Use Google maps to find 900 block of Sunningdale.
Then scroll up slightly and you'll see the cross-streets of the culvert: Spring Valley and Bowser. It's just north of there. Very close. Easily walkable by a 3 year old.

Now turn on the Google earth sat view and switch to street view. You can see the tiny culvert.

I have a hard time believing a grown man could fit in there.

So this gets weirder.

I'm REALLY interested in missing persons cases, and this one looks exactly like the cops know she didn't wander off or get abducted.

I will say, in the Indian Culture they can come up with some exceptionally harsh punishments for children. One Indian family I know kept a child from eating for 2 days because he shook a friend's hand, something that was "western culture" and not their culture. Another dad made his 8th grade son sleep in the yard (the weather was acceptable) for failing a test. He "wasn't welcome in the home".

This case just doesn't pass the smell test, IMHO. He did something to her, and is trying to cover it up with this cockamamey story about making her stand in someone else's yard near a tree at 3:30 a.m.
That's a ridiculous generalization. You are basing your knowledge on two families? I don't even believe either of those stories.

That's exactly my thought. Weirder and weirder. If it's true that the culvert had already been looked at by volunteer searchers, she was more than a few feet inside the culvert. So it does seem hard he could have put her in there.

I'm going to be very curious about cause of death. Because it's one thing if she got in the culvert - but what would have killed her in there? It seems she could have just come out the other side.

It’s a culvert after all. She may have drowned. That poor little child.

No, that's Russian - i.e. Putin's - propaganda, not the truth.

In reality, Russia banned adoptions by Americans in response to the Magnitsky Act. Nothing to do with child abuse, and many American families who had already met children they yearned to adopt were stopped just before adoption court when the ban was very suddenly imposed.

Very cruel indeed, since many of those children had special needs and were not ever going to be adopted by Russians but instead left in orphanages and mental institutions of highly varying qualities - some were "showcase" orphanages while more were barely adequate - and some, especially those for said kids with special needs were miserable places where little children were sent to die from neglect.

But at least they were not adopted by those terrible Americans who had spent thousands of dollars and thousands of hours working to bring them to loving homes and forever families. No, they got to stay in Putin's Russia.

Wesley Mathews has just turned himself in - telling a different story to the police and being arrested for "felony injury to a child", with a cool million in bail. I suppose he's not yet charged with murder because the autopsy report has not yet been released. Or perhaps they were deliberately waiting to release it to turn up the heat and make him sweat.

Justice for Sherin...

Police: Father of Sherin Mathews re-arrested after giving conflicting statements | WFAA.com

The end of the video shows the small opening of the culvert. Don't see how big boy could get far into that opening.
