Boyfriend said:
We don’t even live over here.
The child’s mother said she went inside an apartment for a few minutes while the child was playing outside. When the mother returned, the child was missing.
Which apartment, their own? If it was their own, it would mean that she walked completely away from the immediate area, as in way out of sight and sound of the playground. Sheesh. If she made any sort of habit of doing things like that, I can see where some of the residents are annoyed and are maybe complaining about her.
It was also reported that the mom & boyfriend were sighted in a convenience store the night before, and the baby was not with them, this might be consistent with leaving the child home alone, that source speculated.
Mother also said this:
Who could be watching my baby to even snatch her from the park?
If she was in any sort of habit of leaving this child alone in this playground, her statement/intuition could be precisely correct. A predator could have noticed this bad habit of hers, and he was watching and waiting that morning for the split second she brought the child and left it, watching her go out of sight and noting that there were no witnesses around before grabbing.
The possibility of this being
planned due to the mother having creating a pattern of leaving the child unattended in this playground (if she did this) leaves open some other possibilities. It could have been a pair of people who for example planned this online, one of whom snatched the child and passed her over the iron fence in a more or less concealed area of that complex to someone else. These would have been people who knew or scoped the area and who deliberately did not make themselves visible to the cameras at the entrances. This way, the child-snatching individual may not have left the property in the ensuing 24 hours, leaving no trail of this sort pointing toward himself.
Also reported:
They found my baby on an orange float floating down the bayou.
So like, does anyone know how fast these bayous through Houston flow? Not far from the complex, this bayou looks like below image. Supposedly these go slowly?
Since official identification is still apparently taking its time, I'm guessing there is no chance she was placed on the orange float in the bayou alive (it would also seem that a 2 year old would survive 24 hours in that sort of weather, if nothing else had happened). News reports the location found as "downstream" and this looks correct to me from the layout of the waterways.
The float had to have gone out overnight, it's kinda hard for people to miss an orange float with a little body on it during a daytime search in such a place, right?
I guess the police will be able to get a time of death and be able to make a judgment call as to when the float might have been put into the bayou, and that could give them hints as to where it was placed into it. It seems an odd way to ditch a body but there may be reasons.
I hope they get some fingerprints, or maybe DNA if nothing else, off of the inflatable (or the body :/ ). If it's really like this, and the mother and baby were stalked over a period of time, it could be tough to isolate the predator(s).
The news imagery when compared to google satellite images matches the playground being right in the middle of this pedo nest:
