good point. I hadn't considered that angle
I mean, we've seen countless other "parents" of children who were first claimed to be runaways, initially get on tv and plead for their safe return. Only to learn in time that these "parents" had killed them.
What's odd about this is London's biological mother says she hasn't seen London since 2001, and Avantae adopted London in 2011, so presumably this photo originated from Avantae in some way and was shared with London's biological mother... so why couldn't LE get a more recent photo (or even that same 2011 photo) from the Deven family?

'I thought she didn't want to see me': Missing Fayetteville woman's mother prays remains are not her daughter's
well shoot, I am posting the link to the image properly but it doesn't want to take. so the photo her mom provided that she dates around 2011 can be found at the linked article.
there seems to be a pattern. For someone who regularly fostered and adopted children, she has apparently kept few photos over the years. I personally find that very odd, particularly for children she went to the trouble of adopting, who wouldn't have gone on to reside at other foster settings after having spent time with Ava.
Some of your questions are answered in the article you linked - within the timeline and also in the press conference video. But the important core questions remain unanswered.
Looks like WRAL's article-writers are getting a little sloppy. The photo is from 2011, but Chris Lovingwood says in this video that bio mom hasn't seen her since 2001. Lovingwood has been pretty involved in this case, and I believe 2001 is the correct year, and the article you've linked was confusion on the writer's part about the photo. 2001 also matches up with what London's biological mother has said, and the photos she has shared that are of her with London.
Crazy stuff. It's possible any children Avantae's parents birthed were born under the radar and don't have any true identity. Just my opinion here.

Wow, what a bombshell !!! Looks like they can't locate AD, at this point.In an over eight-minute recording punctuated with sighs, a story peppered with inconsistencies emerges in the 911 call.
Before the Devens moved to Fayetteville, it appears Avantae Deven was living in Buncombe County — IRS tax records show her living in Enka, an unincorporated community there, while she was the registered agent for a nonprofit called the Infinity Institute from 2011 to 2016.
The Infinity Institute was established in Nevada by Robert Adams, a teacher of a philosophy of Hinduism called Advaita Vedanta, in 1996, according to the nonprofit’s website and Nevada state records.
Property records show an LLC created in New Mexico owns Avantae Deven’s Berriedale Drive home. According to records from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s website, Avantae Deven registered the LLC, called Nelson & Johnson, under a Sedona, Arizona, address in September 2016. The LLC’s purpose was listed as “gatherings for various artists [sic] showings and book sharing/readings.”
“He is generally religious, and he used to go back and forth about a Buddhist retreat, and meditation, things like that,” Avantae Deven says. “My daughter did that once for six months, and she called, so I thought, OK. He’s very independent and high-strung and very bossy, so it’s not very unlikely of his character.”
Avantae Deven tells the operator her son doesn’t have any medical or mental health conditions, apart from being diagnosed with what she calls “sporadic encephalopathy” when he was younger. Encephalopathy is damage or disease to the brain, leading to a change in mental state.
She said her teenager went to a ‘Buddhist retreat.’ Now, he’s been missing for 632 days
The woman said she hadn’t seen her son for over a year.
Where did you go to listen to the call?
