WV WV - Aliayah Lunsford, 3, Lewis Co., 24 Sep 2011 - # 2

I couldn't go search yesterday, but some of the next door neighbors went. There were a lot less people searching, as everyone has to work. They are still using the church as the command center. I did go to the bus stop in front of the armory and spoke to a couple of neighbors, which is where I heard that they wouldn't let mom search. They also said they couldn't see where someone can come into the neighborhood or the child wander out of it without being noticed. Everyone thinks she is not in the area, but keep searching just in case. The only thing anyone has said about the investigation is they think the bloodhounds should have been called in from the start and not hours later. The timeline is what has everyone puzzled here too.

She is a shy child. I don't believe she walked out the door. I believe she has been abducted or worse.

I hope and pray she is still alive.

Just speculation:

I sat and thought about it. I can't remember ever reading or hearing of a case where a child had been given an overdose of meds (meds for kids) and the parent(s) who found the child unresponsive or deceased hid the child's body.

I can think of a few that where the child found an illegal drug and ingested it and the parents tried to hide that fact (I'd have to do a google search but I do remember reading that). Usually the child is hidden to cover illegal activities going on in the home. JMHO.

I don't see that as the case here. At least not by what has been reported. So I won't even go there with that.

Is it possible that she got out of the house on her own? Sure. Is it probable that she did and can't be located with all the searching going on? It's getting less probable every hour.

Not pointing the finger at anyone. I hope she is found soon and safe.

OT:
You know what chaps my hide? Let's assume that she didn't go missing of her own volition. If she can't be located then she will join the very large number of missing children that we have listed on this site that simply "vanished" off the face of the earth and the last people known to have been with her or to have seen her get to just carry on as if nothing happened if they keep their mouths shut long enough.

Not saying that's what happened here just blowing off some steam. Bless her heart. I hope she's found soon.

I was so hoping to hear good news this morning. UGH. Sweet child.. where are you????

 

[CN2Souls]

Can anyone point me to where there maybe a picture of her room or the layout of the inside of the home... if there is any...

TY in advance...:hug:

 

[wenc]

You are not the first one to think of her being sold, just not for economic reasons and keep in mind this is hearsay, I do not know them myself, but the family's reputation is not good.

respectfully snipped
I swear, I never believed in aliens but after joining WS and seeing how many people just {poof} disappear... sometimes I wonder.

There's barely any pics of Aliayah.. nevermind her room!

 

[JeannieC]

I keep thinking about something and I can't shake it so I'll just say it... Considering the economic situation of the family plus the economic situation in that entire area ... I wonder if Aliayah was sold?
Not for horrible reasons, but to a family desperate for a child.
After I wrote it .. kinda seems ridiculous and deviant BUT it happens
Considering what probably happened, this would be a GOOD thing...

You're right. It does happen. I wonder when was the last time anyone outside of the family saw her. If my child were missing the first place I would go is to the neighbors. Have you seen her, did you see anyone, and to the river.

I don't know how far she drove or what is located near to them and she is 8 months pregnant with twins and an 11 month old baby so driving would be better in her condition and maybe she did go to the neighbors first. I don't know.

I just hope and pray they find her soon!

Thought maybe NG did a walk through like she did in the Haleigh Cummings case.

IMO I believe that the children just don't vanish without a trace. I believe in many of these instances (Caylee, Josh in TX, Aliayah) the family has had some run ins with LE and would be scared to turn to them when an accident happens. I believe the over the counter drugs like cold medicine etc are given as well as others to calm or quiet the child...and then the child OD's. The parents are scared about being responsible for giving the drugs to the kids and therefore hide the child's body.

I wish she had, but no one from the family even talked on the show. it was all previously taped clips from the local news...

Did she conceive the twins in the hospital after the birth? That is really fast.

I don't know. My Step-father used to tease my Mom about the same thing (getting pregnant at the hospital; because my older brother and sister are 9 monts apart- so it is possible) I don't know how people can have so many children so close together. I have two boys and they are 12 years apart.

Here are pics of the outside of the home. I'm trying to get an exact address so we can look on the tax appraisers site and maybe get a layout of the home.

http://www.newser.com/story/8444/fda-may-ban-cold-medicines-for-young-children.html

I had to research this myself because I'm not sold on the overdose of cold medication theory.. BUT since this report, alot of these medications have been removed from the shelves:
http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/news/20101122/accidental-overdose-of-cold-drugs-kids-declines

So, if it was an overdose, I think it was intentional (meaning someone just wanted to over medicate Aliayah so she would stop crying, go to sleep)

Lastly to address a comment about people not calling the police when a child is over medicated and dies because the parent is afraid of getting in trouble.. in this day and age, an ambulance chasing lawyer would jump all over that situation and the family might end up with a SETTLEMENT not jail time but then again they might not be thinking this way.

A few years ago a 3 year old girl disappeared from her home, a trailer in SC. Searchers were everywhere. RSO's were questioned, LE went door to door. Not a sign of her. 3 months later they found a grave not far from the trailer.

A neighbor was a sex offender but not registered in SC. He was staying with his mother. He actually had the child in her trailer for 3 days without her knowing it. He drugged the child and did what he wanted then he killed her and buried her behind the parents trailer.

Sounds unreal but it wasn't. LE had spoken to him and his mother more than once!

I hope they keep looking at the neighbors. Someone might have gotten in the home and taken her. If a person can go in a trailer and get a child then it can happen here too!
