TY STG, I can’t go for about an hour, I like where Grannie was going, but I’m so confused by the outer bump bump of the “carton”.

At Sheetz now. They think it’s either a BAI drink or a Juul pod. They see the black writing near the bottom of the object.

Only square drinks I see here are Arizona tea and Alo. Nothing with handles. Cups they sell with handles are not white.

That’s all I got.

State Police and the Indiana County DA just gave a brief press conference from Pine Ridge Park in Indiana County where they confirm the body of abducted toddler, #NalaniJohnson, has been found. She was just 2 years old. The latest from officials at 11 on @abc27News

Complete strangers are showing up to the park where Nalani Johnson was found. They said they’ve been following this story since day 1 and are absolutely heartbroken. Such a sad story. http://www.wpxi.com

I just heard the District Attorney in the conference, did he repeatedly say "Individual (S) involved? He said it twice. Could that have been a misspoke kind of thing or are they looking at others?

I listened a few times, he definitely says Individuals! Plural. Maybe a mistake but I have a feeling there is a lot more to this story.

I was just about to listen to that again. I remember him saying to what extent Nancy is involved, they aren't sure...paraphrasing. MOO

"A friend of the family says Nancy is an acquaintance and not related to the child."

Yeah, I was gonna say, this ever-shifting story is screaming "extramarital affair" at the top of its lungs. Nobody knows they know each other... because their relationship is illicit.

Already on page #2 it's mentioned that Nancy was an "aquantance", and I also think LE mentioned it. If the girl's father had an affair with a married woman, it's not surprising that he didn't tell his mother about it, she might not have approved of it. His friends seems to know that they knew each others, although maybe not that it was in the biblical way of knowing.

I found his wording interesting. I went back and watched it a few times.

 

[Tealgrove]

There's more to the story I am sure. Buckle up...we've only just got started.

MOO

Ok I just watched the news conference, I have a theory.

What if the father hit nalani/ left her unattended, left drugs out etc.. and nalani was seriously injured and or unconscious..an argument breaks out between sharena and the friend, sharena wants to call an ambulance/ take nalani to the hospital, the friend is concerned about the police, sharena tells them to get out and takes off with nalani. The father and friend immediately decide to place blame onto sharena and call 911 to clear themselves. At this point, I don't know why sharena wouldn't have called the police and/ or an ambulance, maybe the father has some kind of dirt on her? Maybe if drugs were involved, sharena had something in her system? (Has she and the father and friend been drug tested?) I'm thinking nalani passed away in her vehicle, (sharenas husband did say her car was silent while on the phone with her, after the video call was cut off), and she panicked and got nalani out of her car, and then turned around and went the opposite direction not thinking rationally.

My heart is filled with sadness and my mind is filled with anger.....

The DA definitely said individuals and he said it more than once.

That poor sweet little girl.

Yep, and he says it more than once. Here's what I heard:

2:25 "And, make no mistake that we are working very hard to ensure that the individuals involved will be brought to justice."

2:32 "There is one individual currently in custody that has been previously reported. Allegheny County has custody of her and we believe that she is involved, uh, to what extent - that is still being determined."

2:50 "We do not believe that there is any need for alarm in the community. We believe that the community is safe and that we are working all leads to make sure that we are able to bring the individuals involved to justice."

Nalani's father did NOT tell LE that he had romantic relationship with Nancy. Nancy's husband found out about their relationship through snapchat and contacted LE himself about it so yeah the father never told LE about his connection with this woman and I find it highly suspect. My source of information on this is at this link:

Husband of alleged child snatcher is devastated after seeing wife’s Snapchat [Exclusive]

Rahain said he had never heard of Johnson’s name until he spoke with a detective, following his wife’s arrest. Rahain said afterward, he went to his wife’s Snapchat account to investigate. He provided a screenshot of his wife’s friends list, which showed the screen name “pauljohnson-115,” with the display name #BEENTRILL.

Johnson’s mother, Taji Walsh, previously told CBS Pittsburgh that they didn’t know the woman.

Thank you, but this article still does not say the father didn’t tell police about his relationship with Nancy. It says Rahain didn’t know about it until he talked to detectives and he then investigated her SM. It says he provided a screenshot but I read that as he showed the screenshot to the reporter. Sorry, not trying to be argumentative—I just want to know what’s actually a fact.

Everyone keeps saying this. That the father was not admitting that he knew her. Do we know he did not tell police that he had a relationship with her? I’ve seen videos of the grandmother saying it, but not the father. Maybe she didn’t know?
Just curious if there’s a link to that? TIA!

Exactly! Just because the Grandma “apparently” didn’t know the extent of her son’s relationship with her (S.Nancy), doesn’t mean he told her nor LE

Respectfully, NONE of us know what Nalani’s father told LE and your link doesn’t provide factual evidence of, so I’m a little lost as to why the link? The grandmother, paternal, may not have known her son’s involvement with this married woman at the point she stated this. I feel like I may be missing something? But grandma, bless her huge heart, was also on vacation in CA (as she stated in the press conference) at the time this all went down.
As previously posted, prior to her full knowledge today (at presser is all we all know), her 22 her old son very well have been crapping bricks to have to tell his Mom he was engaged in an affair with a married woman.
As for this woman’s husband.... he is in the country of India. He was not there. Nothing he says is of any relevance u til proven otherwise.... he seesaws back and forth in his every interview the last 48 hours.
I’m not by any means claiming Nalani’s father is innocent.... I don’t know as I wasn’t there, but let’s be careful in assumptions/conclusions based off reporter interviews, etc.
SBM from the article you linked:
Johnson’s mother, Taji Walsh, previously told CBS Pittsburgh that they didn’t know the woman.
“We don’t know her personally,” Walsh told the outlet.

Such sad news to report tonight: The body of little Nalani Johnson was found today at a park in Indiana County. Someone just placed these teddy bears and flowers at the park entrance. @KDKA

Body of abducted toddler found in Indiana County park
UPDATE: Pennsylvania State Police and the Indiana County District Attorney’s Office just concluded a press conference where they confirmed that the body of Nalani Johnson, 2, has been found at Pine Ridge Park, which is in Indiana County.

Indiana Co. District Attorney Patrick Dougherty said at the press conference that information right now is limited, and they are not providing details about what led them to that park.

The FBI, Coroner’s Office, State Police and the Allegheny County Police are all assisting with the investigation.

Dougherty said an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

Officials are urging the public to respect the family’s privacy at this time.

Is it possible she was promised payment, as someone very on the periphery/unlikely to be named as a suspect (in dad's eyes), to dispose of the body, and that's what they were arguing about? And then when she drove off the dad, for whatever reason (anger or even pre-planned) decided to try to pin it all on her? And then she panicked and came up with her version?

I just heard the District Attorney in the conference, did he repeatedly say "Individual (S) involved? He said it twice. Could that have been a misspoke kind of thing or are they looking at others?

I caught the same. IMO it’s either for standard verbiage.
