Grandma and Misty go to Heather Collins home everyday for grandma to watch Heather's 4 kids (Elizabeth is one of Heather's kids) and Lyric while Misty is at work. Once Misty is off work-Lyric and Grandma head back to Grandma's house. Dan lives separately from Misty and Lyric.
I don't agree that Misty and Dan know nothing. I am not saying that they killed, harmed or sold the girls (as I can see no reason for them to do so at this point) but they know something that could help LE. Innocent parents don't "lawyer up", quit talking to LE and the media. Their criminal records are a fact that Misty and Dan need to own. If they are truly innocent they should be talking to LE and helping in any way possible to get their daughter home.
ETA: The cops are not saying that they suspect Dan. Dan himself and others have been quoted as saying Dan "feels like a suspect".
I don't know much about this case, so bear with me.
If mom and dad are druggies, they could have been in contact with some nasty people. Someone they know nothing about other than drug connections. Wouldn't be the first time some 'friend' abducted someone's kids. However, given that she was in prison and Lyric was living with grandma (was she having much contact with dad?), dirtbag types may not have been around. Dunno on that.
Doesn't it sound like this couple has been cooperative with police, including taking polygraphs? If that's so, and the cops are focusing on Dan, and if Dan is innocent (IF), he needs a lawyer. That might not seem right but if he thinks they're getting ready railroad him, he's in trouble and being cooperative won't help him. Innocent people DO get arrested and convicted. Just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who is innocent and being zeroed in on as their child's killer. Cops don't have to say he's a suspect. It's what goes on in the interrogations that matters.
