Well I don’t want to like this post but as the days go by and the people I thought were hiding the baby don’t seem to be doing that I’m sadly leaning toward this too - it’s odd though that the baby was removed from the crime scene IMO which gives me pause ...It’s impossible to say, but you very well may be right.
Personally, I think all the answers lie with the man currently behind bars. I’m optimistic for a break, but pessimistic in regards to what that break will mean for Vanessa.
The crime seems to have been emotional, on account of the brutal violence that was inflicted. The post offense actions seem to indicate panic, in that putting bloody items in a donation bin is incredibly stupid.
My fear is that this was part of a pattern, one that culminated with Vanessa’s death. If she was alive, I think she would have been recovered by now.
I think this is likely to have been a double homicide.
