I can't understand why the mother declined to be interviewed. If any of my children were missing you can bet I would be in front of the cameras begging and pleading for their safe return. I hate being in front of a camera, but that would go out the window the second something happened to someone I love.
It definitely seemed like the grandmother was regular care giver for Aleah. One thing she said got me thinking. She said something about if she didn't go in there right away when she got to the house Aleah would holler for her. It just makes it sound like she was always in her room. Like she wasn't included with the family.
The grandma also said that the mother is always cleaning the room to make sure it's ready for Aleah to come home. What is she cleaning up?
Something that's been bothering me since the beginning is the picture of her. They keep using the same photo. There are very few pictures of her and many of them seem old. Why? As a mother of 3 there is no shortage of photos. Admittedly you'll find more pictures of the baby than the other 2, but there is always a hand full of recent images of all my children.
I also live in Evansville and had an appt right near their neighborhood this morning so I decided to drive around a bit. They have said that they are handing out fliers and hanging them up, but I didn't see a single one in that neighborhood. I drove by where they said they'd be set up for volunteers to check in to search and no one was there. All that was in that parking lot was a few torn up Aleah posters. Also, all the parking near their house is street parking. Not many homes have driveways. That being said, if someone took her and put her in a vehicle, it would have had to been there a while to ensure a parking spot or they would have had to carry her a distance to where ever the car may have been.
Sorry for the long post, just some of my thoughts/speculations
Good (but sad) observations. I too wondered about the photo and the constant cleaning of the room. What's up with that? Sounds totally off. Thanks for scoping out the area for us too.
