Aliayah Lunsford's mother and 9-year-old sister told police they saw the girl around 6 a.m. Saturday in a bedroom in their home in Weston, West Virginia, located between Charleston and Morgantown. The mother said she returned about three hours later to see the girl -- who had been sick the night before -- and take her temperature, but Aliayah wasn't there, Lewis County Sheriff's Lt. David Parks said Monday.
Did the 9 year old sister actually see Aliayah when she left that bedroom and went to her mother's room at 6 am, or did she she a lump under the covers that her mother said (or she assumed) was Aliayah?
Mother is 8 months pregnant with twins, so I would assume her mobility is limited to some extent. The neighbor has stated he didn't see any activity around the house that morning, so if the mother (or stepfather) dumped Aliayah's body, it would've had to have been before 6 am when stepdad was picked-up for work.
Aliayah was brought home at 9 pm the evening before she went missing because she had "soiled" herself. My guess is that Aliayah was killed sometime that night/early morning and removed from the house at that point.
