I don't think Elizabeth Smart's parents were drunk when she was abducted in the middle of the night.
Children do get stolen from their beds, and no one hears a thing.
Elizabeth Smart was 14 years old when she was abducted. Jessica Lunsford was 9. Polly Klaas was 12 years old. Samantha Runnion was nearing her 6th birthday.
(And just so you know Elizabeth's younger sister, who shared a room, did hear the perpetrator but was unable to immediately recover the memory.)
In my opinion you cannot take a case of a much older child and apply those parameters (or potential outcomes) to an infant, toddler or preschool child.
Statistically speaking the odds of infant abduction are rare yet one year and under remain the highest risk group for filicide - especially maternal. Not that knowing the statistical probability will change any opinions - just like knowing the slimmest chance of an abduction is still possible doesn't change mine.
On topic: Hopefully more national media attention will finally break this case open.

I think you will find that Debbie tried to tell them that it wasn't her, and she didn't know what happened, but they didn't believe her. What more can she say, and what is the point of going through that again, alone.
She has said she will talk to them if Jeremy and her Lawyer are there. What is wrong with that?
Do you know how many people in prison claim their innocence? I don't believe its reasonable for me, or LE, to believe a person simply because 'they said so'. Few people, in my experience, connected to a crime have integrity and honesty as character traits.

No one, in my opinion, has stopped 'looking for Lisa' because even if she is now among the angels she
deserves to be laid to rest with grace and dignity. Looking for Lisa and believing DB/JI are not mutually exclusive.

The one thing I can say is that this little one has an awful lot of folks who have fallen in love with her and want to bring her home - no matter which side of the fence they may be on.
