According to LE, no one was told about the grand kids impending arrival. Allegedly the whole town of 800 odd people were interviewed about the matter.
It might have been opportunistic, but I doubt there wasn't an element of planning. An element of premeditated thought into getting someone out of there.
Most of us would have been caught because we don't have that premeditated train of thought. To take that risk, it would still be calculated risk. Its like an apprenticeship many refine in prison learning from others in prison etc. Im sure some of it is not the child but the adrenalin gleaned from the risk, like gambling.
The numbers of people being in a no through road with 15 houses in a rural setting mid week are extremely low.
Benaroon drive is an abductors paradise in my eyes. It has low numbers of houses with obscured view by numbers of trees, open fences for free movement with an escape route through dense forest via track and a back exit through a cemetery out of the area.
15 houses in the middle the working week means there is low chance of being seen.
Without more detailed information we are extremely limited in what we know. We know nothing really.
Someone must have been desperate. Is it a risk you would take? The outcome is horrendous.
Crikies, if I caught someone abducting a kid in our street Id be a rabid dog. It would be no pub fight.
The fact the father had gone meant it was a soft target. Little chance of meeting fierce adversary. That is perfect opportunity.
BBM, Do we know exactly who was told about the FP's surprise visit to g/ma's at that time? Did g/ma have other friends in Kendall she could of told? And word gets around in a small town like that usually where everyone knows everyone else's business. So i don't think we can definitively say who exactly knew unless g/ma didn't know either that her family were coming for a visit? And what about the FP's did they tell anyone before they left? Who knew about them i wonder and what they were doing at that time? But i'm sure the police have investigated all that already?
