I understand those 5 mins from when my kids were little! As far as Faye is concerned, we do not know it took 1 hour to call. She was last seen at 3:44. LE was called at 5. We don’t know when Faye was first noticed missing. Could have been 5 minutes later, 20 or 45. That detail has never been released afaik.
Same.
Yes, def predator, but known or unknown? I can’t make up my mind. Still leaning toward known and not too far away. Based on no reports of struggle or screaming. JmoNow I'm back to thinking a predator took her.
IMO it could also be they can't clear people as of yet. And if there are any leads/suspicions, then it may be the opposite - trying to find evidence. Speculation, of course.
I actually read a story on Reddit the other day about a man who when he was a child watched his young cousin accidentally drown in a pond and never told his parents what had happened and it had been a disappearance that had never been solved, with the Reddit community insisting that he confess what he saw for the sake of his aunt and uncle. That is a good point you made that I'd have never thought of otherwise. A definite possibility!
How traumatizing!! I bet he blocked it out of his mind until recently. But I wonder what would happen if he came clean about it now. Might drive a stake thru the family. Tough spot to be in.
This has been my thought as well. I read that water was high and rushing in the nearby creek, now I forget where I read it, has anyone else read/heard that? I haven’t checked weather in that area for the prior days before she went missing. I keep thinking of Emily Wade drowning. Water comes up fast, dissipates quickly, but takes its victims.
