My point wasn't about her. It was about HIM. Why would you tell someone to wait on calling 911? What did you need to check or do first?

But beyond that, the dynamic of her feeling the need to ask him. "*Should* we call?" Not, "oh god we need to call 911". It's a subtle thing to read too much into, but I think it potentially demonstrates a pattern of needing to defer to Daniel about decisions.

But in calling regardless of his wishes, I think it demonstrates that Malehya was (perhaps even subconsciously?) suspicious of Daniel. She took the opportunity to call in his absence, maybe hoping to be able to speak more freely.

While listening to the search on scanner, there was a heaviness of things unsaid. One thing that was spoken in very laden tones was the assertions that "family INSISTS they would NEVER cross the road, under any circumstances, so there's definitely no need to search in that direction". The searchers were clearly communicating some polite skepticism of family narrative during the very first day of searching. Same with their tone around the reported timeline for last hearing them.

It's that same special tone used by doctors and social workers. "So and so reports that..."

They arrived on scene, and knew right away that there may be some "unreliable narrator" potential.

If my kids were playing in the yard and suddenly disappeared I would definitely want to check their fort and/or "cabin" or wherever they often went to play before calling 911. Calling 911 is not a trivial thing. If you are going to report your kids missing you want to make sure they are actually missing. In fact, this thing where MBM just knew she had to phone is a huge red flag for me. There is something really wrong there. I'm thinking that, at the very least, the time that had transpired was much more than the 20 minutes they are claiming.
