Who knows when the parents heard about the gun or the threat or the stopover in the bathroom or the fact that the voice sounded familiar?

I agree with most of your post, but we can't know that. Common sense tells us that a little 9 yr. old, who by description of family members on t.v. interviews and Jeanie Boylan, say she is a very mature, intelligent, gifted child, and I am sure she was traumatized if in fact E. was taken at gunpoint.I do, however, with that description, believe if that happened, she told her parents right then and there. But I have no way to state that as fact. Just my thought of how I hope it would have happened.

If I am not mistaken, the next day it was told that she was taken at gunpoint, and the threat of killing E. was there. Sometime that night, MK told her parents.

Or did she?

She was too terrified to tell her parents at all for 3 hours, and then all of a sudden she was perfectly coherent and recited all the facts clearly? I doubt it. According to police, it was perfectly normal that she was still remembering new details in 2nd and 3rd interviews with child forensic psychologists, days (maybe even a couple of weeks) after the event.
