Profile it.
We don't actually the point from which MM was abducted, whether from her bed or if she wandered from 5a om her own, to find her parents. Based on the intervals between safety checks, she could have been missing for a fair amount of time before they realized it.
If it was crime of opportunity, a guest or employee of the resort, I don't think it would have remained a mystery.
I don't know what the actual statistics are, but in a lot of SA abductions, the children are assaulted and often murdered within the hour.
Why wasn't MM found, assaulted and discarded, somewhere nearby?
Because she wasn't kidnapped by a local. She was removed from the area. MOO
And IMO not by someone acting in a panic but rather by someone with a plan.
What's different about this case IMO dovetails with what is known about CB's proclivities.
He had the ability to walk her away, secret her in vehicle and escape the area. Didn't discard her in the first hour nor the first 24 because he is a different brand of offender. If his writings are too be believed, he wanted to keep a little. And MM going missing and staying missing fits with that, in a way that most abductions IMO don't (assault, kill, discard).
The fact that MM disappeared from that resort with people so close and that she wasn't recovered deceased from nearby informs us what kind of person might be able, capable and comfortable doing so.
The absence of evidence can be evidence.
