There were many of those comments and they all seemed to have been deleted. Just a gut feeling something may break soon, there is too much talk about how MP really was, coming out each day. 
But all rumor and hearsay so cannot post, but hopefully LE is taking notes.

I'm more and more surprised by Matt. I have been giving him way too much credit (and what little he has gotten from me has been sparse). These new revelations, the letters, are seriously dumb at this point. But I can see he never dreamed she may really have some proof to back up her fears. I think he is REALLY starting to panic. As well he should. He did not think things through. MY Opinion, of course.
My heart just breaks for these children and Gail's family. I hope she is found soon.

Could be right. Maybe Gale typed all his papers for him. IDK.???

However, I personally assume that Gail called Diane both at 6:30 AM before she left the lake house AND at approx 12:15 when she got back to TN.

Perhaps IF there is contact with the family it can be sorted out and the Timeline then brought up to par with the actual events and times of cell phone calls. I think it would be important to know IF she spoke again a 2nd time to her sister that day before she disappeared.

Channel 3 has updated the video since I posted with the link. You need to go to the videos below the main one. The one on the right running 2:35 with the poster of GP saying "missing" is the one with the letter.

It's to the point, imo, none of this is making sense. I know we don't have all the clues available to LE, but why in the world would she pack up and leave AL after making plans with Arlene the next day and then not ever call her again?
I keep thinking of the sister mentioning they are finding things out about both Gail and Matt that they didn't know. (paraphrasing)

One way to get the word out across the state and surrounding states to be on the lookout for Gail's vehicle is to hit the truck stops and pass out flyers to all the truck drivers. Sometimes they can be your best eyes and ears.

Just catching up after half a day away.
The letter from Matt about the DVR is really whack! I'm sort of shocked by that, actually!
It's interesting that this letter appeared just as the Hamilton County detectives were going to AL for a search of the house and the lake, as well as an air search with helicopters. That's amazing!
I wonder if he sent the PI down there to search the house before the cops got there?
The drinking on Matt's part is all speculation and rumor so far, and hasn't been reported by police or an anyone in the media.
The time zone thing:
Tennessee and New York are BOTH on EST. So there is no time difference in the calls between Gail and her sister.
Alabama is on CST, so there would be a one hour difference there.

WRCB Video: Alabama Police Join Search Part One
Video Transcription (some is paraphrased, most is quoted verbatim)
Callie Starnes reporting: For the first time her story made local headlines in Wetumpka.
Arlene Durham, friend, says every store in Wetumpka has her picture now.
Sherriff Bill Franklin, Elmore County AL: "Anywhere between Tennessee and here where she stayed . . . along that route there's probably going to be BOLOs that are put out."
Arlene Durham: "This is her territory too, where she might feel comfortable if she did leave. She could be anywhere!"
Starnes: Signal Mt. and Hamilton County police are now looking to the Lake House for answers. Thursday, they searched the home. They won't say what or if clues were found, but Alabama authorities have been asked to keep an eye on the property.
Sherriff Franklin: "Anything odd. Anything unique. Anything that's changed."
Starnes: Officers have been advised to be on the lookout for Gail Palmgren, but Franklin says Tenn. authorities are staying tight-lipped about their investigation.
Sherriff Franklin: I'm sure they're going to hold close to the vest as far as what they're working on and what they're going to share with us."
Arlene Durham: I have to face reality, and the reality is the more she's gone and the more we don't find her vehicle, she's not alive. And that bothers me.
Callie Starnes: Investigators in both TN and AL say they are still treating this as a missing persons case. We have learned though from multiple sources that a helicopter crew and dive team will be combing parts of Hamilton County this week.
~~~~~~~~~~
Part Two Hightlights:
Callie Starnes: The weekend she went missing, the morning of April 30th, Gail abruptly packed up and returned to Tennessee, not calling to cancel plans with Durham.
Arlene Durham: "And I said, okay, and you could tell something was bothering her."
Starnes: Durham says she was helping Gail begin the divorce process and each week Gail would send her documents to hold on to. (Showing Arlene Durham holding documents).
Arlene Durham: "She knew if I had it, it was safe."
Starnes: Durham received a letter from Gail's husband, Matthew Palmgren, demanding that all items belonging to the family be returned and banning her from the Palmgren's lakefront property. She says she has also been asked not to "complicate" the search for Gail.
Letter from Matt Palmgren to Arlene Durham:
May 17 (date fuzzy on video) , 2011
RE: Return of Property
Via: Hand Delivery
Arlene: It is my understanding that you are in possession of a Security System DVR that you picked up from Best Buy in Pratville, AL, on May 2, 2011. This is my property. Please give this DVR Mike Mathis, who is the private investigator whom I have hired on my behalf. I have asked Mr. Mathis to deliver this letter to you.
Further, if you should have any other property that belongs to me or to Gail, please give the same to Mike Mathis as well.
Sincerely, Matthew Palmgren
Arlene Durham: "If anybody's missing, it doesn't matter who they are, the more people out there looking for her right away, the better chance you have of finding her."
Starnes: Police search efforts have now expanded into Alabama. Durham says she will continue looking for her friend but fears the worst.

Sorry to delurk suddenly, but I have a question about the phone calls.
If it's true Diane called Gail at the lake house at 6:30 am, do you think it's possible that the phone call itself was what got Gail and the kids up and out of the house by 7 am (in order to be back at SM by noon)? I wonder what that phone call was about?
ETA: if I called my sister (or she called me) at that ridiculous hour of the morning it would have to be important!

I really don't know. Mapquest shows it to be about.. 3 hrs 52 mins / 210.68 miles
The post I made was really in regards to the time difference and what time she would have had to have left the lake house in order to arrive back on Signal Mtn by 12:00 noon..That is WHY I used the word " IF" concerning the 4 hour travel time..

I could be wrong but my understanding is it was Gail who called her sister (Diane) at 6:30 am on Saturday the 30th.

Yes, I figure it might take longer than Mapquest says to drive that far with kids in the car. You have to factor in bathroom breaks and possibly breakfast at a drive-thru.

Investigators close to case say there's a 50/50 chance Palmgren is alive. The key is finding her vehicle.

It was taken to Best Buy for servicing. AD has it in her posession now . . . and MP wants it back desperately (see the letter from MP that AD showed Callie Starnes on news yesterday). AD also has it in writing from GP not to give hard drive to anyone. Guilty conscience, MP? This seems to be more important than helping look for the mother of your children. IMHO.
Btw, ATRUEFRIEND is the one who can best attest to any allegations of a drinking problem.
WHERE IS GAIL MARIE?!?!?
