Found Deceased AL- Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney, 3, kidnapped from birthday party, Birmingham, 12 Oct 2019

I'm in work and can't actually listen/watch the video - is there anything significant?

This is an update from Monday. Not today.

I agree and hope that extensive searching of all vehicles, trunks, close by apartments, sheds, etc are all searched extensively. She may have been tired and with all the commotion of the partygoers she may have found a quiet place to doze off and somehow got locked or trapped wherever she went.

Im reminded of the sad case where a young boy got trapped in a van. Just hoping extensive searching was done to make sure nothing like this could have happened.

But then why would they have POI's in custody?

Its a good question that seems to point to LE may think she was taken but until news is released on the POI's, we really dont know why they are being questioned.

I had hoped this was a family situation but as the days go by it doesn't seem like it - JMO

Where on earth is this child? Why is it taking so long to find her, especially with people detained?

Birmingham Kidnapping: Suspects Cooperating With Police
[...]

During a news conference Monday, Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith confirmed authorities are searching beyond state lines for Kamille.


Police have said they are unsure if the child is even still in the Birmingham area anymore. They also believe more people are involved in this case than just the two who allegedly took Kamille from the birthday party.

Hypothetical question:

IF, and I say IF LE were led to believe that she was passed off to some kind of traffickers, do you think LE would reveal this?

I wonder what their working theories are at the moment.

 

[alyssa5597]

No press conference makes me think they are either close to finding her or have zero information on her whereabouts...for some reason I'm leaning towards the latter

 

[margarita25]

I wonder if LE has uncovered any “payouts” received by any of these persons detained.

This is just blowing my mind. All of this. I still feel there is hope that she is alive.

Imo, LE would likely have had time by now to examine the phones of the persons detained.

There must be a specific reason why they have expanded to Georgia and Tennessee, moo.

I do think there is hope as well - hoping for the best - JMO

 

[distracted]

I really hope the silence from LE, well mostly silent means they are close. If these 2 (or 3) people are talking LE must know more. Unless they are lying. What a mess.

I don't doubt the abduction story or who was described to have carried it out. The motive is where things become muddled for me.

And the fact that LE think others may be involved complicates any theory I come up with.

I do think LE has a good idea about what happened and are close. I really do.

 

[Bravo]

I am hopeful as well. I have to leave in a bit for a few hrs. Hoping for good news when I get back.

Thanks for this post, this is hopeful. I feel they must have an idea too.

So why is it taking so long? Someone wanted a child, who, and why? Still holding out hope this is a woman who won’t harm her, but if this is the case why is it taking so long to find her? Who wants “Cupcake”, or a random three year old girl? Could these POIs be leading them on a wild goose chase? Sigh, so many questions. Glued to this thread waiting for more information. I hope Cupcake is safe and warm and fed and not scared. I hope she is not being mistreated in anyway.

ETA:
I’d really like to see a list of potential motives here. Surely that list will not be that long. There are only a certain number of potential motives I would think.
