Last year in NC a 6 year old was taken by a stranger from her front yard (she was found alive, Sex Offender charged with rape): http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...r-kidnapping-rape-of-6yo-girl-Wilmington-2016

Most non-family abductions I can think of they find the child quickly because there is suspicion or some connection-- the person was seen snooping around or knows the family and acted strange around the child or someone saw the child getting abducted, etc. But there are also cases like Diana Alvares where it is clear a non-family member took the child and the child has not been found

Diana's thread: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...ana-Alvares-9-Fort-Myers-29-May-2016-4/page42

I think the cases where family members harm their children just stick in our memories more (and perhaps theya re mores common? IDK the stats). For sure, the occupants of the home are always the first suspects and my heart drops whenever I read "live-in boyfriend". It seems sadly predictable. I hope against hope that little Mariah is found safe and unharmed.

Thank you. You've been busy!!

Hunter said Mariah normally wears orthopedic braces on both feet and when she is without them she doesn’t walk straight.

My cousin's daughter had the same problem - she wore "soft" braces -- kind of like a regular muscle-ache wrap, but less flexible. Her feet turned in badly -- pigeon-toed, but it also involved her lower legs -- anyway, after wearing the brace for about 9 mos, she was fine, and still is as a grown woman today.

68 miles from me as well.

I'm about 140 miles from Jacksonville -- large Marine Corps base there.

I'll delete it. It certainly isn't mainstream news but was thinking small scale I guess. No problem, TY

I am very confused. Just saw an administrator posted the video.

Some were asking about other children in home. From this news link:

The girl’s two older brothers made it to school safely.

I never saw a diagnosis or anything but the photos from right after Mariah’s birth show a minister who had come to the hospital to pray for her and mom calling her “my miracle baby” I got the impression that whatever her condition was that it was found during prenatal care or immediately at birth. My sister had a turned foot that required casting for several months and they didn’t conclusively know about it until she was starting to walk.

Here is some interesting posts about the BF on the Help Find Mariah FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HelpFindMariahWoods/?fref=nf

I don't like that she went to bed wearing only panties, especially in late November.

My brother wears only a Pull-Up and a shirt to bed.
Even when the weather is cold.

 

[magnoliamcgovern]

They found her pajamas next to her bed this morning she had taken them off.

Just my experience and because I can’t stand to think of the alternatives, the youngest of my 5 kids actively hates wearing clothing. He’ll keep his clothes on when we are out but strips as soon as we get home. We’re in Virginia and while our house is toasty warm, I’ve been trying to get him to wear pajamas to no avail, the kid can get out of anything and does so within a matter of minutes.

I’m still desperately hoping they find this sweet baby soon and safe.
MOO

My brother is the same way!
As soon as he gets in the house from wherever, everything but his underwear comes off! Even in the winter!

Quick thinking of NC sleuths who may be close enough by... Maybe Grouchymom. Grouchymom, are you here with us? :wave:

Unfortunately ole Grouchy is here the Amber Alert went of on my phone early this morning.

 

[ilovepierre]

I have not been on WS forever and I've certainly not followed as many cases as some of you. I can remember only one case where a child was taken in the night from her bed that truly was a stranger abduction and she was released in the same area the following day. All of the others have either no resolution or a very familiar resolution.

Keenan Hiebert (sp?) was another one.
He was abducted from his house and after his parents pleaded for his return, the abductor returned him.

 

[Doghairrules]

I’m wondering if Mariah maybe went outside instead of back to bed when she got up at midnight? Doesn’t sound like bf actually put her back to bed.

Not sure if that’s better or worse than someone doing something awful to this precious one.

 

[Doghairrules]

Also I’m 2.5 hours away and haven’t gotten an alert on my phone. I have gotten them from further away before.

We do have hwy signs here in durham though.

 

[jellybean96]

We cannot sleuth anyone at this point. LE has not named the boyfriend a POI.
