UT UT- STILL MISSING 5 -Year-Old Elizabeth Shelley , Logan, 25 May 2019 (UNCLE ARRESTED)

[Dre]

I think they will definitely find her today or tomorrow..

“Searchers found a couple of things of “evidentiary value” near the girl’s home that police say indicate she’s likely nearby. The search grid is relatively small, just a couple blocks surrounding the family home”

I think he has the ability to bring complexity to any situation. From his posts regarding his ex, I’m glad she got away.
I wonder if he’s had lifelong issues? Jmo

I would guess that he has had issues since he already had a record at age 20.
I wonder if, since drugs were involved, he was required to go to rehab and he didn't. Either way, failing a drug test would be enough to violate his probation. Then not showing up or at least not contacting the parole officer would be a violation.
Have they said yet what the reason was? I know they had a warrant but I'm wondering if he did something other than not show up or use drugs.

She must be nearby. How far could he have taken her on foot? Unless he got a ride but I doubt it. I hope they find her soon. Imo

AFAIK this guy will not get out. He was picked up for evading parole. No way he will get bail. MOO.

 

[Knox]

I wondered if there were any other pictures of Lizzi.

 

[mistivon]

Parole or probation? Either one, he shouldn't be able to be released without a revocation hearing.

Right, the lack of a vehicle hindered him, as well as approaching daylight. He needed rid of her before sunrise.
Imo, he had only a couple of hours. If mom knows the child was okay @2a.m., I would assume he didn’t immediately leave, he needed to be sure everyone was sleeping, so maybe around 3 he left? Jmo
Sunrise at 6 something, or at least daylight?

 

[Trudie]

I don't know if having drug paraphernalia is a state crime, but it is a federal crime, that may be another reason for the FBI involvement.

He may have a pack of papers on him & the arresting officer amped up charges.

(KUTV) — Logan City Police announced the arrest of Alexander William Whipple, 21, for absconding from probation on Sunday.

Whipple is the "main suspect" in the case of missing 5-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Shelley. He was booked into the Cache County Jail just after midnight Sunday morning on a failure-to-appear (FTA) warrant with a $25,000 bond.
[...]

He is a convicted felon who was sentenced to prison after engaging in a police pursuit in a stolen truck while intoxicated, Sept. 17, 2017.

His prison sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation for 5 years. The FTA warrant was issued on April 29, 2019, for his failure to comply with probation.

Uncle of missing girl booked into jail on warrant; 'main suspect' in girl's disappearance

ETA: nowhere in MSM is it reported he was arrested for drugs or paraphernalia

I had a link to his warrants but now n/a since they have him. Should have SS them.
Imo, they will find her today & uncle will have some big boy charges added to his rap sheet.

Searchers are going door to door talking with people who live here. Appears FBI Child Exploitation Task Force is part of this search.

FBI child exploitation task force,does this mean there could be some truth to the speculation that he handed her over to someone?

It's possible she woke up in the morning and got dressed - which is why mom isn't sure of the clothes she was wearing. Then uncle took her outside. My guess it was early enough in the morning that he was reasonably sure his sister and boyfriend would be sleeping for awhile. I think if he took her outside while it was still dark, she would be scared and cry.

Just had a thought - could be have harmed her while still in the house and then had to hide the body (as opposed to leaving with a live child)?

Most of them have 'locks' which help control the water flow. I think these are maybe irrigation ditches and can be turned on or off by the landowners.

Reporter explains no amber alert for ES because the alert requires a witnessed abduction, and also a vehicle.

Uncle can be held for 72 hours on probation violation.

He won’t be held until an arraignment on a felony probation violation that a judge signed off a warrant on? My LEO is confused because that’s how we do it in Louisiana.

This is so upsetting.

I really hope they don't have to let him go. Nothing good will come from that.
