Police coming around to what Hebs has been saying all along,

Detectives always work from hypotheses, and for a while Humm’s was that Elsa’s mum didn’t want to be found. The evidence just pointed that way. Elsa and the other babies were left swaddled in public places, which seemed to indicate that whoever abandoned the children cared about them. The fact that they were found near to each other suggested she lived locally.
But this theory changed earlier this year. In January, Crimestoppers offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to the identification of the babies’ parents. Police also appealed for help from doctors and pharmacists who may have seen the pregnant mother. Crimestoppers got nothing. The police received only four calls.
‘Instead of having a leading hypothesis that mum will not come forward,’ he told his officers in a briefing afterwards, ‘my hypothesis now is that mum,’ he always calls her mum, ’cannot come forward.’ It is possible that she is being held captive in the area.
