Reminded me of this, from Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49":
In Golden Gate Park she came on a circle of children in their nightclothes, who told her they were dreaming the gathering. But that the dream was really no different from being awake, because in the mornings when they got up they felt tired, as if they'd been up most of the night. When their mothers thought they were out playing they were really curled in cupboards of neighbors' houses, in platforms up in trees, in secretly-hollowed nests inside hedges, sleeping, making up for these hours. The night was empty of all terror for them, they had inside their circle an imaginary fire, and needed nothing but their own unpenetrated sense of community.
It was the boyfriend who left the little girl on the street. I misunderstood because the little girl called the boyfriend daddy. So it now looks like the boyfriend is involved with the mothers disappearance.

(this is a excerpt)
October 3, 2005 -- Cops are set to search an upstate garbage dump for the body of a pretty Queens mom whose jealous boyfriend admitted strangling her and then abandoning her 4-year-old daughter on a street, sources said yesterday.
Cesar Ascarrunz, 32, told police that after choking Monica Lozada-Rivaineira, 26, on Sept. 24, he put her body in a bag and left it on the street with the trash outside their Forest Hills apartment two days later, sources said.
When he went to retrieve the bag several hours later, it had already been picked up, he said.
Authorities said trash from the area ends up at an upstate site that they plan to search.
But cops, skeptical of the suspect's trash-dump tale, continued searching various Queens parks for Lozada-Rivaineira's body yesterday without success.
Meanwhile, Ascarrunz was ordered held without bail on murder and child-abandonment charges.
The victim's little daughter, Valery Lozada, captured the city's heart after being found wandering in Middle Village on Sept. 25.
