I, too, wonder where the mother was during whatever incident which led to the vanishing of a three-year old little girl with special needs and delayed speech...
3 in the morning, the mother could have very well been sound asleep.

The poor kid. It's not looking good.
It's now claimed that the mother slept soundly all night and was unaware of anything.
And the father now claims he was doing laundry. At 3:00 a.m., in addition to urging his toddler to drink milk and putting her outside, at some distance from the house and not clearly visible from the house, as punishment for refusing to drink said milk.
What needed washing so urgently, and why? This story gets fishier and fishier as time passes. The parents have hired a criminal defense lawyer, who was seen entering their house, the father now sports an ankle-monitor bracelet and has turned in his passport (presumably Indian), and both parents have clammed up and refuse to talk with the police. The FBI inspected the interior of the house.
I predict a big break soon, and not a happy one. Thoughts of Casey Anthony are unavoidable as well - so perhaps the big break may not occur as soon as I would expect - and wish.
In any case, I hope little Sherin is somewhere free of pain and fear...
I don't think anyone, least of all the police, believe the story the father is trying to peddle.
Who in their right mind takes a toddler, brings her on the opposite side of the fence, across an alley to a field that has a train track running through it and leaves her by a tree - at 3 a.m? And then goes back in the house for 15 minutes. When he couldn't find her, he said he returned to the house and did laundry, waiting for her to show up. Five hours later (presumably when mom woke up) the police are called. The whole story is just so incredible and very unbelievable.
You'd think that a little child brought out in the dark and left there would be crying - neighbors didn't hear a thing. Even if people were sleeping, neighborhood dogs would have barked. I doubt the child is alive.
I think the "Didn't drink milk so left by a tree" story is just the prelude to his "dingo stole my baby" defense.
I don't know which is a worse thing to hear. That someone would leave their kid outside in the middle of the night over milk (I don't buy this, btw) or that they'd murder her.
I hate both options.
In Nebraska, you can drop off your kid to safe haven places at any age. In most other states, it's limited to newborn time. I think we need to have it for any age everywhere. Beats having these kids murdered.
In that case it turned out later that a dingo really did steal the baby and the parents were cleared years later.
Actually, that story about the dingo turned out to be true.
Yes, I know. It was simply a reference. Coyotes did not get this toddler.
