Maybe why I can hear you. Maybe they’re on portable and they can’t hear you, but I’ll be there in a minute. I’m not far. And I’ll relay that.

Perfect. Thank you.

Bravo 3, go ahead.

All right, so there’s no portable reception down here. However, the cars do work. So, uh—Comfortable Mason’s vehicle now, she’s got her radio on the lot handler, so she’ll be able to hear us. She has no phone reception, but she does have a photo of the two kids.

The six-year-old is the girl, I believe, and she’s wearing pink. The four-year-old is wearing some blue dinosaur boots. Um, so yeah, I think that’s all we kind of have right now.

And he also told me that Malaya—Malaya called the school at 6:18. He said he didn’t even know the kids were going to be kept home that day, but she called the school at 6:18 and he had that proof on his phone. And I asked him if he gave that to the police.

Okay, so I added that short clip in of Belinda speaking because, in my opinion, the driveway is a very important factor in this case. The dogs searched to the end of the driveway and found a scent of Lily and Jack.

Also, Malaya was on the driveway supposedly making a call at 6:18—maybe using Daniel’s phone. Who knows?

And then also with Janie doing the whole pothole thing—was she smoothing something out? Was she covering a pothole? Who knows?

What do you think?

Also, if Malaya didn’t have service, wouldn’t she have used Daniel’s phone? In my opinion, yes.

In their bedroom this morning. They haven’t been seen since then. I need to, uh, get a good statement and figure stuff out.

Was that you I heard on here that was going to do a search of the residence again?

Yeah, that’s what he was saying. Uh, they were going to do the property and the residence again. 

The details emerging from the case are fragmented, but they’re beginning to sketch out a disturbing timeline. At the center of it are two missing children—Lily, six, and Jack, four—last seen in their bedroom earlier that morning. From there, events spiral into uncertainty, miscommunication, and a series of strange behaviors by the adults involved. While many threads are still unverified, the clues so far suggest the driveway may hold more importance than initially believed.

A key moment lies at 6:18 a.m.—a time mentioned repeatedly. According to Daniel, Malaya called the school at that hour to report that the kids would be staying home. He said he had the proof of the call on his phone, which implies it was either made from his device or logged on it. Yet Malaya reportedly had no reception, a common problem in the area. That alone raises a significant question: if she didn’t have reception on her phone, how did she manage to call the school? If the call was indeed made from Daniel’s phone, it supports the theory that she was physically present with him at that time, potentially using his device in a spot that had signal.

Another element that cannot be dismissed is the confirmed presence of Lily and Jack’s scent at the end of the driveway. The search dogs tracked them up to that point, but no further. This indicates the children made it at least that far, but their trail ends abruptly there. Whether they entered a vehicle or were picked up remains unclear, but the driveway seems to be the boundary of what is currently known.

Malaya’s behavior also adds layers of complexity. She was allegedly on the driveway around the same time the school call was made. If the dogs lost the scent at the end of that driveway, and Malaya was there too, it’s worth considering if the children were placed into a car around that same moment. If so, who was driving? And why would she tell the school they were staying home if the children were going elsewhere?

Then there’s Janie—whose name surfaces in relation to a pothole on the same driveway. She was seen smoothing something out on the ground. On its own, this might seem innocuous. Driveways have potholes. People fix them. But in the context of missing children and a time-sensitive disappearance, that kind of activity becomes suspect. Was she simply repairing something? Or could she have been trying to conceal something—tracks, a dropped item, or something more sinister? Her reasons remain unknown, but the timing casts doubt.

Meanwhile, law enforcement continues to conduct secondary searches of the residence and the property. This suggests either new evidence has come to light or earlier searches were inconclusive. A return to the home often implies that investigators believe something was missed or that someone within the household is not being fully forthcoming.

The radio chatter also hints at poor communication and chaotic organization on the ground. Officers mention that portable radios have no reception in parts of the property, but vehicle radios still work. This communication gap could mean critical moments went undocumented or were delayed in response. Belinda, one of the individuals involved in the relay, mentioned that Mason’s vehicle had working contact with the lot handler, implying that coordination was still possible—but inconsistent.

The overall pattern reveals a murky blend of convenience and inaccessibility. Certain information is readily shared—like the children’s clothing: Lily in pink, Jack in blue dinosaur boots—but the timelines remain fuzzy. Without camera footage, phone data, or third-party witnesses, the narrative depends heavily on who says what—and when. And when people’s statements conflict or don’t make sense in context, suspicion naturally arises.

There’s also a psychological layer to consider. Why would Malaya tell the school the kids were staying home if she didn’t plan to keep them there? If Daniel truly had no idea the kids wouldn’t be attending, that suggests a breakdown in communication—or a cover story. Was the call a way to buy time? Divert attention? Or was it genuinely meant to explain their absence, with no expectation they would later be reported missing?

The potential use of Daniel’s phone also speaks volumes. If Malaya had to rely on his device due to her own lack of reception, then she had access to his belongings—at least temporarily. Did Daniel willingly provide his phone, or was she alone at that time? Did he know she was making the call? If police have that call record, it may help establish who was actually holding the phone at 6:18. Even subtle clues like speech patterns or background noise could be pivotal.

As the search continues, each piece of information adds another layer to a complex puzzle. Investigators must now consider whether the children were taken away willingly, lured, or forcibly removed. The abrupt end of their scent trail hints at vehicular involvement—likely a quick exit. If so, someone had to have coordinated that. Malaya’s presence on the driveway and Janie’s actions point toward possible staging.

But it’s equally important not to draw conclusions too early. Speculation is tempting, but dangerous. Until there’s definitive proof—whether it be phone records, footprints, fibers, or eyewitnesses—much remains theoretical. Still, the circumstantial weight is growing. The driveway, often just a transitional space between home and the world outside, is shaping up to be the crime scene’s nucleus.

It’s also telling that multiple adults involved—Daniel, Malaya, Janie—each seem to have incomplete or contradictory accounts. Whether this is due to confusion, stress, or something more manipulative, it obstructs clarity. Authorities must now dissect every minute of the early morning hours to determine exactly when the children vanished, and who was in control of them at the time.

This case may ultimately hinge not just on where the children were last seen, but how they were last known to exist in the physical world. From the scent trail, to the phone call, to the driveway activity, the evidence continues to circle back to one place—the stretch of pavement leading away from the home. And that might be where the truth, and hopefully the children, are found.
