"The child is fine. She was in good shape, but she's too young to talk."

On the evening of Thursday, December 12, 1985, shoppers at a K-Mart in Spanaway found a toddler loitering outside the entrance. She'd been spotted playing with two other children outside the store, but as shoppers came and went, the little girl remained outside. The store's assistant manager reported a missing child over the store's intercom, but that did nothing to rouse a parent or guardian.

Because of her difficulties communicating, the little girl was unable to say much about how she'd ended up outside the store, much less where her parents had gone. But when asked what had happened to her mother, the girl could only say that "Mommy was in the trees."
