Not long after Katrina Nock’s body was found, Louise Harvey-Webb was found murdered in a very similar fashion but her six-year old son Archie was taken. Did you have any theories about why Katrina’s daughter was left behind but Louise’s son was abducted? How worried were you that Archie would not survive?

Initially I thought that the boy was more appealing to the murderer. Maybe he/she was going to abuse or torture the child. I was worried through the entire story until he was released.

I didn't know what to think about the fact that Mia wasn't taken but Archie was. I was very worried that his body would turn up at some point in this story.

I thought he would turn up dead at some point, but since the point was made about his abduction, I thought that something about it would be important, but I didn't know what.

This really threw me for a loop. Like you, Sharon, I feared for him until his rescue. Again, my mind kept drifting towards this partner theory.

I couldn't figure out why the boy was taken when this first happened. Once I began to suspect there were two killers, it reinforced the idea for me.
