Thanks, Cheyne. This case is really weird.
I don't know whether to believe LE when they claim there is reason to be gravely concerned about Abigail now (even if she left willingly), or instead to believe the signals that her parents are sending (which indicate, to me, that it's entirely up to Abby whether to return home or not).
Right now, I lean towards trusting the parents' signals. I don't think they're in denial or just being overly optimistic. Seems to me that they know for a fact that Abby's alive and that she doesn't wanna come home, like they have some solid verification that hasn't been released to the public.
At this point, I think that LE just wants to find her safe and bring her home and wash their hands of it (unless they wanna prosecute any adult who may be assisting her as a runaway). Sticking with the "she might be held against her will NOW" story helps keep the public interested/looking.
