Thanks for posting that. It sounds like the investigation is leading somewhere, imo. He said so many are concerned for the missing children because it’s ‘ a very fundamental wrong’, and I think that’s such an apt description.
He said they’re making headway with what they’re finding out in the investigation. That makes it sound more complicated than two children wandering off, imo. Unless more experts have weighed in on the complex terrain and how the children could have disappeared despite the intensive search. (For example, the currents and wave action in a body of water within the search area.)
A few here pointed out that it doesn’t make sense for Lilly to have been out playing in the backyard with her backpack, which seems like it was meant for school. (But we don’t know.)
The backyard and driveway was muddy dirt, so I wouldn’t think they’d be allowed to play with ‘good’ items there, imo. Especially with no washing machine at home. So why did she take it? (And possibly her old blanket?)
I’ve also wondered if DM’s other children helped to fill in some of the blanks.
Also, I’m curious if the police tracked down the children with the same boots as Lilly’s to rule out if they made the prints on the pipeline trail. (Although I don’t think we know for 100% that it was made by her boots.)
