I have watched the extended non-edited video of Cupcake’s father. Now it’s disappeared.The current version Pommy Mommy links in her post is edited from the original. I took notes and was so sad watching him breakdown over his abducted daughter.
I feel like I am relying on reading tea leaves but my impression from Kamille’s father was her mother April is a very good mother and a hard worker and faithfully went to work everyday. If I swirl my tea cup I am going to guess that Cupcake’s mother April couldn’t afford daycare and depended on her 11 year old son and the cousin who lives at Tom Brown Housing to help care for Kamille. Perhaps paying her cousin a nominal amount for Cupcake’s care? Mr. McKinney Cupcake’s father was emphatic that he personally would be opposedto the cousin living at Tom Brown Housing caring for Cupcake.(I will call this post a ’theory’ because I have seen her father only once in the unedited version;IF someone remembers the extended version & a link I would appreciate posting it)
Just My Opinion
I thinks it’s been reported that no adults were outside with those kids at that time. She didn’t get in the vehicle herself though. The party kid that saw her was her older brother and he witnessed the person walk over, pick her up and put her in the car. So I would think the brother would run for help right away. Not brush it off for some time and then recall it later when an adult asked where she was. I’m not saying your theory is wrong but the brother knew right away that a stranger picked her up and ran off with her. Maybe he went and told adults but they started to look for her by searching the area and then decided to call police. That was the delay. The party guests first did their own search. That wasted a bunch of time.My best guess is that nobody was watching her and when someone came to look for her, she was gone. One of the party kids remembered seeing her get in that vehicle, but hadn’t thought anything of it at the time... MOO
I don't think LE would risk the safety of personnel and the residents, time, money and media attention into a ruse. LE, SWAT, FBI, Ambulance, Firetrucks and helicopters were directed there for hours.Could the confusion yesterday have been intentional? Maybe LE have their eye on someone in the complex and wanted to see how this person(s) reacted to news that Cupcake was found alive? If someone has harmed this little girl then that someone would have known she hadn’t been found alive. They would be preparing for her being found deceased then yesterday would have been a huge WTF for them. Maybe they were monitoring reactions. MOO
excellent points @MassGuy and @Steelslady, I have no clue. I just have a hard time thinking that LE got that lucky coming across these 2 people with their history and a matching vehicle located close by and not pursue it. As for the guy at the Shell station, for some reason I thought the car was spotted there but I can't remember if I read it on MSM or social so I'm going with IMO at this point.
Yes and while I understand it can make things difficult... this statement was kind of offensive. I mean it kind of sounded like it was directed at people like us as well.
I thought it’s been reported that mom wasn’t there? Has that been verified yet? I’ve heard so many scenarios. I first read that mom was there but then it was said she was dropped off and an aunt was with her. What we need to know is what transpired from when the brother saw her taken to the parents or some adult being told that information. Cupcake’s mom wasn’t with her. If she WAS at the party and told she was taken then she didn’t react like you or I. The police stated that the adults went searching for a time before calling them. It’s hard to figure out the whys when we don’t know how this whole thing went down so to speak. Maybe there is a clear timeline but the ones I’ve read are vague. I’d like to know more about exactly what was going on that night. If mom was there or not.I guess...just find it highly unlikely for a panicked mom. I know the feeling to be in a store and have turned around and my kid is gone. Add someone telling me they saw someone take my kid and i’d be calling in the national guard. Moo
At age 11, he would be old enough that adults should have thought him credible when he told them she was picked up, put into a car, and driven away.I thinks it’s been reported that no adults were outside with those kids at that time.

If these POIs are the people who took Kamille, can't they ping the cell phones? We know that he had a phone, they found child porn on it. To make a digital footprint of where they were at the time of kamille disappearance. I doubt they would have thought to turn their phones off. I do not know how long it would take for BPD to gather that information.
I believe the family says they do not know those people who were arrested. Most mothers would call right away but was this mother even there? What was going on at the party? Did they not want police there right away for some reason? Or did they just think the boy was wrong? Or that as a group they could find her? Kind of hard to do in the black of night though.Thinking nothing of it, could it be because he knew the car and people in it?
Had it been strangers I think most 11 year old would go running to their mother that someone just took their sister. And most mothers would immediately call police even if it ended up being a false alarm.
I’m going off very recent abduction cases here with delays. They ended in foul play. All by people close to the child. Moo

With how open and vocal some of those people were, I'm a little surprised they are not talking to law enforcement. They already put it all out there, why not talk to them officially?!
We don't have exact ages but we do know it's young girls.

No offense taken. Whatsoever. I knew exactly what you meant. Be You. Stay You.I am so sorry, I did not mean to insinuate "us" at WS are anything like SM or offend anyone.
SM has no rules,/filters, thank goodness WS has "rules" and that's what makes this site so wonderful.
I see SM damage in a lot of cases, its sad and can be very hurtful to the family.
Please, except my apology,

I have watched both versions of video. All thought the first version had more colorful langue
I've been loosely following from the beginning, so this may have been hashed and re-hashed (sorry if so!), but a couple of things really jump out of this article at me since I haven't been keeping up.Kamille was with her mother and other relatives at the home of the person throwing the party, Birmingham Police Department Deputy Chief Scott Praytor said Sunday.
Praytor said Kamille's mother is being cooperative and is "extremely upset."

From the (very brief) article:

Is it new news that Kamille's mother was at the party?
Also, it's interesting that they think others were involved in the kidnapping. Sounds like they're looking for a ring. :-(
