WV WV - Aliayah Lunsford, 3, Lewis Co., 24 Sep 2011 - # 4

[mikeysmommom]

from same link above:
Thursday, agents searched the Comfort Inn room where the family moved yesterday, after its Dennison Street home became a crime scene.
I wonder who's paying for that?

Weird that they searched hotel room.Really not looking good for this child.

I just hope she is found. Too many aren't.

Although it's being called a potential criminal act, investigators still believe Aliayah's unharmed.

That's a weird statement

From what I understand the bio dad does not know he is baby A's dad - or does he? Could he have arranged for baby to be taken - through friends or other family? I think he is in jail but even from jail things can be arranged on the outside.

Aliayah's mother, Lena Lunsford, has four other children and two of them were sleeping in the room with the 3 year old. According to Gissy, all of the children and family members have been questioned extensively about the last time the child was seen.

My family members live next door to this man and they never heard anything
until LE knocked on their door and started asking questions. They were shocked!!! They have never seen the children outside or have never seen the parents........VERY ODD!!!!!

Several days later the FBI knocked and basically asked the same questions....
their answer......Never saw anything.........

I only have one son but if we had moved in the neighborhood he would have been to every house there and introduced himself and I would be chasing behind him all the way!!!!!!!! God love his little heart..... anic:

:waitasec: what in the world could they have been looking for, Aliayah's clothing? Nothing else comes to mind..can anyone else think of other things they could have been looking for?

 

[elepher50]

That's not good - not good at all. If he's outside, wouldn't he hear mama screaming for her 3 year old? Someone please tell me she at least looked around before hopping in her car?

:banghead:

Mel

Okay, I will tell you that ... she looked around before hopping in her car .... to see if anybody was watching her before she left.

Sad, sad situation imo.

I find it even weirder that they released the name of the hotel, given how LE have seemed to shield the family from any press coverage and have til now been careful not to disclose the location of where the family had been moved to.

I hope people respect their privacy. Particularly since mom is said to be in hospital at the moment having the twins and it is a good bet that it is an aunt or other relative caring for the children. Aliayah's brothers and sisters have been through so much, I really don't want them frightened or harassed.

Only thing I can think of is that they were checking for tape marks on any of the older children's mouths.

I am totally and utterly dumbfounded that Lena did not alert neighbours or ask for help or ask if they saw Baby A. on Saturday morning before going on a two hour tour. Totally dumbstruck I am.

Day 6 of Search for Missing Lewis County Girl

Denzil McHenry's home sits directly across from the Lunsford home on Dennison Street. But he remembers it usually being a quiet home.

"It's weird if you have five kids and you never see them out playing," he said.

But that's not the only question McHenry has regarding the family. McHenry said he was out loading his truck all Saturday morning, but never saw anything strange, despite what Lena Lunsford told police.

"I was here until a little bit before 10 [a.m.]," he said. "I never heard anybody hollering or screaming, come outside looking for anybody. Nobody ever came out to ask me if I'd seen her or seen anything or nothing."

That tells me just about all, but SD is still also in the picture as to what may have happened. UGGGH.:furious:

:waitasec: what in the world could they have been looking for, Aliayah's clothing? Nothing else comes to mind..can anyone else think of other things they could have been looking for?

A weapon, medications (OTC), illicit drugs, prescriptions, clothes mom and dad were known to wear the night of the party that the child soiled herself, clothes mom and dad had on the day she went missing, anything that reacts to luminol, if she were asleep in the bed with a sibling they may want the clothes the sibling had on that night, her favorite toy or blanket that may have been in bed with her or just to know that the favorite toy or blanky may be also missing if another child mentioned she had one, all of the shoes that belong to both parents, trash and garbage bags, rolls of tape, rope, twine, a larger blanket that was recently known to be in the home that is not there now, a can of brake cleaner or anything else with ether in it, bug spray/permethrin/ rat poison, syringes, burnt spoons, any evidence of hard core drug use or drug paraphernalia,belts, anything that could be used as a ligature, pillows, the original bedding from the bed she slept in if it has been changed/washed, anything at all they could make an arrest for so as to divide and conquer (so to speak).
(I'll quit now)...

I'm sure others can add to this...

I know! Five kids and neighbors never heard or saw them, three of the five sleeping in the same room with Aliayah, all children have been questioned extensively, mom didn't look through the neighborhood or inquire of neighbors if they'd seen Aliayah. WTH is really going on here!
Are the children so programmed and terrified that they could convincingly lie to protect someone else?

 

[mikeysmommom]

Le might not have kept watch over the family as they packed to leave the house.Maybe Le were hoping they would pack something that would show what really happened. I just hope the room has a bug in it.

She told police she went missing between that time and 9:30 a.m., when she left to search for her.

well... that is a bit inconsistent, eh?

 

[Sharedspirit]

Oldest child is 11. I can see the mom not wanting the kids out playing without her, in a new neighborhood. And how she may not have the time or energy to take them all outside. I would not let my children at that age play outside alone and we don't know what kind of restrictions her dr. may have put her on because of the twins. Sound like she didn't have much of a support system for help either.

Yes they could be imo as they lost their mom for a period of time while she was incarerated. Children by nature (most people actually) are more comfortable with the known than the unknown. Meaning if they lose mom again where are they going to be sent. My opinion is that the children are and have been living in fear for quite some time.

My heart goes out to the Lunsford children .... Baby A. and all of them including the unborn ones.

 

[tlcya]

We have only the very limited details available regarding the timeline that were given second hand from LE. We are told that mom and 9 year old sibling saw the child at 6:30. I am not ready to say children are deathly afraid or programmed at this point.

I would very much like to know in what state Aliayah was when seen and who decided what time it was. I am betting the 9yr old did not look at the clock at the time whatever was seen was seen and the timeline is based solely off mom's witness statement and the surveillance videos of the drive. Everything else is built around that. If that is faulty the whole thing falls apart as to what everyone else's corroborating facts mean. KWIM?

That's why this lack of information/facts is so maddening from where we all sit.

ETA although the factors listed in the post above me are all very relevant and possible as well. I mean to say that we really don't know what the children have seen, know or relayed. I am not ready to assume that they know more than they have told to LE and are keeping mum or consciously lying.

 

[nursebeeme]

so, if your kid is missing and you rush outside to drive around to find her... why not ask the neighbor outside loading his truck?

something not adding up here ((to me at least))

I took as he was out much earlier and never heard screams, no abductor, no searching etc. Was it 9:00 when she ck'd on her & 9:30 when she left? I have read conflicting reports.

 

[bessie]

A friendly reminder for everyone, please tread very carefully when mentioning the other children. :tyou:
