Also what parent would even think about "marketing ploys" when their baby had just disappeared?

Imagine your child had been kidnapped and you didn't physically search yourself, imagine refusing to answer police questions (yes some may be uncomfortable, BUT...parents/family are always first suspects because...statistics) surely you would help any way you could and would want your name cleared.... Imagine your friends kid had gone missing and you refused to do a reconstruction to help police get a better view of the situation. Imagine your child had gone missing and from the start you mislead police by stating the doors were locked and they must have came in through the window, but then its proven you cannot get in via the window without damage, so your own story then changes to 'we left the door open'. Imagine your child has just gone missing and you are planning parties for the year anniversary instead of hoping she would be found any minute. Imagine rubbishing all 'sightings' and complaining that the police were driving too fast to check one out..Infact, I fall at the first hurdle, as I cannot even begin to imagine going on holiday with the kids, dumping them in the creche from morning til night, then leaving them ALONE in a room in a strange place just so I could go out with friends
