Possible, but if they were that conspicuous and did setup this whole stunt, don't you think that they would have known that they would attract tones of investigators?Kid could have died in an accident (which they weren't there to prevent or oversee even if the kids were sleeping.)
Hence a coverup.
Unless the mother does know something, while the father is honestly clueless.
I rather suspect that neither of her parents had anything to do with her kidnap or death.
