What voice, and person would that leave to be familiar with, so that if arroused in the night by this person, and talked to..she would quietly get up..get her shoes and leave?

What voice and person would be familiar with MK, so that she would not scream and wait 2-3 hours before saying anything to her parents? DID THE PERSON TELL HER THAT THE PARENTS SAID IT WAS OK ? (remember she is 9 )...

Maybe someone trusted in the community? Maybe a bishop whom the girls thought should be beyond reproach? Maybe a distant family member? Maybe just someone who had agree to help Liz escape an intolerable situation?

Where is that person now? I think that person is back doing whatever they did b/f Elizabeth disappeared (or he is dead), because he killed her and hid her body.

I would hope that the police would check out your ex-bishop as to his alibi on the night in question. If you think they have missed this, you really ought to anonymously e-mail them with this suggestion.

Hey, varina, have you ever heard of those occasional cases in which the police or news report goes like this:

A man came upon another man raping a woman. He assisted the woman, chasing off the rapist. Unfortunately, he then raped her himself.

Every now and then, I've heard such a thing. Suppose this person who "wanted to help Elizabeth out of a bad situation" was actually someone who wanted to take advantage of her himself? Or suppose someone convinced Elizabeth she was in a bad situation, when in fact it wasn't that bad--or there was some more legitimate way out? Even if this person is some sort of good Samaritan, the way they chose to "help" this girl is highly questionable, and doesn't speak well for THEIR intentions.
