Well, then I guess we'll never get to solve the mystery, will we, Varina? I hear space-alien abductions are also kept under very strict wraps, so we'd also be s---outta luck if that was the explanation, too!
Take heart. There's still one girl left living in that family, and if anyone knows any such thing about Elizabeth, that person might very well have had it up to here with the abuser!
One can always hope.
