http://wdtv.com/index.php/home/local-news/9172-5-news-update-search-for-aliayah-day-5

and things just get muddier as far as reporting and public information. This article, posted today, says . . .

Investigators say they're following multiple leads, but they won't call the disappearance of little Aliayah a crime. There's currently no specific crime scene, but areas are marked off where people shouldn't go.

So the house is a crime scene, but maybe not, but don't go there, cause it might be? Very confusing - the statements that have been coming out of the investigation. Not casting aspersions on the local LE. Simply noticing that this small community has probably not dealt with this sort of investigation/attention since the disappearance of two ladies 20 years ago. And that shows in their handling of the press. The lack of practice is obvious. Desn't mean they don't know what they are doing investigatively. But does indicate a certain lack of savy in the PR area.

Spot on tlcox I think with your assessment. This town has never had to deal with this kind of attention/pr type work. Does not reflect on their investigative capabilities though!

Is there a scanner thread for this case?

There is but it has been offline all week

My little Ducklings........... I'm not sure that Tricia or Sue would like to know that WS has become a rumor mill. Especially with as serious as the rumor was that I just deleted 15 posts about.

MSM peeps. I say this with all sincerity to you. We cannot bring rumors here especially not monumental rumors. Do your sleuthing with the news sites. Thanks.

Thanks and :blowkiss:

Please no more rumors. Thanks. This is not how we roll at WS.

xoxoxo

Hi Sista!

Hiya!

Wasn't it you that started a map with pins and posted it last night?

Would you mind posting it again please?

Thanks!

Have been following this case....IMO....

....a sick 3 year old doesn't leave and go anywhere,
unless they can't find anyone in the house

....a frantic mother doesn't stop to "buy" cigarettes (if true),
she would have used the money for gas

....if my three year old were missing I would call 911 and
then be running down the street screaming hysterically,
everyone would come out to help

....IMO again, the driving around sounds like a cover story,
I believe they are looking for a body

.....my theory....she was overdosed on medication accidentally

.....poor, poor little Angel

BBM I am wondering if she left her at home unattended while she went to get cigarettes and "borrow" gas. Maybe Aliayah did get up looking for her or someone came into the house while they were gone.

Nope it wasn't me and I am no good with those map links. LOL

Praying the poppet is found safe, as unlikely as that is, I'm hanging on to a string of hope.

De-lurking for the first time to say hi from the UK x

Hi buddha_with_mace! Put on your safety harness and jump right in!:greetings:

That isn't a bad theory for a stranger abduction and to explain the mother not being home. I could see her not wanting to admit she left a sick child at home

Been away from this thread for awhile because its really frustrating being pulled in 5 different directions emotionally! Just dropping a line to pray for dear sweet Aliayah. If something horrible has happened, I really hope justice is done.

Lynn, essies and Kat, thank you so much.

I want to welcome you, too! :woot:

Gram is being so nice. :therethere:

I'm not going to be so sweet about it if I see any more unfounded rumor posts or posts accusing non POIs of committing a crime.

You can say "this report of this type of behavior seems suspicious and concerns me" but you cannot say "I think this person committed murder", UNLESS they are named a suspect in the MSM.

Got it? :tyou:

do we know where the grandmother was during that morning? I would think if she had to run out and get gas and the g/mother lives with them she would have stayed back to watch over her. ... If her story is true that she went out looking for AL, then the g/mother would have still stayed home incase she came back. Those 2 hours are the clue.

 

[swanniee11]

Not sure if this was posted, another article, Aunt saying the mother is distraught and asking for privacy

OK we seem to have a problem with the Rumor Mill FB thread. Sooooooo we are not allowed to bring anything to this forum from that FB It is all rumor, we cannot verify its truth and thus it is now off-limits for discussion here unless a moderator is contacted before hand.

Thanks.

 

[tlcya]

I am going to delete that stupid link from my history. That place is nothing more than a hotbed of salacious gossip. I, for one, do not need to be warned about carrrying rumor from there to here any further. Losing that link permenantly.

For those newcomers to Websleuths - You really should acquaint yourselves with the Terms of Service. The mods have been really patient, as they understand that each new case brings new members who are less familiar with our strict code of conduct.

I am always so pleased to see new members and fresh ideas come to WS, I would hate for anyone to be scolded or banned from simple lack of familiarity with the rules we live by here.
