One annoying plot hole.

That's interesting.
But the problem there is there isn't enough food/water brought to them to sustain many people. If we follow the folklore, in many tales time stands still. I don't think they'd need to eat or drink. -

ForTheNonce:
But the folklore also says they DO eat and drink. People are warned not to eat the food in the faerie land, or whatever. And Daniel's stomach had bones and whatnot in it. Time may stand still, but also Daniel's clothes were ratty, dirty, and worn down. The point is, we don't know what is going on over there. Is time really stopped continuously? Does it slow down or speed up occasionally? If the prisoners don't
need
to eat, does that necessarily mean they
can't
eat? Or are there times they
must
eat?
I'm just saying, if we know they were eating animals because of the bones and stuff, and Jamie was leaving stray dogs and cats, and the fetus was there one minute and gone the next, and this thing is both alien and probably evil, is it a stretch to think they ate the fetus? -

Time clearly does not stand still. If it did we wouldn't be able to hear their screams when the troll approaches.
And where do you get these claims of folklore implying frozen time?
I don't think they'd need to eat or drink.
The movie itself proves you wrong. When Daniel came back it was explained to us that he had animal bones in his stomach. Meaning he had been fed whole animals while a captive of the troll.

The next day no one mentions the fetus. The cop would have been VERY much inclined to think that fetus was his kid, particularly when any medical examination would peg how old it was.
Yes, because Trish is the only 3rd term pregnancy in the entirety of the LA area
Why would he think the fetus is his? What exactly would lead him to that conclusion? Even if it were found, which there's nothing suggesting it was.
Instead, as was mentioned, you'd be looking at a definite murder investigation (for the fetus and possibly the mother).
You can't murder a fetus. It's only murder if the child takes a breath outside of the mother, and there's no evidence of that. It seemed pretty dead already when Calli saw it. And as far as anyone can prove, Trish is just a missing person. There's no signs of foul play.
Now, here's the thing that is really disturbing. The fetus is left as a trade. Callie is taken. The Troll knows the fetus is dead at this point, so why not take it back? For what reason?
It most likely did take it back. Why would it leave it there?
For the same reason the Troll took the dogs and cats left by Jamie Lambert.
To feed to the people trapped in the Underneath.
Most likely yes. Hence why Daniel had animal bones in his stomach. Now they're all going to have fetus bones in their stomach.

Nope. That is clearly not the case. What we were seeing at the end was the cop imagining a scenario where that happened. But that is NOT what happens in the movie.

She wasn't there to collect the trade(since it took her) so the troll took it back. It was pointing out the folly in trying to make a deal with a troll.
