I'm gonna go out on a wild speculation and guess that there's absolutely no way she could have walked there. A scenario come to mind, one of which sounds more realistic: a) the guardian staged this for whatever reason. This child was last seen at 1am when she 'went to bed'. Now this could mean 2 things. She actually *went to bed* at this hour, or maybe she was asleep on the couch, and her guardian brought her to her bed where she would technically be 'last seen'. I don't have a rationale as to why this 'guardian' would do this, but there's no way that a 6 year old would have done this on her own. I mean HOW?? There are so many safety risks! Do you mean to tell me that if she DID walk out on her own, that it wouldn't look strange to a passerby or even a car driving by to see a small child walking the streets by herself? Seems strange. Not only that, but her street smarts - what about those? What about crossing intersections? Is she of the knowledge to be able to do that safely? What is the likelihood of her doing this safely without assistance/reminders to 'look both ways'. How does she know? Does she know how to tell the difference between walk and don't walk signs when cars have the right of way to turn left?
I know I'm going off on a tangent, but this case is bothering me because none of it makes sense. I'm hoping we will be provided with an explanation in the coming days.
This is all just speculation. IMHO.
