Same here, Gemmie -- wondering if Joshua really did take that nap... a long nap at home... or a long, long walk... or, or, or...Unfortunately I've had it from the get go after the 4.5 hour nap that some can (understandably) relate to.
NOTHING is adding up. how would she know her child was naked and dead in the woods??? Tire tracks? Lack of scratches dirt mud, even on soles of feet? Mom didn't report missing, called her friend who reported her to CPS about it instead?Not at ALL what I expected to hear! (No arrests expected).
==============================================================
Hypothermia and exposure contributed to the death
[snip]
The DA does “not anticipate any arrests will be made in the near future.”
===============================================================Coos County boy, 5, was on the radar of child welfare workers when he died; no arrests expected, prosecutor says
Hypothermia was a “contributing cause of death,” said the Coos County district attorney.www.oregonlive.com
Gemmie again - The DA also said that he doesn't anticipate that any arrests will be made in the near future. Say what?!?!? So, even with the tire track, the "long" nap, and that we've read and what she told her ex-roommate about him being naked and dead in the woods per @tlcya's post upthread:
Documents also say that during that interview she “also made comments about Joshua being naked and dead in the woods.”

Full post HERE. If that's a true statement how in the world would AG have known that!?!?!? Sometime is NOT adding up here IMO!!!
Maybe toxicology report will shed more light on this. I admit, I haven’t read every post or link, but if pills were found in the home & the mother is taking ketamine & downers to sleep, I could see those as a glaring possibility, whether accidental or not. Those types of drugs always cause me to raise my eyebrows.
That doesnt mean that someone didnt cause his death. If someone left him out there alive, thats still foul play

I agree. So then why would the prosecutor say no arrests expected? Any ideas on that? I'm asking as I'm at a total loss as to the why and would love to hear what others think.
Interesting way to put it since it's been said they don't know where his mother is.
im truly at a loss. im hoping this announcement is premature, considering toxicology isnt even back yet. I dont see any scenario where no crime was committed. His feet werent dirty, so he didnt just wander off
Apologies, as my wording may have not been the best. I was attempting to imply the lack of marks indicate no restraints were used so child was likely unable to move due to other reasons. What you mention above just adds to the suspicion/evidence IMO, & I wasn’t intending to discounts those at all (lack of dirty feet, tire tracks, etc.). I get the impression he was alive prior to being removed from the home but not responsive but the hypothermia/exposure likely occurred after being moved I would assume.(shortened for focus)
It's more than no cuts or bruises... there was no mud on the bottom of his feet and he was naked! Joshie didn't float to where he ended up, he was placed there IMO. That is why I just can't wrap my head around the latest news that the prosecutor said no arrests expected. Why the heck not? How are they coming to that conclusion because it makes NO sense to me.
The boy was naked and partially under some brush, but had no scratches or mud on his body, including the bottoms of his feet, court documents said.

Yes. The DA decides on the charges but LE continues gathering evidence/information. That quote says potentially a few things to me:
