My darn mobile. Can't see live stream.

No worries,nothing is happening.

You can hear and see helicopter. The yellow tape appears to be a good distance from the scene. Several police cars but can't see the search area.

The family??

They have been spending a lot of time at the police station, apparently, so they probably knew LE was going there. Imo

 

[BaileeRyce]

The family??

Yes. I have heard it twice now. A member of Cupcake's family called LE regarding something they had heard about the little girl being seen at this location.
Sorry but, because at work, the volume is down low and didn't hear the statement clear enough to elaborate

 

[MsBetsy]

The reporter on the scene said that the family received a tip that she was seen at this apartment complex/ in the area. They alerted police and police immediately swarmed the location. So that's what we're seeing now. Praying this is a credible tip and she is found alive and well.

Oh, boy. I hope it was a credible tip.

The news has also said people have been allowed to move around the apartment complex, there doesn't seem to be any major urgency or "lock down" but at the same time he hasn't seen anyone leave but has seen plenty of people out on their porches and kind of standing around watching within the police tape at the complex. Reporter also saying he has not seen any medical personnel, no ambulance. Still a helicopter circling.

Sounds about right from previous abduction miles doesn't it?

Would be interesting to know which member and how they received the tip.

Yes. I have heard it twice now. A member of Cupcake's family called LE regarding something they had heard about the little girl being seen at this location.

Is that address a prior address for anyone associated?

There's always a "2" in there somewhere.

The waiting is agonizing! I cannot imagine how much more so for the family. I hope the tip is credible and Cupcake is found safe. I'm a notorious "fence sitter" here on WS: I can see so many sides of things that it's really hard for me to get a gut feeling in most cases. When Cupcake went missing, I initially felt she was alive and that someone known to the family was involved (not suggesting the family is involved). I woke up today feeling less hopeful. I pray she's okay.

I think I just saw the father, Dominic on the scene with the police but didn't hear that mentioned on either broadcast I'm watching. Did anyone hear confirmation that is him?

 

[mks762]

2 more LE casually walking up dressed in tactical gear. Very bizarre scene. Lots of LE around but everyone just kind of waiting around with no urgency. I wish we knew what was going on

I thought the same thing. Bizarre.

 

[kkdj]

Did someone say the grandma crossed the police lines? That's weird.
If it's true tho, I wonder if it's someone she knows in the apt.

Good to see you here fellow Ontarian. Yes I read about that.

So

I was just updating the media thread and put these two posts together - it's rather frightening IMO

@otto - 3 little girls abducted in public places

$150 billion human trafficking industry flows through Birmingham

So very disturbing. I guess I have liked a very sheltered life. Thank GOD! I would like to find the statistics for my area. The age range for females is horrifying. At that age I had no idea what sex was.
