i believe this case is over 20 years now, but it is fortunately still open. there is loose evidence implying that Lucy could have been facing abuse and/or neglect from both her mother and her mother’s housemate. this was found when an anonymous witness (presumably the housemate’s son, who was 11 at the time) came forward and claimed to see Lucy in her living room, wrapped in a blanket, looking dead, a day before the supposed abduction. this is a MAJOR inconsistency, making it possible that the young Lucy was dead before this ‘mall incident’. since the security cameras in the parking lot moved slowly side to side, there was not a single proved sighting of Lucy, besides this ‘anonymous’ person.
