Thank you i.b.nora, I'd totally missed that. I only saw the first page and had missed the rest. I wonder how long Cindy's children have been in foster care. I keep going back to this statement:
http://desperatelyseekingsalem.com/2009/09/11/chicken-run/
"...A team of a neighbor son, a neighbor mother, Mrs. Jondle, and the Jondle’s 9-year-old daughter then finish off the bird by pulling out the liver and heart for people who like these things, the lungs, and the intestines, hoping all the while that they won’t accidentally squeeze the gal bladeer and send green goo across the room."
This was written on Sept. 11, 2009. Could it be possible that the nine year old girl was the neighbor's foster child, Cindy's daughter?
Has anyone gotten the impression that there's anything more to the statement that the child was afraid of Mr. Jondle (presumably Cindy means Scott, Drew's dad)? She seems to only bring that issue up in passing and certainly doesn't focus on it. Instead, she focuses on the money.
I also have to wonder if there was discord due to the fact that the children were placed with neighbors in a very nice area of Dallas and probably getting far better care than when in Cindy's care due to a higher standard of living. There can be great resentment build up between foster and birth families as many birth families feel that their children are being "spoiled" or will never want to go back to their old lives. This rarely happens as almost all kids DO want to go back, even when there's been documented neglect and abuse.
Two things jump out at me when reading the complete probable cause. First, there's the issue of Drew riding a "motorized scooter" to his parents' home. I'm not sure what LE means by that. It could be a scooter like a Vespa which can travel on city streets and highways up to a speed of 65 mph and require a motorcycle license. Or it can mean a motorized smaller scooter, more like a toy, which is usually used more like a skateboard. It would be very odd for a man to ride 20 miles on such a scooter.
Secondly, there's the issue of the almost nonexistent attempt at a cover-up. Did Cindy and Drew truly not realize that they would be the first stop for LE? The water delivery man immediately thought of Drew, rather than an intruder. Cindy disposed of the bloody clothing only across the street in a dumpster and Drew showers off and goes to bed. Credit cards are strewn about.
Some planning certainly went into the murder but I see none into the cover-up. Were they just stunned by the enormity of the murders or unaware of the enormity? I'd really like to know more about Cindy and why her children were removed in the first place.
