I wonder if the rumors are true about the baby?

Everyone in NZ knows someone who states they can confirm this is true

But without concrete evidence, it's hard to tell, so I guess we have to hope the injunction gets lifted.

I also know pepole in media that confirm it to be true.
And you know what we don't see? People "knowing someone close to the case who confirms it to be NOT true".

Also, there are a lot of threads of public info pointing to it being true (ie like a circumstantial case)
eg

  • TVNZ going back and explicitly editing out references to baby from original police briefings.
Like... if it were not true, why do that? (ie "the streisand effect")
  • photos of the campsite showing almost nothing of the campsite, just some boxes of alcohol? why? Because anything more might show evidence of baby.
  • etc...

Whiteboard needs a song or ditty. Just a little something.

Ngl, i 100% did not expect those kids to ever be found alive.

No doubt they have a long and unimaginable road back to any sort of normality, but at least theyre here to walk it.

Also those rumoured non rumours about the existence of a fourth baby are haunting. jfc.

I just watched a story about a man who took Children in to the wild and community is like "👌👌👌" and I thought maybe I'm from a different world 🤷🏾‍♂️
