Those who lived near the little girl and her mother in Northfield came home to a crime scene with roads taped off since 39-year-old Wade was found Saturday morning.

"That's a terrible thing to happen," Northfield resident Kyle LaFontaine said.

LaFontaine's girlfriend's sister lives in the townhomes.

"She told me we've seen that kid out here multiple times playing and stuff while we are over visiting her sister and saw the mom too, we would have never expected that," LaFontaine said.

Olamza lives across the street from where Elle's mother was found, but said she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary the past few days.

New: State Crime Lab investigators just returned to townhome where missing 6 year-old girl Elle Ragin lived with her mother. PD say they feel the mother, Lisa Wade, may have played role in her child’s disappearance. PD says they feel Wade took her own life.@kstp

FWIW, many of those commenting on MSM news articles, say Lisa was a wonderful Mom. So I feel there may be hope that Elle is safe somewhere. I'm heartbroken Lisa felt taking her life was the only answer to whatever pain she was in. Hoping the tips that came in today bring good news tomorrow.

ugggh, This^^^ wording really bothers me. PD 'feels' she may have played a role in child's disappearance....Pd 'feels' she took her own life.

I wish it was more definitive---like they have her on cctv leaving with the child and returning alone, and a video of her saying she was about to kill herself.

Just saying they 'feel' she did this seems so inconclusive.

any word on when they plan to give us the update mentioned here?

Northfield police continue search for missing girl, expected to give update Tuesday afternoon

 

[Limecat]

I’m praying so hard for this beautiful little girl. I lived not far from Northfield for three decades. It’s just unimaginable. And seeing the photos of mom and her little girl together I just cannot fathom what went wrong. I wonder if there could have been an accident and mom for whatever reason couldn’t report it? I cannot wrap my brain around another scenario. Holding out a glimmer of hope, but as we all know, after this much time, it’s barely a glimmer. All MOO and speculation.

This article was just updated: Northfield police continue search for missing girl, give update Tuesday afternoon

Ragin, who remains missing three days after her mother was found dead in their townhome, was last seen on June 19, according to Elliott. Two days later, her mother, 39-year-old Lisa Wade, drove to Mississippi River County Park. That afternoon, Wade’s phone shut off and hasn’t turned back on.

The following week, police say family members said Wade seemed “distraught.” Wade died of an apparent suicide at their townhome Saturday.

It's certainly concerning that Elle was last seen June 19th while her mother is seen on video between June 23 and July 2 without her daughter. Family says the mother was distraught the week of June 25th. Sadly, I think I know how this will turn out.

Moo...wonder what else was going on in the mothers life? Their pics together look very caring. Guess we will not know unless they find the child.

Northfield police fear they may not be able to find missing 6-year-old Elle Ragin

Police say they fear the search for a missing Minnesota girl may end in a park.

www.cbsnews.com

"Since Ragin's reported disappearance, police have received hundreds of leads, including clues that pointed them to Mississippi River County Park near Rice. That's where they found Ragin's cellphone on land, and her mother's phone and purse in the water."

According to police, a Stearns County deputy had contact with Wade on June 23 at the park near her parked vehicle. She said she lost her phone and car keys while hiking and needed assistance. She was alone at the time.

Police say cell phone records obtained by search warrant discovered that Wade drove from her home to the park on June 21. At about 3 p.m. her cellphone shut off in the area of the park.

Northfield police believe Ragin's body is somewhere in the park, but say that based on the information and evidence discovered, they may not be able to find her."
