Here we go again. A little sweetie missing for a very long time, and her parents don't value her enough to talk

Another MSM for reference. Nothing new. Authorities asking for public's help finding 4-year-old Kentucky girl missing more than a year

Why aren't the parents named? If they're not cooperating they most certainly hit the top of the suspect board IMO

 

[LovesPeace2]

[Allynator]

WHY

 

[alexwood]

We know how well the "not cooperating" goes over in a case like this.

 

[Kimkimba]

How come nobody reported this before now? All these poor babies missing - so sad for them.

so based on this - last location, possibly the Shelby, Jefferson, Bullitt Co area - it is reasonable to think the parents moved around a lot in the last couple of years. I don't understand why they are not releasing the parents' names. I mean, it is clear we have no idea when this little gal was last seen alive, and they are uncooperative. So why wouldn't LE release their names so that people who have encountered them in the last year can come forward and say if they've ever seen Serenity, if the parents ever mentioned her or had some story about where she was, etc.

Also, other concerned family members contacted LE. What were they being told since they last saw Serenity? Clearly they didn't believe whatever nonsense the parents were telling them. Where are the interviews with those family members?

It feels like this is not getting the kind of attention from press I would expect. Why aren't they asking these questions? Are the parents in custody? Or just out walking the streets not telling where their child went?

So many questions. And no answers - just the same limited info.

Why is this only coming out now? Missing for over a year?!?!

Good Lord!

Harmony and now Serenity. Interesting that both girls have such sweet and similar meaning names.

Good question. 'Seems that no one in the family noticed. I wonder if little Serenity has siblings and if so... are they okay?

After being here on WS for many years, this is just getting to me! We all knew that lock-downs would possibly cause additional abuse. But, this is the first time that I have personally witnessed sooooo many babies who have disappeared back-to-back-to-back with months / years without being seen. This is beyond heartbreaking to me. I hope that people who are not following crimes, who do no know the horrible things that we know, will reach out to family and check on them! Check on loved ones, friends you haven't talked to for a bit, check on babies whom you may be concerned about. This truly is horrific!

Where is little Serenity???

 

[Trackergd]

[groan] Not another missing child... Uncooperative parents? I wish I could say I am shocked.

 

[Trackergd]

Oh wow... The US Secret Service?! Why?

Yea, that one is a head scratcher. I worked two cases with them in the past. Since this is not involving Presidential protection or US currency, I'm curious.
