I am damned near convinced Cash is dead when he is lifted from the cradle.

His legs and neck are stiff. He could be wide awake, but if he was it is likely he would look around, and move his legs for balance. If detectives can determine he was dead at that time , it is 100 percent certainty kidnapping was staged and the boy was killed in that house. Anyone who has kids can confirm what I am saying, a sleeping kid picked up from the bed will hang limp for at least a few seconds, and slowly awaken and look around to see who picked him up and where he is going..
