Agreed! It's pretty early on and they have already ruled out the brother and the boyfriend as suspects. Based on the facts we have, it would seem premature to do that. I think it means they have a lot more information than we know. You make a really good point about the blood. There's an eery similarity here to a book I read recently called Still Missing, by Chevy Stevens. Anyone read it? I'm terrified by what has happened to this poor girl and my heart breaks for her family and friends but I think she is alive. This sounds like something that was planned and calculated for a long time (i.e. surveilling the family, planning a get-away, etc.). I think it sounds more like someone who took her to keep. I hope they find her soon!
