Thankfully, I don’t see any bodies of water around.

Commenters are saying water is nearby on Covington. A former teacher said she is attracted to water and loves being chased. Search the first post I linked above.

Sadly, if Maddelynn "likes to be chased" as stated by her former teacher, she might think it's fun and games if she encounters a predator. She is one of our most vulnerable, and I'm really hoping she will be found unharmed very soon!

Wow that's a rural area!!
I was surprised when I saw your map, @Knox. I’ve only driven through Waldorf on Hwy 301 which is quite busy with lots of stores and fast food places. That area is a good 9 miles from the area she went missing.

It's 1:30 AM in the east, 12:30 here, and I just can't stand the thought of that girl lost in those dark woods surrounding Turner Road!

I was really hoping for good news this morning but as of this writing they haven't found her yet. While I'm still worried about human predators I'm more worried about things like snakes, the elements, or misadventure. Does anyone familiar with her area know what kind of wild animals would be a potential threat to her in the woods along Turner Road?

If there is water nearby then she will find it. I hope they find her soon. Sending positive vibes to all family, LE, and searchers out looking for this little girl.

I wonder if they have tried broadcasting a recording of Mom’s voice over a loudspeaker in the search area. That technique was used in a couple of other missing children’s cases. Because she is autistic, she may be afraid to come forward if she hears the searchers calling her name. I have an autistic grandchild and loud yelling of strangers and loud noises would terrify him when he was younger.
