"The mother last saw the girl sleeping on the couch at 1:00 AM."

I dunno.....the kids in our family grew up sleeping in their beds at that time in the morning.

It would be interesting to know what the sleeping arrangements were in that rural house with step-father, mother and siblings.

My kids have crashed on the couch before. I don’t think anything of this.

I've crashed on the couch before, but not as a little 6 year-old. If my mom found me on the couch at 1:00 AM, I'd be back in my own bed pronto.

Looking at the whole picture and set of circumstances in this particular case, however, I still find it very interesting that the little girl was on the couch at that time........unless the couch WAS her bed.

Sherlock Holmes would find it interesting, also. Remember "the dog in the night that didn't bark"? The little girl on the couch........time mom saw her 1:00 AM.......murder most foul in the garage also in the middle of the night or early morning........where was the stepfather when the mother saw the child was missing and why didn't she yell for him before going out to the garage where she found the body........some nagging somethings that just seems a little out of place.

I'm just musing and wondering if there were other players and murky things moving about in that house during the dark of night.

The game's afoot.
