if the murderer is the main suspect, and was familiar to the children, maybe he pretended to "rescue" the children from the fire. maybe that is how he got them to comply seemingly willingly. he could have dispatched the children one by one, after "rescuing" them, over time, as those opportunities presented themselves. a meal at Denny's would have been a small price to pay, to keep these kids trusting and compliant.

I was 13 when I got pregnant the first time. Not Muslim, I'm Russian orthodox Christian. My clan is Romani, getting, married or having a baby young is normal. She could be in the community. One strange possibility is her being given to another family within the Muslim community as a breeder. Five months pregnant and she vanished just as she was starting to show. I would look into families un the community who weren't pregnant yet were seen with a baby five months later. Some Muslim people have a second wife. Maybe the first wife couldn't have kids.
