Also reading people interviewed in Utah say he has been in trouble since he watched his father committ suicide. Also read her mother died.

I'm guessing because they had his picture on the signs and such that were distributed. I think that got so much more attention so he got the eyes on him. I imagine maybe with some sort of psycho-therapist or something they could talk to the child and get more information, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it counting for a whole lot.

Well that would certainly make sense then! The siblings last name is Barker - my post above said she was married to a Barker and divorced in 2017. Obviously the little girl had been with them in TX though so how did they only then think she was missing? Doesn't make sense to me.
When I read that they had pulled him over and didn't run his license, I got so sick to my stomach.

I pray that this precious child was in some way shielded from the events that unfolded around her. How sad.
It is difficult to fathom as this would probably have made a difference - he might not have been free to confront the Butlers. I wonder if a park ranger is the difference here and if it had been state or local LE things would have been checked further. Not meaning to downplay the role of park rangers...I just don't know if they have the same authority or ability to check past arrests. Plus since he was pulled over by a ranger, I suspect this took place on the beach rather than on a local street/highway. JMO
They have LE authority within the jurisdiction of the park, specifically. Also state and national parks have their own LE. I do not know what the boundaries are of the PINS. You are correct, he may have technically been out of his jurisdiction on the beach. Also perhaps if he was driving on the beach and not on a road, might be why there was no citation issued or license run.
Other people said the same thing, but I think when you examine that closer what you are seeing is some kind of lighting anomaly from the overhead lights on the panel of the truck door. It seemed like to me, anyway. She is wearing a bracelet, but it looks like a jewelry cuff to me. Just my entirely unqualified opinion.
Maybe she had the child with her and was not outside or in violation of the custody or visitation arrangement with the baby's daddy.

In her court appearance this morning, she was wearing the band. It is clear in # 5.
Two suspects in New Hampshire couple's deaths face court | Daily Mail Online
A lot of people thought she had a hospital band in the border crossing pic but it was unclear.
Oh maybe she got that when she was deported. I could be mistaken, but it was my understanding that Mexico didn't really extradite her, but deported her. It was my understanding the warrant for her was issued later. Again I could be understanding that incorrectly. But maybe the process and ID is different for deportation than extradition. Under arrest they are not going to let her wear jewelry. Maybe it is a prison ID band for the women.

in a lot of jails inmates are required to wear a wristband w their name and some have their booking pic on it.
Plate number from William's Chevy with Utah plates from warrant information comes up a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L V8 4x4 3 door. That's where the confusion is with truck. No clue where this Tacoma comes in at identity mistake, someone helping or ? We may not ever know.
