After an hour or so of catching up, I realized I should have been gathering together a multiquote response-- so, sorry about that! This will seem out of context...
Regarding the mother's morning work routine: Seems to me that at about 6:30 am it's very likely the dogs were let out for their morning "business." It's also a probability that BC got into the shower around that time-- since the master suite is on the other side of the house, the shower would certainly drown out the dog ruckus on the other side of the yard.
Also, in the early morning hours I imagine voices carry quite a distance at that location. The home is surrounded by asphalt, stucco, and concrete-- there's not ANY vegetation that would buffer the echo of a normal conversation.
I don't think Isa was removed after dawn-- much too likely for the child to wake, it's too normal a waking hour on school days. She'd come alert very quickly, as would the rest of the house. However, I think it would be a very lucky thing if she was taken in the light of morning, because the surveillance camera's would be more likely to have caught a clear image of the car involved, if not actual footage of the perp and Isa.
I am adding to the list of communities that may know the Celis household on a personal basis, Sergio's theater group.
So it looks like this:
Little League
St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church
TMC (mother's work place)
Father's workplace
Theater/Opera troupe (Sergio)
I was moved by the parent's statement and plea-- I detected real horror and sadness... but, that said, I wasn't swayed either way regarding their knowledge about what happened. They are both young, attractive, and well spoken people-- I wish I knew how their marriage was, because there's always the possibility of an affair that is being particularly guarded. I hope not, but you never really know... unfortunately.
I pray Isa is with someone who cares about her and is treating her with kindnesses.
I hope her young brothers are getting the emotional support they need from someone who's able to focus beyond the crisis and onto them. I also hope the boys are able to rely on one another for comfort...
