I know nothing about why she was placed there or her state of mind, and certainly not enough to cast blame on the facility.
I will say this much. I keep seeing her as 5 or 6, and I have to keep reminding myself that she is 9. 9-year-olds can cover a lot of ground in a surprisingly short amount of time. The only thing that would have slowed her down was the weather, but that's a BIG factor, obviously. Under normal circumstances, an athletic 9-year-old can walk quite far. Certainly farther than a mile.
I wonder if she tripped & injured herself & succumbed to the elements.
Horrible.
I don’t see her making plans to escape.
I’m wondering about the couple cutting wood. Did they not think it odd to see a little girl w/o winter attire?
