Cops Won’t Say What Was Inside This Girl’s Backpack — and That’s the Problem (3 of 3)

Whispers spread. Was she bait? A messenger? A pawn in something far larger? Why place her in plain daylight, where everyone could see—unless that was the point?

Hayes, a man not easily shaken, admitted privately that what he saw in that bag “wasn’t a child’s things.” That’s all he would say. And the silence that followed only deepened suspicion.

Whatever the truth, the image lingers: a little girl, standing perfectly still in the bright sun, then vanishing into the crowd.
