The news bulletin came over MSNBC as I was typing that post...that was the information given at the time. They didn't give more detail about the how until after 9.

The newswire is giving the time of her abduction as around 9:40pm.. Not unreasonably late for a city kid to be playing outside with her friends in the summertime, IMHO. Especially one with this level of independance and initiative.
If there was an adult present, I would agree with you. The adult factor was the premise of my original question. As smart as this kid was, she's still only 7.

On mirror: "You are looking at the person responsible for your safety."
I certainly wouldn't apply that to a 7-year old.
