Wasn’t going to get involved in the door/window debate but it’s a quiet day so …. I think it was a sliding patio door, and with younger siblings and no child gate she would know that it had to be closed behind you, would be second nature as an older sibling. Some sliding doors easier than others, can’t comment on this one.
All hypothetical still as we have no idea if she left and was then taken, or was lifted from the apartment. It’s possible we never will and it doesn’t seem that HCW is interested in how she was taken, just that CB killed her. I don’t think I’ve seen any quote from him saying CB took MM from the apartment. He has however said he’s sure CB killed MM, and that they are not looking for anyone else.
Phone ping puts CB in the vicinity, doesn’t need to put him inside the apartment IF MM left to look for her parents. My daughter at that age was headstrong. Though never left alone I can imagine if she found herself in that situation, having been ignored when she cried the previous night she’d take it upon herself to find us. Also not forgetting her dad was described as loud and was talking on the pavement just outside the apartment so she may have decided to go out to him and unwittingly walked right into CBs path so that he didn’t need to break in. We know he’s confident about acting quickly when he sees young children out and about.
All this debate about how he removed her from the apartment is leading nowhere unless we are certain that he did… we know it’s possible in many different ways with all the windows, unlocked doors, etc, but we don’t know if he did, or if HCW thinks so either.
All IMO
