1) Mom(Rosnah Thomason) and dad(David Davenport) are not really that committed to each other.
2) Mom wants dad to have stronger paternal bonds with the child (Siraj Munir Davenport).
3) Mom hides the child with an aunt or other relative.
4) Mom fakes the disappearance, and hopes dad will be in anguish. She hopes dad realizes that he really does want close ties with the child and hopes Dad comes running home frantic to find the child.
5) Once Dad is home, the child magically appears (Aunt Jane borrowed him for a visit, supposedly unbeknownst to mom) and the family has a wonderful reunion.
6) Next, mom thought that dad would decide that he never wants to “lose” the child again, and the three live happily ever after.

Personally, I think mom has watched too much TV (that plan is so crazy, it just might work!)

Anyone have a better scenario?

From http://www.theherald-nc.com/front/story/8258.html :

(Rodnah) Thomason lives in her Four Oaks home with David Davenport, a zoologist she met while attending school in another state, Johnson said. Davenport was in Vietnam on a work-related assignment earlier this week when he was notified that his son had been reported missing.

Police in Smithfield confirmed on Tuesday that Siraj Davenport is safe and outside the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing his whereabouts; meanwhile, Johnson said she knows that the boy can’t be with his father. She said David Davenport left the United States on Thursday, three days before Siraj disappeared.

He has traveled extensively on five continents in addition to his two-year stay in Laos while conducting research on reptiles and amphibians. Naturally, his love, enthusiasm, and in depth knowledge of animals make Dave an excellent guide and his extensive travel experience make him an ideal trip organizer and leader.

“Davenport and Thomason are not married, authorities said. Although Raji’s last name is Davenport, police said, they are not sure Davenport is the biological father. Davenport has lived off Go Cart Road in Four Oaks for about seven years, neighbors said. Thomason and Raji joined Davenport in Four Oaks in August.”

I think this woman will get charged at the end of the investigation – maybe even if it is … inducing panic.

This story is really weird !

Though it’s not being reported as any sort of abduction. Curiouser and curiouser…

Either that or she had a total break with reality.

“Authorities are also questioning the child’s exact name and who his biological parents are.

“There’s people involved in this – we don’t know, at this particular point, what the relationships are,” Gillikin said. “There is a father somewhere. There is a mother somewhere, and that’ going to be part of the ongoing investigation.”

I’m wondering if mom didn’t cook this up to get her husband to come back from his business trip early??

Well I was right about the mother. Stupid bitch! Does she have any fucking idea the resources she used for her hoax?

I wish we could make her pay for the costs. That would open her eyes to at least the financial aspect of her little hoax. Then I wish we could send her back to Malaysia and let her home country put up with her problems.
