It says the family wants to know why no amber alert. One criteria for an amber alert is a suspect and or a tag/license plate. They have neither so that’s why one wasn’t issued. Just an fyi in case others are wondering too

She is an adult and not eligible for an Amber Alert. Her family is wondering why an Ashanti alert, which is for adults, was not issued.

All those alerts require the person to be in a car. Amber, Ashanti and Silver

I’m not saying that is a good idea I’m just explaining.

MPD frequently issues Silver Alerts with no mention of a car.

They don’t. MSP issues amber alerts and silver alerts. It’s a statewide program, not county/city.

Unrelated a neighbor with ring camera saw a woman running through her backyard after midnight. Barefoot. Frantic. But we are in Fauquier County. But you never know. It is why it is important to report.

I wonder if any cars prior to this incident (even a few minutes before) noticed anything (also seeing a child, "broken down" car on the shoulder) .

Motorists' dashboard cams pickup something on the peripheral edge that a driver may not notice (bc they're focused on the road and driving), but enough of a tip to rule out something?

The report I read is that the lady left work and picked up food. Curious if they can check security cameras to verify the timeline and also to see if there are anything dubious (people, fellow customers, other motorists, car following her).

Then where is the body genius? Obviously someone took her.

There are traffic cams in the area. Someone on websleuths posted a link to the video.

You can see her get out of the car and go around to the drivers side. Some people on websleuths say they can see multiple people in the video but I only see her. It does appear she does walk off away from her car.

Are we sure that is actually her car? If it really is, she would not have been anywhere near a child that she saw on the side of the road…she would have had to walk back up the interstate.

Also, I was picturing this as some isolated road…but it was a busy interstate with a ton of people driving by?

it really makes no sense that a bad person would use a child to trap a random female passerbye. The odds are overwhelming that a man or even an police officer would have been the one to stop help the kid. What would the bad person do then? Ah, "nothing going on here officer. Just lost my toddler in the woods adjacent to a freeway"

I've read elsewhere that maybe she just unfortunately stumbled upon a trafficked child or some other criminal activity and thus had to be "removed" because she was a witness.


This is such a freaky case.

The one thing that is weird in that video is how much traffic there was. If you were going to snatch somebody, would you be doing it with that many other vehicles right there? As I was reading this I would have thought the road was fairly empty.

People often don’t see things in plain sight. Look at the gorilla study. When you’re not expecting something, you don’t see it. Works for a child on the freeway and an abduction in a busy place. Think of many celebrities have come out to say they were groped and harassed in public.

Agree. Did anyone else cal 911 about a child. With that much traffic I can’t imagine that only one person saw and called about a child on the side of the road.

I’ve stopped to help people by the side of the road before. Sadly, I’ll have to stop this practice immediately. Ick, ick, ick.

She goes around to the drivers side? I didn't watch the video.

Why do we think she wasn't hit by a car? Maybe the person who hit her, took her to hide the evidence.

The luring theory just seems so far fetched. Human traffickers target specific types of people, they don't set traps for random men and women on the highway without knowing what type of person will stop.

yes. The odds were strong that the first car to stop in the dark would be a highway officer and not some random pretty woman.
Also, 99% of people would just call and not stop (which would trigger an officer to be sent to the scene).

The "lure theory" makes no sense. She stumbled upon something bad.

The biggest risk is that you would get hit by a car, not that you would get kidnapped.

Doesn't the video show police showing up w/in 3 mins of the car on the video stopping on the side of the road. Assuming that car is hers (hasn't even verified yet AFAIK) it seems insane that someone could vanish in 3 mins .
