Lily Furneaux is my big one I followed.
Her stepmom had been abusing her, Dad sided with stepmom and Mom was threatened with losing custody if she kept complaining to the judge. She had decided she was only going to let her go one more time and then take drastic action. Lily didn't return alive. Her last memory of her daughter is her begging Mommy not to make her go. Stepmom was convicted, Dad was never charged.
There were a few others around the same time but none did interviews. Most of the ones I can think of were not concealed. They were just taken to the hospital after it was too late to save them with lies about what occurred.
Most of the ones I can think of who were hidden and have been found it was stepdad and mom or dad and stepmom that did it together. Ethan buried in the mountains, (I still remember watching them bring his body down the mountain.) Bella put in water, Riley put in water, Malik buried in a field next to an abandoned house.
Maybe there are studies out there? It's so hard to remember details of so many cases. I definitely agree a lot ended up in water. Not sure that would apply in this case though. Not sure how much maternal instinct Emily has.
Of course there are many that are still mysteries and I can't remember which ones had step parents now. Haileigh of course. Ayla, Aliayah... there is just so many I can't remember them all. :tantrum:
I'm sure someone else will remember several that involved the stepmom, or were the stepmom alone but I'm drawing a blank besides Malik. I can picture a hundred kids in my mind. However, I did not retain the information about their killers very well. :thinking:
Thank you for the response, MsF.
