"Please, please continue to get the word out about our little girl nationwide. While investigators are working around-the-clock, all of you watching can help us by continuing to distribute fliers and posters so her picture can be seen nationwide," Brenda van Dam said.

She also had a direct message for her missing child, in case she might wind up seeing a broadcast of the news conference: "I would hope that if she sees me, she knows we are all waiting for her at home," she said. "Please ask this person to just let you go. We love you. We want you back."

Kim, I wish I could read that the way you'd like, but even in those two quotes, I find pause as to Brenda's honesty.

The second also could be a memorized line from a press release, but in that Brenda leads with the "I would hope that if she sees me". It's the "if she sees me" that is a possible gainsay, a possible escape clause to the rest.
