Emelie died at age 6, the eldest of three girls. The other two are now 4 and 3. I say that what we see is one of the younger girls in a hand-me-down previously worn by Emelie.

Your comprehensive answer to every Sandy Hook conspiracy theory
Every conspiratorial allegation about the tragic Newtown shootings, answered
By Alex Seitz-Wald
What about Emilie? One of the most common myths circulated on message boards and in YouTube videos is that Emilie Parker is actually alive. The “proof” is a photo purportedly showing her with President Obama when he visited the school after the shooting. Conspiracists know it’s Emilie because she’s wearing the same dress as the one Emilie wore in a family portrait taken before the shooting (an alternative theory is that the girl in the photo with Obama is her “double”). [sic]
Answer: The girl on Obama’s lap is Emilie’s little sister. It’s amazing that we have to say this, but sometimes younger siblings wear clothes passed down to them from older siblings, and sometimes siblings look alike because they are siblings.
So what does that have to do with Emilie? Nothing -- and that strikethrough part is beside the point. Doesn't mean that's the case in this issue. It's amazing that I have to say this but here goes in answer to Alex Seitz-Wald's non-answer:
No, no, no. The girl in the red and black dress standing in front of him -- not the girl on his lap said to be her little sister.
