Sorry.
But that's bull crap if you are innocent with a rock solid alibi. Jmo.
The guy was still young but ran as if he had something to hide while having a alibi.
Also. Every child abducted may have family members in the area that was mad at their family.
But cases showed that the disappearing uncle or disappearing previous male live-in was always at most guilty. Jmo
You're entitled to that opinion, of course, but it doesn't make a differing opinion "bull crap."
If I was getting blamed by a family that had some issues like this one apparently had (don't know what the CPS issues were but they're a fact, and who knows what other family dynamics he witnessed), I'd get a lawyer. And IIRC, he's from elsewhere, so it's not like he ran away from his lifelong home.
But if I felt I was getting framed or pointed at by my cousin (who staunchly stands by her man about whom I won't comment further due to TOS and mod's request) and her husband, I'd go back to where I wasn't being targeted. And get a lawyer? You bet. Abducting and/or murdering a child is about the most serious crime I can imagine and I'd protect myself, even and maybe especially if I'm innocent. We don't know their internal family dynamics. It doesn't mean he didn't care about Isabel. What's he supposed to do, wander the streets searching? (That's a rhetorical Q.)
He may or may not be involved. Obviously, I'm not privy to info LE has collected in their investigation.
