I noticed something that I wanted to put out there.
Let me be very clear first.
I do not think that Hailey's mother Billie had anything to do with Hailey's disappearance, whatsoever.
I have noticed on Nancy especially, that she is saying things like:
"It
wasn't rare for Hailey to walk a short distance during daylight."
"She
wasn't allowed out after dark especially to walk..."
"No, she
didn't have her own cell phone..."
The things like "she
didn't take anything with her..." make sense. That was a one time event so it is past tense.
On the others
I would say:
"It
isn't rare for Hailey to walk a short distance..."
"She
isn't allowed out after dark..."
"She
doesn't have her own cell phone..."
Because those are not past tense if Hailey comes home safely, they will all still apply.
Again, I
do NOT think this means that Billie has any guilty knowledge of her daughter's disappearance. There are other times when she uses present tense... "She's a wonderful girl. She has a little attitude sometimes, but not a bad kid."
What I
am wondering is if she has a mother's intuition that is showing through without her intending for it to.
Many mothers say they knew immediately their child was gone, they could feel it. I wonder if Billie feels that way but is struggling to remain in denial until there is proof. The denial may be what is keeping her going, clinging to the hope that her intuition is wrong and Hailey will come home. But every once in a while she slips into the past tense because deep down it's what she believes... because she knows her daughter.
I see more than just exhausted in Billie's eyes and it breaks my heart. I do wonder what she believes deep down.
I'm probably just over analyzing... but I thought I'd put it out there before the past tense got brought up.
