"If friends helped them, then that would explain why the girl’s body wasn’t found during a search after the police were called."

Sorry but I can not buy this.

I agree, it's not probable - I don't have any friends that would do such a thing to help me - but it's plausible. Who knows what favors these friends have done for each other in the past? Maybe these people have been "partners in crime" with each other before.

A friend from long ago in my younger days & I used to joke, that we have to be friends forever because we know so much on each other. Maybe one of the other doctor friends was who supplied the narcotic or whatever might have been used on the children. Maybe that's why one of their children was "vomiting", according to the parent. Who knows?
