As a police foundations Grad who is pursuing her post grad in CSI / forensics I actually have hope for this little girl.
Here is why:
IMO I think hailey was the target, (to take her, not harm her) dad woke up, and died fighting for his baby. Suspect(s) flee OR suspect(s) didn't have the heart to hurt Hailey but couldn't leave her behind.
Which brings me to the Amber alert being renewed, if they didn't have a shred of hope that she is still alive they would cancel the alert, they would do this to maintain the integrity of the alert program, it's protocol.
I say suspect(s) because someone may be "holding" Hailey, or she was stolen for someone (if that makes sense) which is why they are not releasing the name or many deets surrounding the suspect or if the van is 100% related. They do this so whomever may have her will still think they are "okay" and not do anything crazy like harm Hailey.
ALSO the fact they only have a suspect in custody without charges laid means they have not established facts in issue to build their prima facie case for prosecution.
All of this is MY opinion based on the knowledge I gained during my education in Ontario.
In the Calgary case of Nathan O'Brien, his Amber Alert was not lifted for fifteen days, and that occured on the same day that a suspect was arrested and was to be charged with his murder. We later learned that LE had determined that Nathan (and his grandparents) had been killed in their home before their disappearance. In spite of this, the Amber Alert remained in effect until the arrest. I hope this case is different, and that the Amber Alert is a positive sign that there is hope for her recovery.
