I've been busy reading this thread to catch up and a couple of things stick out to me, maybe some of you can help clarify:
I keep reading this statement on articles on this thread:
"The girls relatives reported that she was last seen in the north parking lot of Mitchell Elementary School around 8 a.m."
Who are the relatives? At the beginning of this case, the step-father dropped her off at the school. When did the relatives come into play?
Another question: Isn't it a bit chilly to be wearing shorts at this time of year in that part of the country?
I'll go back to reading. Thanks in advance.
