I wonder if the fosterparents are on septic or sewer at their own residence. In the beginning, people were enquiring as to whether WT even made the trip to grandmother's house in the first place. Everything about this case is so weird.. surprise visit.. arriving in the evening.. first thing next morning, he disappears into thin air from a neighbourhood with expansive yards that would provide an easy view for any stranger lurking or driving about, yet nothing is seen or heard from anywhere, not exactly a target area for a ped, and not exactly a route well travelled that someone would be driving just by chance.. dad just happens to be out at the time.. dogs don't catch any scent of him.. not a trace is ever found of him anywhere... and now I'm wondering if septic was ever pumped?
Add-on: I just wanted to add that in the Noah Thomas case, LE did not want to believe, imho, that the parents had anything to do with his disappearance either (they were urging the public not to jump to conclusions, and stating how devastated the family was, etc).. the septic lid was on, and the sod was on top, as it should be, so why check it, since, if he had fallen in, the lid would be ajar, the sod would not be neatly back on top, if you aren't suspecting the parents? But after the searches started and found nothing, dogs found no trace past the driveway, finally on day 5 they apparently made the decision to pump that tank, and look what they found. Just for sheer peace of mind, that would be the first thing I'd want to be done. MOO
He was on the bottom. I would feel so much better if LE could reassure us all that every septic in that neighborhood was checked top to bottom.
