prepare the traps. Abby tried to look for him, but she did not find him anywhere. She became shock and panic after she found Lily was not in her crib. Joshua
brought Lily and hid her to harass Abby’s nervous breakdown that would make her easier to seem crazy or lost control. She started hysterical crying and when she
