[Utah Girl]

Dinse said today that Mary Katherine was on her way to tell her parents right after the abductor and Elizabeth left the bedroom. When she got in the hall, she saw the abductor and Elizabeth yet again. And remembering the fact that the abductor had threatened Elizabeth's life, Mary Catherine went back to bed and waited for two hours before she told her parents. Remember, this is a nine year old little girl, she didn't know how much longer the perp would be in the house, and she was afraid because of the threats. She probably waited an eternity to go tell her parents (or so it felt like to her.) The information about Mary Katherine seeing the abductor again, and going back to bed came from the press conference today, and that info came from interviews with her.

One thing we haven't heard any information about is how the length of the delay was determined. Did MK have the presence of mind to look at a clock and note the time of the abduction? Or is 2 hours her best guess of how long she waited? I tend to think the former, since I believe the official reports have been pretty consistent that it was approximately 2 hours (if anyone has seen any official info that steers clear of pinning down the time lapse, please do share!).

I saw and heard the conference, and having seen the floorplan posted, MC was just across the hall from the parent's bedroom when she most likely saw the abductor for the second time. She obviously forgot what the abductor said when she tried to tell the parents the firs time.... soooooo why not wait for the perp to leave and them tell the parents immediately. She wasn't too afraid to make the first attempt. I only hope they have told her for future reference to tell them things immediately once things are safe, like when the perp had left. Two + hours is a lot of lost time.

She didn't lay in bed paralyzed with fear, she feigned sleep, that's cool, and she got up to tell the parent's, again this is not frozen with fear.
