I just watched this video and it really showed me how young the Hellwells are. That explains a lot to me. I feel bad they are going through this now at their age.

IMO, Doc, they're old enough and well educated enough to know better.
What makes me so sad and outraged is that it was
Susan who was the devoted, selfless member of the Mormon Church - certainly
NOT Josh!
It's
Susan who should have all the friends' fierce loyalty and
unlimited support. At this point, Josh should have none!
Apparently Josh's maleness is enough to warrant his worthiness. Is there a better explanation?
And according to one of his ward friend's statements, (paraphrased)
"No matter if Josh had some involvement in Susan's disappearance, he's still really hurting an deserves some help." _ :waitasec: _ How twisted is that?
If I hear one more time that neighbors, etc., are befriending Josh to keep the children accessible to Chuck and Judy Cox, I'll scream. Josh has already refused the Cox grandparents access to the boys - even on the boys' birthdays. Can it get much worse than it already is? Can friends control Josh's selfish behavior 850 miles away?
In the meantime, Josh goes on his merry way with NO ONE putting pressure on him to cooperate with the police. No one is even questioning him because poor, wimpy Joshy-boy doesn't like to talk about Susan.
Maybe if Josh was finally treated like the murdering pariah that he is, he might inadvertently slip with some truth that might allow Susan to be found.
I don't expect that he will ever cooperate or confess to anything. The best we can hope for is an accidental helpful goof-up on his part.
Patting his head and kissing his behind won't accomplish anything for Susan's sake.
imho
