I think MB has hit the end of the road. She spent two months answering the question “Where is your baby?” whenever her relatives or friends would ask by saying “she is with ___” (the name in the blank changed due to changing circumstances). Eventually all this lying tangled her up in her own web and people began to realize that she was lying. I believe Evelyn is gone, and has not been with us since early December. I believe in their hearts, LE believes this too. It has been my experience following these cases for many years that for the most part, LE will rarely indicate any suspicion other than hope, and will not indicate they believe thee was found play unless there has been physical or other hard evidence to support it. But that doesn’t mean they don’t believe it will turn out that way.
