Anyone know why it took so long for the police to make this public?

IDK I wondered the same. 9 days and 9 nights before the police posted their report. This is the only article (besides the Herald) I could find which is a bit unusual.

Me too. She looks sad like she's about to cry. She looks like my oldest granddaughter. Her photo kinda speaks to me. I hope to see more stations picking up this story.
