This does suggest a joint custody arrangement

" I haven't even got to see my own kids , not even Meadow yet

one of these times when statements are open to interpretation.. I read it as "I haven't even had time to see my own (other) kids yet"

Thank you for the clarification!

I still think this is suspicious, I doubt the children were ever playing outside or wandered into the woods alone, and that is all I will say for now.

"If one of them is covering for the other..."

I doubt Malehya would cover for Daniel if he harmed her bio children. What mother would? And why would Daniel cover for Malehya? Maybe worried about Meadow's safety?

I’m not sure why he wouldn’t have time to see his own kids. He only works occasional shifts. I read one shift per week, but please correct me if I’m wrong. He certainly doesn’t have any childcare tasks related to Meadow filling his days. Do you have information that he is out with a search party or other tasks related to the disappearance of Lilly and Jack? It has been about 6 weeks. If I had other kids and they were any kind of priority to me, which they would be, I’d be seeing them. Unless, of course, they live across the country or something. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, given his comments about the strangeness of going from a family of 7 down to just himself.

I feel like a lot of mothers cover for their boyfriends who harm their children

Unfortunately there have been way too many cases where that happened - the mother allowing abuse and/or covering for their partner.

Maybe Maleyha left so quickly because she felt it wasn't a safe place to stay for her youngest child?

As far as taking the time to change a relationship "status," she is really young.

Yes prehaps Maleyha did leave the area quickly because she felt nervous or scared for her baby . That I can understand.

But she is not a teenager . So my opinion of the status change in the circumstances still remains. It is a childish act and one that in the grand scheme of what is happening really would be a low priority for many and quite possibly would not cross the mind of most if not all innocent parents of missing children .

Perhaps she left the area because she feared someone or something was out to cause her and the baby harm similar to the fate of Lilly and Jack. If she suffered from mental illness it’s impossible to know if her reasoning was the least bit rational.

I agree, using FB to publicly announce a relationship is over is very immature considering at the time it was the least important urgency. It also immediately cast a shadow on DM, which IMO wasn’t really fair to him. Only the police can determine the truth, not public chatter.

The only reason I could possibly think as to why a parent of a missing child would change the status of a profile on SM so soon is if they had an online stalker and the stalker said they would harm her children if she didnt leave her partner and they feared the person stalking them took the kids that morning . But I'm sure if that was the case here we would have heard about it .

Parents of missing children splitting up is not unusual as the stress , the reminders of what used to be etc is overwhelming but it would seem both Maleyha and Daniel wanted to have it out in the public domain ASAP . Which is what I find weird.

Who's eyes is the change of status for . I'm sure close relatives know her stance so who did she urgently need to show .

Maybe she didn’t. Maybe some else has her password. Maybe she is being set up?
Just playing devils advocate here.

Malehya did not just change her status, she deleted all pictures of Daniel too. She only has pictures of her kids on her Facebook page now. She keeps making it public and then the next day it will be private again.

 

[su5ie]

What do posters feel happened that morning or in the preceding 15 hours or so since that last public sighting?

 

[FansBlowing]

Theories are drug overdose or animal/dog attack. I don't think anyone wants to believe they were battered children and died from beatings.

Forgot she deleted all pics of Daniel too .

That action would allow the finger of suspicion to fall firmly at DMs feet in the eyes of law enforcement. Wonder are they waiting for him to slip up and she has already given a statement stating why she feels Daniel is guilty

I don't buy into dog attack or drug overdose . The first would leave evidence and the latter one kid I could believe, two kids both overdosing and dying at the same time I don't feel is possible and I don't think they died from beatings .

I think someone took them from the home not necessarily a stranger or to harm them and I think there is a chance they are alive .

If Malehya truly woke up and her kids were nowhere to be found, of course, Daniel is the prime suspect. There are other people who live on that property though, so where were they and what were they doing?

This is the part I don't get about the alleged accusation towards Daniel,

If Daniel and Maleyha were in the bedroom feeding meadow and jack could be heard in the kitchen and lilly was poking her head in and out of the bedroom. And Daniel did not leave the bedroom in that time and then it suddenly went quiet. When does Maleyha think Daniel did something to her kids ?. Unless they are both lying about what happened that morning.

 

[FansBlowing]

"both lying about what happened that morning."

Yes, or what happened the night before.

 

[Sjöberg]

Pretty much any theory I try to believe in gets notably less likely as soon as I factor in that these were 2 kids (and also of different sex and age).

I had a pretty stupid idea that maybe someone (like any family member) just took the kids somewhere into the widerness with a car and left them there. Wanted to get rid of them or punish them, didn't actually physically kill them. But even little kids can follow roads that are accessible to cars, so I guess that would not have worked either. And I guess you would be spotted during a long drive and both your emotion and the kids emotions and actions would change during that time, so it might not follow through.

I think that the kids are in the bush. I know that searchers looked for them but I've seen first hand how searchers go through the woods. They comb in one direction, which works well until there are major problems with the landscape. In this case, they would have had to go over the same land in four directions to do a thorough search, and that didn't happen. If you look at the photo of the downed trees, you can easily imagine that two little kids could tuck in under the uprooted trees to find shelter. Searchers would walk by in one direction, but would need to turn back to go completely around each spot where the kids could have been. While going around one difficult part, it is easy to miss another difficult place beside them. The searchers constantly mentioned how difficult the terrain was. I think the kids are still there. It might be years before they are discovered. Or sadly, maybe never.
