She may have been carrying a purple and pink Bratz purse

Am I the only one here who's suspicion is turning towards the mother?

No you aren't. There's been quite a bit of mud slinging on the facebook group.
I also belong to another site and suspicion has been lurking for at least the past week.
Eyebrows started to rise with all the fundraising.

I saw this video and couldn't help but think the woman sitting beside the mom looks like the sketch.

Also the height of the POI is incorrect! She is not 5'1", she's closer to 5' 8" or 5' 9".
I'll try and find the reference to it.

I don't have my sound on but I think this is the video explaining the height.

First of all Welcome to Scared Monkeys, Victorian!!!!  We are glad to have you here. 

Second, OMG! That woman looks exactly like the person sitting next to the mom.  Do we have a name on her?  I'm going to ask Klaasend to do a screenshot & side-by-side with the sketch.

Klaasend, or any other photo talented monkey:

Can you get a screen shot of the lady on the couch next to the mom in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inoeIcrvqdY about 1:58 in and do a side by side to the composite sketch?  TIA, Lovinlife

Hmmm by the way she was walking with her, it did look like she may have known her.

So is this the woman in the sketch? It sure looks like the same person.  I popped in to find out what is the latest with this case.

I dont know who she is, who is she? If I was to see the sketch and then see her I would think it was the same person.

Thanks Sieko.

Who gave the information so they could do the sketch? Was it a witness? I saw the video, there are 2 people standing there, they don't recall anything?

[Tracygirl]

The nostrils on the nose and the down turned mouth and jaw line, all 3 of these features are prominent on the woman in the pic and the woman in the sketch....

Tori Stafford's mother says media scrutiny wearing her down
WOODSTOCK, Ont. - The brother of Victoria Stafford marked his 11th birthday Friday still wondering about the fate of his eight-year-old sister, who has been missing for more than two weeks.

The children's mother, Tara McDonald, said at a news conference outside her home that her son Daryn received a metal detector as a gift, and he also enjoyed the day off school because it was a PA day.

McDonald also admitted she is growing exasperated by all the media scrutiny over a trust account set up to help her children amid accusations that she is attempting to profit from the abduction of her daughter.

"I'm so tired of all the negativity," she said. "It is wearing me down. A person can have only so much strength, and I've been strong through all of this, but I'm wearing down."

"I don't want that money. I don't need that money. There's people walking around with cans with Victoria's name on it - I haven't set that up."

People have approached the family and offered them money, she added.

"We've said there's been a trust account set up, take it there. We don't want it coming to us," McDonald said.

"I don't care about the donations. I enjoy going to the vigils and all the events that are set up by the community because it keeps me strong, not because I want money out of the deal."

Victoria, known as Tori to family and friends, went missing April 8 after school.

A surveillance video captured the girl walking with a woman with long brown hair and a puffy white coat the day she went missing. Police this week released a composite sketch portraying a woman with long dark hair tightly pulled back in a ponytail who is believed to be the woman in the video.

No one has been able to identify the woman pictured in the sketch, though McDonald has said her ex-husband Rodney Stafford believes it could be one of his former high school classmates.

Another vigil for the missing girl is to be held Saturday afternoon in London, Ont., and her case is to be featured that night on the TV show "America's Most Wanted."

Seems professional to me ..This person dressed like mom and looks like mom..

BUT

It aint mom or her sister. This is a professional abduction.
This woman even has on a jacket that looks like one that mom owns..
Mom is correct they have been watched and targeted. This was a planned event.

I concure Nut.  I went to the link detailing the release of the sketch but the link is broken.  I cannot find details on who gave the info for the sketch.  I am assuming that it was the witnesses at the school who saw Tori and this woman walk by.  What does the Aunt have to say about who this woman reminds her of and who is the woman in the video sitting next to the mom?  Family "friend"?  Relative?  This smells like Lake Erie on a 90 degree day. God keep Tori safe until help can arrive. JMO, Lovinlife

Interesting suggestion Edward, I also found it strange that the woman had a coat exactly like the one mom owned.  I don't understand how all of this happened, why she walked away with this woman.  Did she normally walk home from school by herself? Or did she ride the bus?  Too many questions.  I hope the police have more information and leads than they are releasing.
