I wonder if any of the residents that lived in the Benaroon area on that fateful day, had already sold their homes and purchased another home far away, or have since moved to a location a distance away.... and if so, if LE has checked at all into their new location.... covertly of course?
In regard to the posts the other day in which members described situations close to them, where something could have happened within seconds.. I am not above being able to see how this could happen.. it's just that it is SO unlikely to me, that *all* of the circumstances necessary FOR this to have happened that way, could all have been present all at the same time.... (my list a few posts back).. and then on TOP of all of those circumstances, the person who would have happened upon the little guy, would *also* have had to have been of that kind of mind to snatch a child and run with him, which is *also* so unlikely just in itself (at least imho, I don't think most people would do or think that way).
I have had a few kids of my own and one got away from me in a mall at one point for a few very scary minutes, another (or maybe the same one) got away from me at a theme park one time just as we were heading to leave (I was so shook up that my legs literally ached for one full year afterward, with no explanation), and I had a 2 year old that would take off in a *blink* out of our yard before we had a fence installed. And I know these things happen to people all over, every day, but in *most* cases, 'people are good', and nothing bad happens. Or someone was there to prevent a 'badguy' from being successful, etc.
While in this particular case, it's just everything all combined together that makes it seem SO impossible to me. But I do realize that it could still have happened. So imagine if someone who had cause to be in the neighbourhood at the time (a neighbour perhaps, that was moving a few hours away to a country property perhaps?), seized that opportunity and 'just kept driving' (like GJ had mentioned).... for hours, until (he/she/they) reached their destination of a new home base, hours away... set up a new home, in a town where they were not previously known to the residents, and they moved in with a 3 year old child. Perhaps they don't really socialize and have no real family that would have noticed there was a new addition. Nobody would even suspect anything, because the people were new residents to the area, and no one would be the wiser as to whether or not they previously had a child. (Maybe they DID previously have a child that something happened to, and the new child took the other child's identity?)
When the time came, they would have been wise to choose home schooling.. and that child may never have been registered with any school or physician, etc. It's a possibility that could have happened, and we will never know about it, perhaps until WT becomes an adult and realizes what happened? I'm not sure on how much a young mind might remember, from that age?
I can fathom that type of scenario more easily than I can fathom that a sexual predator of 3 year old male toddlers was ALSO on the street that day, and did whatever horrible things, killed him... and not a trace was ever found. I feel like if that type of scenario had happened, they would have found remains by now. GJ has said he believes it was opportunistic, and as such, it's hard to imagine that a person could pull off the 'perfect crime' without any preplanning and not leave a trace of anything.
I can't see it being any of the people who have been talked about on this thread as POIs, because they have all been checked out fully, and I feel like there would have been evidence - DNA or a slipup or *something* by now (imho).
Ramblings... jmo.
