Heading into another winter. It's been almost four years now, and we know very little more than when she first went missing.

Agreed, sadly. How many kids are out there like she was/is?I just hope that other residential homes for children have all reviewed their emergency response plans for their residents.
Even if a staff member had just tackled her, before she ran off, she would at least be alive. These kids are in residential care because they make poor decisions and have impulsive behavior. Reactive attachment disorder. Hard kids to help.
Off topic...but read any almost any thread here. Many end up in prison, due to poor decisions, inability to self regulate their emotions and behaviors. High risk of suicide. Drug addiction, over dose.Agreed, sadly. How many kids are out there like she was before disappearing?
It's got to be difficult for the professionals and other staff to know how hard or soft to go with these kids. Each one comes from a different situation. And once they're "out there" (those who are), then what happens to them?
Anything is possible but the odds favoring a sex offender happening to be on a rural South Dakota road at the same time she escaped from the facility are astronomical. She’d have a better chance of being hit by lightning. What could be the case is that she was picked up by a well meaning motorist, heard her story, and then drove to another state and enrolled her in school. The facility was close to the state border.Hi everyone, I've read on serenitys disappearance a little but I've not had the time to go back through the threads so sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there no way serenity was abducted after she ran away? Is that not something le is even considering? Tia
I don't think so. Serenity was not an easy, normal child. Normal kids don't end up in residential treatment facilities at age nine.Anything is possible but the odds favoring a sex offender happening to be on a rural South Dakota road at the same time she escaped from the facility are astronomical.

I know which case you are referring to. However, all we know is that Serenity was last seen walking alone by the side of the road. I would think that LE would have checked thoroughly into all the comings and goings to the facility that day, including deliveries. I don't know what records the facility keeps, but I would think LE could check with the delivery companies as well, although they may not have done so if they didn't feel there was any need....knowing what I now can't unknown from another thread, I can't help but to wonder if the facility where Serenity was living received a package at the very same time she disappeared. Across the landscape of America, delivery trucks are so commonplace they can register as invisible.

Yes, the temperatures dropped drastically. It had been mild for the time of year the prior day (and I believe Serenity's family came to see her that day). On the day Serenity ran away from the facility, it started out rather mild, and was still relatively mild when she bolted (30s I think) but within a few hours the temperatures started to plummet and the snow started, both of which really hindered the search efforts.I thought about Serenity the other day, impulsive behavior is why she ran away. Most kids her age would be able to process where they are, distance from town, and know intuitively that running away there wouldn't have made a difference.
I still have questions about the timeline.
The other day, the weather here, changed from 45 one day, to the next day, it was 10 below zero.
