So, do you think she is hidden away? Angela's lack of emotional response makes me want to lean towards her knowing that the baby is safely (relatively anyway) hidden but I can't figure out how that could be the case.
I can't decide yet between deceased and hidden away. I tend toward the former, based on what and where LE is searching, that seems to me to be where they may be leaning.
Also because the baby wasn't seen all day into mid-afternoon. That could be hiding visible injuries. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation for keeping a baby in a room all day. Even if sick, you bring them out, you hold them and walk them to comfort them. If they're up to playing a bit on the floor, you let them. You try to distract them from their discomfort.
I suppose Elaina could have been squirreled away someplace the night before, or during the night, but I'm still keeping in mind that SK's mom thought she heard the baby crying at 9:30am Sunday. If that was Elaina, then something happened between 9:30am and 2:30pm.
There was something said in an article about some place Angela tried to stay but they didn't want Elaina there. I need to look that up again. But I'm thinking about Angela's situation. Homeless. SK's mom didn't want her there after Sunday. That other person didn't want Elaina there.
Too many kids to accomodate in her homeless state, too many kids to take care of. She was alternating between hysteria and no emotion at all on Sunday.
I don't know. Whatever happened, it's a bad situation for Elaina. Surely by now, if someone is keeping her, they would have come forward after seeing all the news and the police and FBI involvement.
I'm just thinking out loud.
