To be honest Butterstick, I don’t want to think about what would be involved in moving a body after some weeks, if not under refrigeration.
I think there was very little supervision of the foster family in the first few days after William disappeared, due to it occurring in a small town where his Foster GM was a well known local identity.
I know small country towns. Unless you’re a total outcast ( and probably even IF, in a case like this) people rally - they care, they never think the worst. And we saw it - they came from everywhere & combed every inch of that place, they checked water tanks & drains, climbed in roofs and explored every nook & cranny. There were sniffer dogs ( no scent past the boundary), bush trackers found nothing - and they’ll find a flea on a stray dog !
I never believed that William wandered away, so initially I did buy into the ‘abduction’ theory.
However nothing about that rang true, despite all those in the area who were ‘named & shamed’, rightfully or wrongfully.
FM planted seeds that didn‘t reach me. More importantly, she failed to plant the ones that would’ve made her believable as a distraught ‘mother‘ who was determined to find their child.
And neither did they as a couple. That may be Me - may not be their fault, and may not make them guilty of anything. I’m just sharing my own thoughts on an awful situation.
but now things have taken a turn and are not going well for her / them.
IMO, if she’s truely innocent of any involvement, she’d do well now to stand on her balcony & shout to the world what honestly happened that day, and reclaim what personal attributes that may still be available to her.
