Bendale Church, next to the armory, did have food and drink for the searchers. All other churches are bringing donations and other people too. The divers are beneath the bridge I mentioned earlier. they did add a guardrail to the bridge at some point.
Of course, the rumors are flying: Mom had Aliayah while in prison. They didn't stir until 11:00 yesterday which is why it was so late when they reported it. They party until late and don't get up until late. Not very sociable. Aliayah had a fever and was sick. They suspect the stepdad harmed her. They were too drunk to do a polygraph on last night. Mom is 36 weeks pregnant with twins and was drunk last night. No one knows if Aliayah was missing for longer, they hadn't seen her in a while.
I do know that if a child wandered off in that neighborhood, the dogs would have barked and someone would have noticed her. If she made it to the highway, someone could have taken her. People are expanding their searches, most saying that they are not looking at how far off a 3-year-old can wander, but where someone could take her. The family is calmly standing around the yard talking to people milling around. I think if she is anywhere in that neighborhood, she would have been found by now. Every inch has been searched. I also worry about the neighbors saying they were not sociable at all, makes me worry about isolation and abuse.
