again the next day.
 
I'm sure LE has their own thought on this, but their first duty was to try to find this baby. The two last with him should be carefully eyeballed. This child did not wander so far that nobody saw him wandering and did nothing. I don't feel the predator scenario either. It's so similar to poor Myra's case.
Just MOO.
 
This is just bizarre a 2 year old does not disappear into thin air. I wonder what the results of the lie detectors were, atlthough I don't have much faith in them. O/T but I was watching a true crime story where the mom failed a lie detector and it ended with her being non deceptive to authorities. That is the trouble with them, if you pass you're still not cleared if you fail you're in some trouble.
 
Knowing that the father lost a child (due to a car crash, I believe it was?) prior, I have a difficult time believing he would do anything to take the life of Malik. The death of your child is something that would be unbearable to go through twice.

The stepmom, on the other hand, I'm not sure about.

I keep leaning towards an accident happened while the dad was asleep and she panicked and covered it up with this story.

JMO of course.

This ^^ on so many cases, we are led to believe the baby just went ' poof'. Not so! If the baby had wandered off on his own and got into some trouble or injured, he would be FOUND by now. He did not hide himself away indefinitely on his own. DID NOT HAPPEN!
 
Yes I agree ^^

Someone is lying, the question is who?? I hope LE will soon shed some light on what THEY believe.

I just don't know. The story keeps changing and the fact that one of the twins stayed behind...it just seems so odd.

Thanks for bringing that up; it's bugging me too.

I don't know much about twin behavior, let alone the behavior of these particular twins so I can only go by my own experience. My two youngest are two and a half years apart (now grown) and if one walked out the door the other would have kicked up quite a fuss - bang on the door, cry, go get mom or dad.

Unfortunately we don't have info on the latch mechanism so I can only speculate. If Malik could open the door but his sister couldn't then she couldn't follow him unless she was close enough before it closed. However, it's a little unexpected that she apparently had no reaction to him leaving the house other than to point at the door when asked where Malik went.

Again, just speculation and all MOO...
 
Saying a child is autistic when in fact he is not diagnosed could have multiple causes. My major theories...

1. He's autistic; he's just not yet been evaluated. At the time that Malik went missing, they had started to suspect, maybe scheduled an appointment, but hadn't actually gotten official word. That would be a very innocuous reason to tell the police he's autistic--because if they're sure enough, then it is relevant information. Two is around the age of diagnosis for autism in areas where awareness is high and medical care is available, and it's a good age because children at two can get a head start on learning important coping skills that will be invaluable as they grow.

2. He's not autistic, but they've been watching the news. They know how much local publicity young autistic kids get when they leave their homes and get lost. They want to take advantage of that, and they're saying he's autistic because they want their little boy back and they'd be willing to swear up and down that he was an alien from Jupiter if only it would improve the chances that the searchers would find him.

3. He's not autistic, and there's foul play involved; the autism claim is part of the cover-up. The boy was abducted or killed, and the perpetrator knows that autistic children are at risk from wandering. They want this case to be seen as yet another autistic child dead too young--a tragedy but not a crime. Or maybe they are claiming he's autistic as a way of justifying their actions perhaps either to themselves or to the public.

That third possibility is the one that scares me the most, because I know of other cases where a perpetrator claimed that a non-autistic child was autistic:
Marquail Johnson: Went missing and was found dead in a refrigerator. Family said he was autistic but no diagnostic paperwork could be found. His death is an unsolved homicide.
Daniel Pelka: Died from child abuse. His father claimed that it wasn't worth beating Daniel because he was autistic and wouldn't feel pain. He wasn't autistic; he was just learning English as a second language.
Lexie Agyepong-Glover: Died from being left in a freezing creek in January by her adoptive mother, who claimed she was autistic and wandering. The town turned out to search for her. Only later was it revealed that Lexie had RAD, not autism, and that she had not wandered off but had been deliberately abandoned and left for dead.

There are also a few deaths where actually autistic children were killed and their parents tried to disguise it as a wandering case, usually by putting the body into a pool or pond, and a few deaths where autistic children known to be at risk for wandering were left deliberately unattended by parents who either didn't care or actually wanted the child to die.

I really hope this is a family abduction case, and that little Malik is hidden away somewhere, confused but safe and warm.
 
RUMOR ALERT - Comments on the SPD FB page say the step mom is in jail. The police dept has been pretty deligent about deleting rumors, etc. but that one has remained a couple of hours...

We have the same theory. I wonder if dad has red flags about girl friends story.
 
I was hoping I would log in and see our little man was found safe! Where could this boy be? There is just no way he wander off. Not anymore. Someone would have found him by now. I hate to say this, but dead or not he would of been found. JMO. I still have a bad feeling as we get closer to his home if you KWIM. Ugh....we all had turkey and all the fixings on Thanksgiving. I honestly had Malik on my mind all day. I felt bad eating a delicious dinner when he is only G** only knows. This sweet boy.....where are you Malik?
