I have been keeping up with this case, here and a few other places. Only conclusion I can come to is that this baby wandered off & is lost. Not taken, nothing criminal, just lost. The search was overwhelmed from the beginning, which cost them scent and tracking that might have located him. It's unfortunate. Everything else surrounding this case is coincidence. Odd, but small town, disorganized, poorly communicated coincidence. The family & friend may not be expert public speakers, however they are also in horrible circumstances. I imagine they are clinging to the hope that their baby was abducted by someone who just wanted a baby to love, because that is the only theory that provides them with any hope of having their baby back again. This is the only conclusion I can come to, after reviewing the actual evidence of this story. I hope they are given some closure soon, so they can begin to heal and move on. At the end of the day this is just an incredibly sad situation.
