SBM. Unless he's just finished a job and is no longer in the area anymore. Maybe he abducted this boy on his way out of town? Although, this doesn't help explain why the boy has not been reported missing yet. Someone earlier threw up the idea that maybe the family are living there illegally, I think this would definitely explain why no one has come forward. Could it be possible that the family are also new in the area? This would explain why none of the children seemed to know him, and why people have only seen him around in the past few weeks.
A few years back I worked in a small grocery store, and one night when I was on the registers I was robbed.
The police showed up and asked for the description of the man, and I was WAY off in the details I gave. We then looked over the surveillance and I was blown away by how wrong I was. They explained to me that it's very rare for eye witnesses to have the same recollection and description of events, or even to give reliable descriptions of the offender, especially in a situation like a robbery where it's something high stress and is over very quickly. I think that each witness in this case will have a different description for this very reason.
I have to say, I was very surprised to wake up this morning and find there is not yet an ID for this boy, and that he hadn't been found yet.
