The autopsy will reveal a great deal. I am predicting head trauma and a broken neck. Sorry to say that. Feeling sick, just sick.

she didnt crawl there.

Would have been shorter if she had wandered along the railroad tracks? Seems pretty direct route...

Here's a link to an as the crow flies map.

I google "drove" and it looks like there is a small culvert on the opposite corner too. Near the train bungalow...you can "drive" the driveway by the apartments

Good thinking. However, in this case, it appears they searched near the culvert due to information they collected. I’m betting they will determine his car was stopped there. More to be revealed in the coming days.

I'm just grasping and praying that they did not kill her.

What would be the distance from home > culvert > the area where the bag was found > back home? Maybe different items were dumped in different locations nearby which added up to roughly an hour away from home in the vehicle.

roughly 2 miles

Yeah, I had to steel myself for what I might find. But I wanted her found. Even if deceased, time is if the essence in figuring out what happened. (Didn't plan on going any closer if I did see something that might be her, but rather would've called LE to investigate.)

Thank you for stepping up and taking action, PIM. You tried..

How can they not have ID of who it is but have already notified the parents?

This is heartbreaking. I'm in tears. Bless her little hart.

In past cases I've watched, it is common for LE to let family know before a press conference. Something along the line of "We have found a child, we do not know if it your child. We may need you to come to the coroner's office to help us ID if it is your child or not."

If she was found with any kind of wrapping it will be really hard to explain she walked there on her own,

 

[Gigglingtoes]

Guys what happened??? Poor precious angel..

 

[margarita25]

Gosh, and people have been driving by there every day I would think, they must be can't think of the word.

That baby didn't walk anywhere, and she certainly didn't put herself in a culvert! :tantrum:

I figured from the start that something like this would be the outcome, but I can’t stop crying. I may be overly emotional because of my kids and lack of sleep... Ya’ know what? My youngest will be 3 on Wednesday, he woke up at 4am today and also woke up our 5 year old. I got up with them and hoped I could get them back to sleep, she did, he didn’t. I didn’t get upset, I just hung out with him until someone else who could help was awake and then I stepped away. After more than 18 years of being a parent and even dealing with teenagers, 2 kids nursing at the same time and feeling like I never ever slept, I can’t fathom being so angry at a child that I could ever hurt one of them. We are their protectors and guardians and for her to have come from where she did into a family where this (even before we know COD) became her fate is unimaginable.

Someone said on the 'Finding Sherin FB' page it was a very small, round culvert. Apparently, neighbors walking their dogs this morning discovered the body and called police. There were high winds and heavy rains in the area last night.

In the PC, he said a culvert and referenced Bowser Rd.

Exactly. A hidey hole.

 

[margarita25]

I see/hear this in so many pressers, it is so upsetting!
If they're going to whoop it up, at least make sure the mic is off.

Seems to happen every time...

From the bushes of India to a culvert in Texas...

This case (today especially) has been like another slap in the face reminder for me that unconditional love, being comforted, knowing you are wanted and FEELING SAFE, are not things provided to everyone. I've not lived a day of my life not feeling ALL of those things. I cannot imagine an existence of possibly never having felt any of those things.
