Anons, this is a strange story. Why did the parents leave Colorado to try and cross into Mexico and leave a five year old child behind…?

A Colorado couple who disappeared last week with a 2-year-old — while leaving a 5-year-old daughter behind — was located Friday in California, where they were trying to cross the border into Mexico, the Denver Post reported.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Liu Nei Li, 40; Zaiqiao Feng, 48; and 2-year-old Anny Li of Thornton had not been seen since Monday. Family members found the older child at about 9:30 p.m. Monday, warndering alone in the front yard of the family’s home.

The girl, who was home alone by herself for most of Monday, told family members that her parents said they had to go to the grocery store and left without her. She’s now in the care of relatives.

Thornton police said the parents were being held in San Diego pending extradition to Colorado on child abuse and drug charges. The toddler with them is safe and in protective custody, police said.

After discovering the pair missing, authorities executed a search warrant of the residence and on Wednesday, found an “illegal marijuana grow” inside their home. Neighbors said law enforcement officials were seen carrying out numerous plants.

According to neighbors, the family left “in a hurry” and threw a duffel bag into their vehicle, leaving the 5-year-old behind.

“We were just lucky a relative lived in the area and saw the girl in the yard and took her in to safety. If she would have remained in the home overnight or for days without anyone finding her – it’s concerning,” Thornton Police Department Officer Matt Barnes said.

Just listening to Rush and he mentioned that ABC News had been publicly rebuked by the DIA. Here’s the sauce from the Washington Examiner:

WHAT, WHEN DID DOD KNOW?: The National Center for Medical Intelligence issued a rare public denial of a report by ABC News, which alleged that “concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report” by the NCMI, which is part of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," according to an unnamed source who told ABC the reports were then “briefed multiple times,” to the DIA, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, and the White House.

‘NO SUCH PRODUCT' EXISTS: The ABC News report, which alleged that 2019 intelligence depicted an “American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home,” sent Pentagon officials scrambling to find the report in question.

“NCMI and the Defense Intelligence Agency spent considerable time over the last 24 hours examining every possible product that could have been identified as related to this topic and have found no such product,” said a defense official last night.

That, in turn, prompted Col. R. Shane Day, a medical doctor and director of the DIA’s National Center for Medical Intelligence, to issue a rare public statement.

"As a matter of practice, the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters,” Day said. “However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists."

ESPER WOULD HAVE KNOWN: Defense Secretary Mark Esper was questioned about the purported November intelligence assessment by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on last Sunday’s episode of This Week.

“Did the Pentagon receive an intelligence assessment on COVID in China last November from the National Center for Medical Intelligence of DIA?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“Oh, I can't recall, George,” said Esper, who didn’t seem to know what Stephanopoulos was referring to. “But,” he said, “we have many people who watch this closely.”

“This assessment was done in November, and it was briefed to the NSC in early December to assess the impact on military readiness, which, of course, would make it important to you, and the possible spread in the United States,” pressed Stephanopoulos. “So, you would have known if there was briefed to the National Security Council in December, wouldn't you?”

“Yes,” Esper agreed, adding, “I'm not aware of that.”
