Oreop could have a larger role in it...

Abel is closer to Mabel XVIII than Mabel XVIII is to Lenny. Abel doesn't hate Mabel XVIII, but he doesn't necessarily like her. He might have let his kids stay with her when she was lonely, so Susan and Oreop probably know Mabel XVIII well enough and might try to help her find her kid.
