Until more verified information is released, I'm not assuming Louisa Noyes is involved in anything, but I'm surely not assuming she is a naive mother who was blindsided by her trust in people and desire to help them. I see no evidence that this is the case, anymore than I see evidence that she was involved in a crime or a cover-up. Her working as an assistant/clerk in a consignment store says nothing more than she was employed, imo. I can think off the the top of my head of 2 women in the nursing field who were accused or convicted of killing their children, 4 doctors who were accused or convicted of killing their wives, 1 Raabi and 2 preachers who were convicted of killing their wives, and 3 police officers who were convicted of murdering family members. Imo, those are jobs that center around serving/helping others (more so than a consignment store worker), but it didn't mean that the people who held them were innocent and pure of heart.
What's been reported so far:
1. Mrs. Noyes married a man with a court history of violent threats and brought him into her home with her 13 and 11 year old daughters. Both of his brothers are registered sex offenders (at least one was convicted for sex crimes against a child).
2. Mrs. Noyes invited a 23 year old ex-convict and family friend to share the home with her new husband and her two young daughters. He was given a room in the main house while the two girls were moved to a mattress in the cellar/basement (this came from sources close to the family and the bio-dad).
3. Mrs. Noyes did not call 911 when Celina went missing; a neighbor did (this came directly from the neighbor).
4. We don't know when and by whom Celina was last seen alive (just a statement from the stepfather saying "we saw her at 9 pm" the night before the neighbor called 911).
5. Mrs. Noyes's sister said that Mrs. Noyes watched a movie with Celina the night before she was reported missing, but we don't know if she has direct knowledge of the movie-watching or if it was told to her by Mrs. Noyes are a third party.
6. Mrs. Noyes is devastated and needs her "utmost privacy" (this came from her friend who runs the consignment store).
7. Mrs. Noyes did not call the child's father when she went missing nor when she was found dead (according to the bio-dad and his mother, and he did not call Mrs. Noyes or his older daughter either - by his own admission).
Some of these reports may be inaccurate; we don't yet. Mrs. Noyes may well be naive and someone who is very trusting and therefore put her desire to help others over diligence in shielding her daughters from high risk situations, something she may sadly regret for a lifetime. However, she may also have known full well the backgrounds of the men in her life, approved, and simply prioritized her desire to gain their favor over protecting her girls. If that's the case, we don't know how far she may have been willing to go to be in their good graces.
I'm going to wait for more information from trustworthy sources in regards to if/how Mrs. Noyes, Mr. Noyes, Mr. Noyes' family, visitors to the house, and KM play into Celina's demise. I will not thud to learn that any (or a combination) are involved in the crime (directly or as accomplices). I probably will thud however if the guilty party(s) turn out to be not associated with Celina through her home.
JMO... Justice for Celina...
