This was on my nightly local news. The child was described as shy and not likely to have been friendly with a stranger. Her body was found in Pt. Arthur--several miles from where she lived.
In TV news reports, the father seemed much more upset than the mother. He lived in another town and had an alibi. Not true of the mother.
The child was one of several children--none had the same name.
The mother said the children were aleep when she checked on them and went to bed about 3 a.m.
So the mother doesn't have an alibi... in that maybe she wasn't home while the children slept? Horrid thought!
