The mountains are really good places to hide. I am sure he has scoped his place out. Unfortunately, C. is not a police killer or wanted person that would have a slew of officers out searching for her.
At this moment, we have no idea where to begin searching as there are no clues as to her whereabouts. Therefore, no one is actively looking either. The last I heard, two states had been notified, however, NC was not one of those states. Hope that has changed by now.
In a few weeks, the visitors to the mountains will start picking up as Memorial Day will be here, schools will be out for summer, and vacations will be starting. People will be returning to their mountain homes, cabins, and camping will be in full gear. Wonder if he has planned that far out?
Honestly, this is a good time of the year, as far as weather is concerned, as there may be three more weeks of cold nights. Who knows what his plans are? Perhaps he was fearful of her being out of school all summer, home with her father? Speculation only!
The sooner she is found the better! Her pediatrician is one special human being to reach our as he has done! IMO, it is time CPS takes a real serious interest into this case as to what the actual facts are! Little dear C., I pray your uncle is being nice to you and not hurting you.
