While numerous regional news outlets have been reporting on this for days, this has been ignored by the bigger news networks... Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all of them.

Why? They figure a missing girl in Portugal is more important? Is it that she is niether a minority nor rich? Or is it just that the big city elitists think a missing child in "Fly-over country" is unimportant?

Madelyn McAnn has been missing for months, and likely dead. This little girl may still be alive, and if the big media gets off their butts and helps out, maybe she will be alive when she is found.

Nice to know that the big media outlets do not give a damn about our children around here.

I’m not comfortable with the stepfather’s story. I hope it doesn’t turn out for the worse.

He left a 9 year old at home alone at night?

What stuns me is no one bothered to check on this child. Something smells here.

Most everyone in our community are skeptical about his story, but in the absence of evidence, I do not think we can ASSUME that it happened differently than the Step-father says.

Local police and FBI (there are currently about 50 fbi here) are so focused on the step-father that they may be overlooking other possibilities. No amber alert has even been issued yet.

The Step-fathers story is fishy, but there are some possibilities as to why he does not give a good accounting of his time during that period. He may have been out with some of the local cranksters doing drugs or something and does not want to fess up. Just because he is not giving a good accounting of his whereabouts does not mean he is responsible (directly) for her disappearance.

From the first of the article, I suspected the step father and my suspicions were confirmed the more I read. I’m sorry, but he definitely did something to Rowan, killed her, and got his mother to bring over the car so he could dispose of the body. He and his buddies might have done something before they left the first time, but I’m thinking he did the deed after they dropped him off around midnight hence the need for mama’s car at 1:30 and the 5 1/2 hour trip in it for the rest of the night. She obviously knows much more than what she’s told so far. Hope the police are searching the car, getting soil samples from the tires, checking gas purchases and security cameras, and having the girl’s mother go through the house/garage to find any missing bedding or tarps. Anyone know how long mom and stepdad been together and his criminal history?

Copeland described the stepfather as “less than cooperative

Sounds like the step father and his buddies would be a good place to start the investigation.

Sorry for the repeat.

No problem. I just wanted you to know that some of us have been thinking about her even if big media has taken a pass.

The Neosho paper has a little more on the search for this little girl.
