What if the candy was taken that day? I still find it odd, even after your explanation Mom, that the mother would mention the candy missing. She hadn't noticed the candy missing before that day? Sorry to keep going back to the candy folks.
When they have a missing person they ask for every detail about the person and the home. And just to set the record straight, mom didn't mention the candy, it was mentioned in the context of how a private group was going to search and what they do with any evidence they find. I think the candy wrapper was more significant in that it tells anyone out there if they find anything to leave it and let LE handle it. Even something as simple as a candy wrapper can be evidence.
When my sister disappeared I was stunned at the questions we were asked. They even asked me if any of my stuff was missing, like clothing or perfume or feminine products. They asked my parents to think about what kind of food she liked, did she floss every day, etc. My parent's noticed a towel was missing and I noticed a pair of socks and a sweater missing. Unfortunately we found out months later the stuff was in the lost and found at the high school and had been for months. They even asked when my sister's menstrual cycle was and whether she was on birth control. They check everything. So it doesn't surprise me Mom would notice some missing halloween candy. What would be significant about it is whether it's three bags of mini hershey bars or a few mini hershey bars. Kids always sneak into candy, it's the amount that's missing that would determine if she were trying to take enough to subsist off.
