I was thinking maybe there was confusion about height and weight because the parents might have tried to convert from metric measurements to pounds and inches.
Why do you think it could be a teen? I can't think of one case where the perp was a teenager, but it's an interesting thought.
I thought maybe too, but when I look at the CDC chart, it left me scratching my head. Maybe when police asked about the height, the parents pointed?I was thinking maybe there was confusion about height and weight because the parents might have tried to convert from metric measurements to pounds and inches.
I am not familiar with the first three cases you mentioned and only vaguely familiar with Jessica. I had just become aware of WS during her case. Thanks. I'm going to research the other three you posted.Madyson Middleton, Alanna Gallagher, Jenise Wright, Jessica Ridgeway. A few off the top of my head that I have followed involving teen perps.
In general, children are more willing to trust "kids" than adults. Fear of strangers is generally extended to adults. However, I don't know (IMO) how a teen could conceal an abduction and/or other crimes for 5-6 days without starting to act suspicious.
I thought about a younger teen suspect as well, but discounted for the very reason you state - lack of transportation would mean Lina would likely be found within days and nearby the complex.Madyson Middleton, Alanna Gallagher, Jenise Wright, Jessica Ridgeway.

Since it's been six days now, I'm leaning towards a male perp who likely had her in his vehicle very quickly![]()
Can't get this off of my mind. From first post of this thread, Pommy Mommy linked this quote: "Police are currently looking for an unknown suspect in connection with her abduction." Has this been mentioned recently by LEO?
This is what confuses me.... Why mention a suspect and then say there isn't one without explaining. "Police are currently looking for an unknown suspect in connection with her abduction." Amber Alert: Three-year-old missing from San Antonio"Six days after 3-year-old Lina Sardar Khil disappeared from the playground of her family's northwest-San Antonio apartment complex, authorities continue to search for any sign of the young girl.
Police officials emphasized they don't believe Lina was taken by someone."
“We are not treating this as an abduction right now," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said Wednesday afternoon. "We are treating it as a missing person. The longer the time lapses, the less hopeful we become.”

Anyone could drive around the complex and spot an unattended child.
A teen with access to a car would be able to... well, move the victim to another place and conceal her (horrible thought).However, I don't know (IMO) how a teen could conceal an abduction and/or other crimes for 5-6 days without starting to act suspicious.
Doesn't seem to be, based on this..I skipped some pages, there are no cameras around this complex??
I think the Chief has clarified his statement regarding "missing" vs. "abduction" - On Friday, McManus provided more context, saying there's no potential abduction suspect authorities are currently searching for but otherwise using the resources which would be used in an abduction. investigation.

It is not the same playground.
Different building etc.
Easier to watch the clip on SAPD YouTube Channel
It is very difficult to figure out how to prevent something when you don't understand how it develops. Complicating the issue, I think, is that when it comes to these offenders, you have both "true" pedophiles (who actually have a disordered attraction to children) and then you have the "opportunistic" pedophiles (who are looking to sexually victimize people, often females, but have figured out that children are "easy" targets because their small size makes them easier to control/conceal/dispose of). MOO
So there are multiple, entwined, sexually-motivated pathways for offenders involved in this type of crime against children, in my opinion. This makes LE's job very difficult when investigating because if they have very few leads they need to figure out - do they focus on this local guy who has been trading for child sex abuse images on the internet? Or do they need to be looking at a guy who drives by there every night on his way home from work, who has had triggering life events lately and is looking to assert his power/anger on any female victim - but who impulsively and opportunistically realized that an unattended child is the easiest target of all?
Having said this, speaking generally, I believe that the younger the victim, the more likely LE is to be dealing with someone with a true pedophilic motivation. However - not always.
