The sheriff at the time of the incident had concluded that the father had taken the child to California while the mother, who had priors including solicitation, never made any follow up complaints so it was just swept under the rug as the young girl was better off with her dad. At least that's what the county police or whatever said.
At the same time they were there to look into that story, Cohle questioned the new sheriff about a girl who had been chased through the woods recently but again it was never followed through with. The reason this time was because the girl said she was chased by a spaghetti monster and gave the sketch artist the description in the sketch.
On another note, the sheriff at the time of these incidents was named Childress. The prisoner who committed suicide in his jail cell happened to be escorted to the phone shortly beforehand by guards named Maloney and Childress.
So theories are the man who mowed the school lawn, who works for Light the Way ran by Reverend Tuttle, was the Spaghetti Monster who chased the girl. And that possibly the police force was involved, especially if the sheriff and guard end up being the same person or related.
