"Uniformed officers closed off the road, the Route de la Combe d’Ire, and forensic technicians gathered shell casings and marked where they fell and photographed the blood and studied Saad’s BMW without disturbing any of the bodies. They did this with such delicacy that they did not notice for almost eight hours that Saad’s younger daughter, 4-year-old Zeena, was alive and physically unharmed, hiding beneath the folds of her dead mother’s skirt." I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.

When I was around 6 years old, I was playing hide and seek with my sister. I fell asleep underneath a folded-up roll-away bed in a spare bedroom of our small house (~1000 sqft). When my sister and my parents couldn't find me, they feared the worst and called the police who came and searched the house and couldn't find me. I woke up, walked out into the living room and everyone stared at me in disbelief. All that to say that I can very easily see a small child hiding under a skirt remaining unnoticed for several hours. How the child stayed quiet for that long would be surprising to me, but stranger things have happened.

  The fear in that child any time someone spoke or moved near her... unimaginable.

  My fiancée's son was about 6-7 years old at the time, he was playing hide and seek with some children at his grandmother's church and he hid in a small book case. When the other kids couldn't find him, he didn't come out. His grandmother and the other adults looked for him and he didn't come out. They searched the interior of the church and he didn't come out. They searched the grounds of the church and he didn't come out. They called the police and while the police were searching the church again, he came out. They had checked the book case on numerous occasions but he was in a compartment in the bottom of the book case and they had only checked the top. He wasn't allowed to play hide and seek at the church after that.

The investigators took a lot of similar criticism at the time. Some psychiatrist said that the little girl was completely shocked and in a "coma like" state, so she didn't move or make any sound at all. They quickly checked that everybody was dead from outside of the car but didn't see the girl which apparently was hidden under the bodies of her mother and grandmother. So they closed of the crime scene and started to comb everything outside the car. Only when they actually opened the car door did they find the little girl. It was said that she didn't even react when they took her.
