Kinnett says that, from his perspective, those guidelines weren't being followed, that he hadn't physically seen his daughter since Christmas 2014 and Jaylene hadn't let him speak with Jordyn in more than a month.
"It was like a 'Hi, bye,' thing," Kinnett said of that last talk. "It really wasn't a conversation."
Gaston County police called Kinnett shortly after Jordyn went missing. He and girlfriend, Lauren DiCosola, hadn't yet completed the 12-hour drive to North Carolina when another call came, this time informing the father that his child was found dead.
Now he wants answers. He wants to know why he'll never get to see his energetic and joyous daughter grow up, get married or even celebrate what would've been her fourth birthday Sept. 7.
"I want to know how she died and how long she was actually there," he said.
