ITA. How can there be a rape arrest otherwise? I think LE was bluffing that she was still missing after the first few days. First, she runs away and travels to WI. Second, once safe, she and her safe harbor contact FBI. Give statement about rape and turn over sheet for proof. FBI also takes her DNA. Back in TN, LE either made an excuse to get his DNA, or collected it surreptitiously. Testing to do. Then write and secure an AW.Respectfully, LE has probably known she was safe, just waiting for forensics. It happens. I have been there myself.
Time consuming effort. I think the FBI/LE has known where she is since about January 16.
Could it be her natural father, a cousin, aunt or grandparent in WI? No rescuer will be facing charges.<modsnipped> Were the other children removed? I hope so. JMO IMO MOO.
