Could maybe be a Smart Car! My kid swears they look like tiny shrunken vans. (Obviously being facetious here and do not think it’s a smart car).

another small vehicle that actually DOES resemble a baby minivan, is the Honda Fit. The doors are typical doors, but they have a hatchback? A recent model:



A 2007 model:

I dont feel like enough emphasis was placed on law enforcements request for video and pictures etc taken in the area on 9/16/19. Actually I would think days leading up to 9/16 & after 9/16 could be beneficial too.
HOW THE COMMUNITY CAN HELP:
"...From checking photos and videos on their cellphones, to detecting suspicious behavior of possible offenders, the FBI and police continue to encourage the public to offer tips and to take other measures that might help in the investigation..."

Thank you for posting a working link! I didn't check the link like I normally do before posting, my apologies.

No problem!

What happened to the red van theory? Was she not taken by a red van driver, or any driver? When did it all change?

That's weird, given the kerfuffle over the video of said van (or van-resembling SUV) being shown, then removed by NBC10.com, and still available on Telemundo.

Maybe LE located the vehicle in question?

I think that's why she stayed in the car with her niece to help with homework,while letting the younguns play,and spend their energy. She knows what it feels like to not have her education,and does not want anyone else to feel that way. So she does the best she can to ensure her niece gets a leg up she doesn't have.
MOO.

We don’t know whether she finished high school or earn a GED or anything though, right? I have an extremely hard time tying the homework to her leaving tiny kids alone to play. If she only stayed in the car to help the girl with homework, how come she couldn’t sit at the playground and help her? Or do the homework after the park? I think the homework issue was just an excuse to be honest. She stayed in the car because she wanted to.

 

[Beekarina]

Well this is even stranger....

 

[SuperTmo]

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> they removed the story and so did all the others... Whether they posted it first or not is irrelevant, as it was removed for a reason. If LE hasn’t confirmed, it is no better than a Facebook rumor,IMO. Nobody should have it until LE gives context to it. Moo

Still no mention of the vehicle. I would think it would take some time to view all the surveillance footage using technology so they can get a close look at the vehicle, or maybe even see who is inside.
It could take some time. They probably haven't even received all the available footage yet.
Imo

Well, maybe if this red van has now been officially discounted that is the reason references have been removed.

Wonder when we will hear what police are focusing on now?

Haha I will need to show her that! A microvan. Smaller than a minivan!

True! It was the late arrival of a home surveillance video in the Mollie T case that broke it wide open & nailed CBR. Sometimes ppl don’t even realize they have something of value until they let LE study it.

Hmm.. and what does it mean for the red SUV in the video? Is that also out or is this the start of a pivot from a van to the SUV?

 

[MsMarple]

IMO LE needs to hold a press conference. All this confusion isn't helping Dulce.

 

[claudianunes]

I'm only going by what is written.

In the images, the vehicle is seen when it enters the five-acre park at about 4:20 p.m. and leaves around 4:24 p.m., a period that coincides with the moment when the Mexican-born girl would have disappeared.

is there a link for this? or is this a translation? sorry just catching up so this may be a stupid question but if LE has video of the car/truck/suv/van on video for this specific time period don't they have a color/make/model of it?

Oh my God, what is going on with this thread today lol? Lots of communication problems between us. As I, and other posters have been trying to explain. That is a translation of a portion of this article: Sale a la luz video clave en la investigación del caso de la niña mexicana Dulce María. This is the original quote, in spanish:

En las imágenes se ve el vehículo cuando entra al parque de cinco acres a eso de las 4:20 p.m. y se marcha alrededor de las 4:24 p.m., lapso que coincide con el momento en el que la pequeña de origen mexicano habría desaparecido.

Which translates to: In the images the vehicle is seen as it enters the five-acre park at about 4:20 P.M. and leaves around 4:24 P.M., that fits the timeline in which the little girl, who is of mexican origin, disappeared.
So, just to clarify once more: the original article, writen in spanish never stated that Dulce was born in Mexico, it was just a not so good translation, which happens and is no big deal because we, the ones that can understand spanish, are here to help with that. So, Dulce was not born in Mexico, she was born in the US.

The mystery thickens.

It feels like maybe the police are on to something and trying not to give too much away, and this guy jumped the gun. He even referenced the Prosecutor.
