Not sure what you are saying. Whether it was the mom, the mom’s boyfriend, the bio-dad of the baby or the little boys, the missing handyman, a neighbor, or a complete stranger, it would be evil to steal/harm a little one.
You didn’t read the other statistic. 278 kidnappings. It;s proportional.
Did mom fall asleep right away or was she up when hubby (whatever) got home at 4 AM.
Police will often arrest somebody, if they are either wanting to pressure them to confess or to remove them temporarily, so they can’t interfere when evidence is being sought.
—The police would have been asking what you did to your daughter too.—
A huge differnce in my case would have been twofold. First, both the natural parents were the “custodians” in the house and, second, the footprints.
A distant third is that there was no motive. We really were a “leave it to beaver” family. The story would not have sounded at all weird (other than her being abducted) and there would have been no grocery store trips to get boxed wine, etc.
That is one of the interesting aspects to these cases. There are usually odd twists to the stories. ‘Course, as I read that I realize that most people’s daily activity seems “odd” when placed within the context of a major crime being committed.
Actually, in most jurisdictions, if the police have just cause, they can arrest you and hold you temporarily without being charged with anything.
It’s weird for sure....but apparently there was no baby accompanying. I’m thinking dead for sure.
And he would certainly turn up his nose at anything less then $150 a bottle, I’m sure.
Ironically, I’ve been reading “Hannibal”. Good book. Dr. Lecter certainly stands out as one of the greatest literary villains of all time. It’s the combination of extreme psychopathy and extraordinary intellect.
Of the 800,000 children reported missing annually, approximately 69,000 are abducted:
Family members account for the majority of these reported cases (82 percent)
Non-family abductions account for 12,000 of these reported cases (18 percent)
Of non-family abductions, 37 percent are by a stranger (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
So, of the 12,000 non-family abductions, 4,440 are by a stranger. Way too many, but out of 69,000 they are a relatively small percentage.
“”Accdg to FoxNews””
Yeah, right! Late last week Megyn Kelly had so many inconsistencies in her reporting, it was painful to watch. It’s all about ratings, folks.
There was a reporter on the ground when Megyn did her reporting and she contradicted nearly every point that Megyn reported. It should have been embarrassing but not one stumble; just continued to forge ahead.. She should have been screaming, “Where is this garbage coming from? I’m not going to report junk that is unconfirmed.”
—It is an ugly world out there.—
I remember when they started putting kids pictures on milk cartons. The statistics about abducted children were frightening. The sheer volume had my wife and I very concerned along with the rest of the parents in our “family builders” church class. We all had multiple single digit aged children.
Then one day I dug into the stats and found that all of these “abducted” children, except for an average of one child per state per year, were abducted by an estranged spouse or relative.
Concerns vanished. I should worry more about them slipping in the tub.
It ties into this too. When there is no motive for anyone else to abduct your child and one of the adults in the house is not the child’s natural or adoptive parent, the police are going to look at the family unit for clues to who dunnit.
—This case has some really odd situations that just don’t seem to fit together. —
This is like the proverbial teenager explaining “what happened lat night at the party where they called the cops.” It doesn’t fit together for a very simple reason: They’re lying.
With the proverbial teenager, it’s kinda funny. With stuff like this, it isn’t.
I am politically conservative and religiously orthodox; I believe that evil exists. In fact, I know that all people are capable of evil, even mothers of adorable babies. Having read everything out there about his case, as well as about twenty other missing child cases, I am betting the mother killed the baby by accident and has hidden the body.
Yes, Dr. Moriarity with a bad habit..........
By law, Germans had to buy the book, just for the record.
Hitler became the equivalent of a billionaire, in his time, from the sale of that evil little book.
I read that there is about 200 million dollars in unclaimed royalties in an account waiting to be claimed for whomever is closely related to Hitler.
And nobody wants to claim it.
I heard FIVE hours, not a “couple” (two). Around 5 pm.
GUILTY! Buying paper plates at 5pm is proof of something sinister.
I suspect you know the mother of this baby personally. Most thinking people who are actually familiar with the facts of the case understand that the police are on the right path here. Brace yourself because your friend will be arrested soon.
Don’t know if her buying the plates is connected with the case or not, but if it was a perfectly innocent act, it can be cleared up in a couple of phonecalls and police visit.
I think the mother is genuinely grief-stricken because the baby died by accident. She loved the child, but it died in her care, and she hid the body out of fear she’d be blamed. That’s what I’m betting.
If I have a large percentage of a certain sub-category of a category that is itself very small, that doesn’t make the sub-category common.
Anywho, I’d like to see a source for the total 278 kidnappings. It sounds very low to me.
