LM:She is. She’s only six, but she takes ballet. She runs outside, she rides her bike. She’s always moving. She knows how to swim. I know she can survive this.
EL:We believe it, too. And everyone who has gathered here from as far off as Michigan believes it. That’s why they’re here. We heard at first that concerned citizens weren’t happy with the search effort. Do you believe that’s changed with all the attention Arden’s case has gotten?
LM:Yes. People keep coming, keep finding new ways to help. It’s given us all more hope. I’m so grateful.
EL:Is there anything else you’d like our viewers to know about your daughter?
LM:I just want her back. I want to go back in time to a few nights ago and wake up sooner—
EL:Hold on, just a moment—Yes? What? Please repeat?
LM:I want—
EL:No, sorry. Not you. Hold on. Say once more? Oh my God.
LM:What is it? What happened?
EL:Please pardon the interruption, but we’re reporting here live with the news that someone believes they’ve located Arden Maynor.
LM:What?
EL:Ms. Maynor, they think they’ve found your daughter.
