14. What I'm suggesting...

...is that the woman was, for whatever reason, dedicated to an international cause. She was likely a passionate, brainwashed warrior who selected and then groomed an American suitor to carry out some holy war in the name of ISIS or whomever.

Why do spies spy? Why do international political warriors embed themselves within the fabric of America, creating the illusion of the happy family unit, only to be summoned for their one and only purpose;... to strike against the 'infidels.' It's always about gawd and/or the motherland (The Cold War)... or 72 virgins...

What I'm saying is that she came to America for one purpose... and having a baby may or may not have been part of her 'American dream' cover. Regardless, the child was not her first priority. It never was.

I don't "know" anything more than you. I'm just speculating, based on the information available and my own understanding of how the world works.

You never really know who your neighbors are.
