After they had finished their separate interviews, the team gathered in the Richmond's kitchen, the room farthest from the stairs. Amy had suggested that Anthony's and Carrie go upstairs to check on their son, which they were now doing. The local police officers had returned to canvassing the neighborhood for signs of Mallory. This left the BAU free to share their newly gained information with each other.
"Alright, what do we have so far?" Hotch asked, opening the discussion on the case.
"So far the police have sent out the Amber Alert and canvased for signs of the girl," Morgan started, informing the team of the locals efforts thus far.
"But that's about all they have done," Rossi continued. "They haven't interviewed the family or attempted to talk to neighbors to see if anyone saw anything. They don't have a clue as to what they are doing"
"They are used to a pretty low crime rate around here. They haven't have a crime of this magnitude in over 8 years. " Reid began to spout facts of the crime rate in Jamestown. "Statistically the most common crime is shop lifting, which is rare itself, occurring…." Spencer trailed of as the team stared at him.
"Meaning," Amy said, "that they were not prepared to deal with this case. Which would be why they called us in."
"But you have to admit they haven't done much towards finding her," JJ commented.
"I'm not saying they have. I'm saying that there is nothing we can do about that and we are here now to fill in the gaps. There is no use in pointing fingers at who hasn't done what."
"She's right," Hotch said. "So lets get back to reviewing what we have." Amy was shocked. This was the first time her brother had acknowledged her presence in a positive light. She had a feeling something was going on with him, but this was neither the time nor the place to get into it.
"Anthony Richmond wasn't home at the time Mallory was taken." Emily began going over what her and Hotch had learned form the parents. "He leaves at 5:30 for work and comes home at 2:30. Carrie goes into work later so that when the kids are home, there is always a parent at home as well."
"Will goes to high school, his bus picks him up at around 6:30." Hotch added. "Carrie gets ready for work inside, while Mallory plays outside with her brother. After Will is picked up, Mallory head inside to get ready for her bus. Mallory never came back inside this morning."
Amy looked to Reid before beginning, "This morning, Will wasn't paying attention to Mallory. A girl from school had come up to talk to him. He left with out noticing whether his sister had made it inside or not."
"Mallory's mother didn't notice she was missing until somewhere between 7:00 and 7:30." JJ said. "From the time she stepped outside with her brother at 6:15 that leave roughly and hour for her to have gone missing."
"We need to interview the neighbors to see if they saw anything," Rossi suggested.
"I agree." Hotch said. "Rossi, Morgan, Prentiss and Reid can stay behind and go door to door. Amy, JJ and I will head back to the precinct to set up."
