I just watched this Patty and you are absolutely right! She does say there will be more at 11:30. I'm hoping they are going to tell us they have Shaniya.
On another thought - I have only seen one video with the dad. For all of you that have been following closely - what is the general consenus on the dad? Does he look like a stand up fellow that will take good care of his daughter?

He seemed normal enough that I wondered what would be so wrong with him (as I did before he went public) that he couldn't get custody over this mother who has his kid living in an overrun trailer with sewage and possible drug use in it. I wonder if race became a custody issue.
I also thought that maybe the mother and someone connected to her may have decided that he had "money" (relatively speaking here) and would pay a ransom.
LE must have decided that they stand a better chance with him as their public face than the mother. I'd think that they would allow the standard plea for return, even if she was pulling a Susan Smith.
