Please don't laugh. Sometimes crazy things happen. Here's a look at the angle that Eliz is, for whatever crazy reasons, telling the truth: She was at a park with Gabriel, crying, and a couple came up to her to ask what's wrong.
Playing profiler (badly). What do we know?
they were a couple and I, um I know how much people who don't have their own children just want a baby and they can't have their own babies
- they don't have children
- they had been wanting a baby. Friends, family, co-workers know this.
- they can't have babies. Friends, family, co-workers know this.
- they don't have their *own* children. Are they foster parents? Taking care of a relative's or friend's child or children? Do they work with children? Do they volunteer in a children's program?
Why was the couple at the park?
- jogging, going for a walk, walking their dog. They live nearby.
- looking at the pavilions to rent (if Raymond Russell park. May not be that park.) They don't necessarily live nearby, but they don't live very far away.
What would they have been interested in renting a pavilion for?
- social event, family reunion, wedding (theirs, a friend's, a relative's. either or both could be wedding party principals or members), organization picnic
What other parks are near the hotel?
What are their finances?
Just about any financial status would jog, walk, walk a dog in a park. The more money they have, the less likely they'd be to rent a pavilion, unless perhaps for a company business. Maybe one they own. Small business.
They're going to change Gabriel's appearance, and/or keep him secluded until he's old enough that his facial features change. What kind of people can do this?
- Female stays home, doesn't work, or has just quit her job. Can't have a babysitter or they'll call LE.
- Few or no friends or family in the area. Loners with family out of state.
- Quiet couple, but outgoing enough to walk up to a stranger who's crying and offer help
- Desperate enough for a baby that they are willing to go the illegal route.
- They've been wanting a baby but had not yet adopted. Couldn't adopt? They were waiting to get married?
FWIW. Feel free to copy, change, add, subtract. Just thinking out loud. Trying to get the old brain going and spur some tips for LE. Maybe somebody else will think of something. LE stated tips are critical now.
(Thank you so much for the search tips. Good ones!)
