Wow, I will never catch up with notifications so if someone responded and I have not responded that is why. I laid down last night to watch TV when he had been arrested but she had not been found.
My first thoughts like many went to if he was guilty of rape then he killed her too and they were trying to find out from him where she was.
By the time I left the computer and laid down, the thought popped right into my head that she had been helping them and they had her and/or had contact with her. Could be wrong, she may have come out of hiding when hearing he was arrested but either way, I went to bed with hope.
Got up, saw the news and SO HAPPY.
It has taken me a couple of hours again to catch up this morning and that gives time for the thoughts to clear.
I HOPE the bedsheet was taken as proof and this is not a he said/she said. I suspect they have enough or more to hold him and some evidence. It does make sense that she took it for such a reason.
I have thoughts of what may have occurred before this move and what spurred it but it is total speculation so I won't go into it.
Never liked him. I was a bit put off by both parents but I will keep my mind open on the mother--for now.
The more arrests/more people bothers me. If it was just possibly another arrest or two, it would not but it sounds like a bit more than that. I hope she did not jump out of one fire into another. Or worse, that it was on stepdad end of things.
Imo, unless he came into her life later, her bio dad let her go if this man was able to adopt her. That does not mean he may not have maintained contact but generally a caring father will fight an adoption by a stepfather. Jmo.
IF good people were helping, just in thinking what I would do--let's say she tried to tell before and she got shut down, or he got away with it, or she was called a liar by family members or no proof, and then moved, if I were her family in WI who wanted to help (if that is the case, we have no idea I realize), I would get her up there and then I would place her somewhere with someone else willing to help and I would go straight to the authorities and say I do not want to break the law, but I cannot give her up until we know she will not have to go back to him...? You have to help us... Just a thought but a heartwarming one I think.
Another GOOD ending. I am starting to learn or believe they knew more than we do (LE, etc.) and are at times working behind the scenes. So HAPPY she is safe and waking up to find that. The entire day yesterday smacked to me of the Jayme Closs case. There was an arrest, no there wasn't in this case. In J's, she was found, no she wasn't. And other things that day.... It allowed me to keep a bit of hope yesterday...
Whatever the facts turn out to be, she is ALIVE AND SAFE.
Just my longwinded 2c worth on seeing the news and catching up with all of the posts or most of them anyway.
