As for the blanket, I really haven't drawn any personal conclusions as to why I think it was found in the condition it was, I just have a plethora of possibilities, one of which I will share since I am not sure it has been discussed at length. Victims of sexual abuse are dehumanized by their abusers, the abuser wants total power and they find joy in making the abused suffer. That being said, it is a possibility Shaniya was being kept locked away in a closet or such, only being allowed out when the abusers saw fit. She may have been kept there for long periods of time, or as punishment for being uncooperative. She may have been locked away clothed or unclothed, with a blanket or without, but if she was unable to get to a restroom to relieve herself due to this circumstance, it could be another theory as to the soiled blanket. I know there are many possible scenarios, but I also feel this one carries weight.
