I know I'll probably get "yelled" at but I have read and re-read articles and cannot find where LE said that she was a runaway...they said she could have run away, that they hoped she had just ran away, that they did not know if she ran away or was abducted, that she had not run away before according to her family, that they had no indication she was a runaway or if she had been abducted, that there were no clear signs of foul play, etc...but I cannot find where they said, catagorically, that she had run away. They did indicate that they alerted her father in CA in case she had run away, but all of this is is covering their bases. As early as March 31 they asked for an Amber Alert and were told the case did not qualify. So not sure where they wrote her off as a runaway.
But knowing all we know now, I would not have blamed Kayleah if she HAD tried to run away, JMO...
I know this is all beside the point now, especially as it seems she was probably dead before LE even heard her of her, but just wonder if someone has a link where LE stated catagorically that Kayleah had run away. I have seen it written here so many times that LE had named her a runaway from the start but I have not seen where. In Houston, LE clearly indicated that they were treating the case of Alexandria Lowitzer as a runaway, even when Laura Recovery was there disputing them and took forever to back away from that theory.
