The media usually does stories on high profile victim's lives, but the media hasn't done that for Tammy. I think the crazy lies interfered with that happening because the media had no choice but to focus on the ever changing stories during the time period they would normally be doing research for a victim bio story. As a result, the family's ever changing stories are responsible for public opinion plummeting.
Yes, this. Plus the fact that the various versions of their stories have largely painted TM in a pretty bad light.
The original story made us wonder why she was giving her daughter a driving lesson that late at night, and why, when she was being followed by a road rager, she led him to her home instead of calling 911 from the car while driving to a police station.
When they unveiled the huge revelation that TM had gotten away from the road rager and had made it home safely, but then took her son and his gun and went out hunting for EN, we wondered what on earth would possess her to do that.
By the time they finally admitted that they had known EN all along, and that TM had consoled him and fed him and told him to pull up his pants, we knew there was a lot more to the story and we had to wonder about the true nature of TM's involvement with EN.
When the neighbors told us that EN is known in the neighborhood as a drug dealer, and that he usually hung out at the park and school to sell his wares, we wondered why TM would have been giving her daughter driving lessons that late at night in a location where a known drug dealer is known to hang out.
When it was reported that BM wanted to call 911 but his mother said no she was going out to hunt down EN with or without BM, we really had to wonder about the judgment of this 44-year-old mother of four.
The Meyerses have made TM and themselves look bad. Not the people following this case, not EN, not the police, not anyone else. The Meyers family themselves created this public perception.
Edited to add: If they had grieved quietly and in private, instead of constantly telling lies and changing their stories, they would have had a great deal of sympathy from the public.
