Gone Baby Gone is a crime drama about a kidnapping of a little girl and a private investigator who goes to extraordinary lengths to get her back to her mom amid Boston's criminal elements, which include the police and members of her own family. Tense, gritty, realistic and convoluted story about the price of being a good person in a very corrupt world.
Detective Remy Bressant: If you see me comin' you better run cause I'm gonna lay you the fuck down.

Answer: A real life problem with abducted children, especially those abducted at such a young age, is that after a short period of time they begin to grow and look drastically different than when they were abducted. Amanda could have been home schooled for some time and passed off as the adopted child of her abductors to the general public after a relatively short amount of time. Unfortunately, the average person would likely not even recognize Amanda if they saw her out in public.
