Police say Aliayah Lunsford's family reported her missing from her Bendale home just 150 yards from the West Fork River on Saturday morning. Her mother, Lena Lunsford, told WDTV-TV that she went to wake the child at 9:30 a.m., and she was gone.
Lena Lunsford's last contact with her daughter had been about three hours earlier, said State Police Sgt. C.M. Alton. Other siblings were in the home at the time, and authorities said the family is cooperating with investigators.
"She never leaves the house unless an adult is with her," said grandmother Joann Evans. "She wouldn't have come out in the yard, or the road for that matter, without her mother."
Alton said it's too soon to say whether the child wandered off or was taken.
"We've all got our own senses about it, but at this point, it's just like she vanished out of midair," he said.
so the mother saw her at 0630 and she was gone by 0930? and the implication is that someone must have snatched her from home in that time period because the child never goes outside alone? couldn't have traveled 150 yards to river? supposedly no shoes on.
i don't buy it. we don't really know for sure HOW LONG that child was really gone. and the FBI being in early says a lot.
