WS is being wonky! Anyways, just trying to say that the mom's timeline is so tight. And she had an eight year old with her. Stranger abductions are so rare. But I am giving it serious consideration in this case.
Where are you sweet pea?
Ita, Suzi! It's been awful this afternoon while trying to post. I have tried to post my previous post, and it took me forever. Then I was so afraid I was going to windup with multiples of the same post. Ugh. IDKW, but this site is the only one that does it with me.
Do you know if they are continuing to do searches in this same area today? If so, to me they feel she is still in that same general area.
In the vast study I mentioned in the 775 cases where a child had been abducted, and then murdered the motive for doing so is almost always every time in order to sexually assault the young child, whether little boys or girls.
It also states that by the time the parents realize the child is missing plus desperately searching themselves.. on average 2 hours or more has passed, and the offender has already murdered the victim before 911 is even called.
I dont want to think LE is in a recovery mode, but over 48 hours has passed by now, and I think they even know already how this is going to tragically end.
Imo, studies show when the police has verified the child has been abducted it is far more likely the offender will be a stranger to the child victims, and far less likely the offender will be parents or family members.
So due to these set of circumstances in this case, I'm leaning more on the side of a stranger abduction this time.
My heart is with her mom, and all who love her dearly.
