It looks like SS's birthday is 1/21/83
 
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_15074193

As part of their divorce, Stacy retained custody as long as he paid her half of a settlement from a pending injury lawsuit he had filed about 18 months ago.

"I would have given her all of it if it meant I was able to keep my son with me," he said.

In the months since their separation, Stacy said Nathan Sloop would send him text messages, some violent.

"I had been threatened over the past six months by him," Stacy said.

Freida Stacy, Ethan's grandmother, said Stephanie Sloop tried to "stir up trouble" several times for her stepson.

"The only reason she wanted [Ethan] was she thought, 'This is how I'm going to get back at Joe,'" Freida Stacy said. "It was like Ethan was just a pawn."

Nathan Sloop has a history of drug convictions and other crimes dating back to 2000. Most recently, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in 2003.

Joe Stacy had met the man face-to-face only once, for about 30 minutes when Stacy flew to Utah to pick up a vehicle from his ex-wife.

"I had really mixed feelings about him," Stacy said. "I didn't know what to believe with him."
 
SS birthday is Jan 21, 1983

(NS bday is Dec 7, 1978)

The court date is 5/28, not 5/29.

Other than that and the birthplace of Ethan it looks super.


ETA:
the HA HA HA letter was reported on 5/26
 
One correction, I believe, for the time-line:
~ Stephanie's step-father is named John Busby, not Joe. (second line).

One possible addition to time-line:
~ Stephanie and Nathanael Sloop's first court appearance.

(I thought it was Stephanie that contacted Nathan on-line that first time, but I may be wrong).

Excellent job on the time-line! A huge thank you!!!
 
Also, under the May 9th, 2010 listing, regarding the Mother's Day card, maybe clarify who Becky Elswick is. (Joe's fiancee, I think)?

I am so impressed with this time-line, and all the work that went into it! Just incredible!

You are right. I was trying to say that, but my wording is weird...I meant that he didn't report this to authority (as far as we've read) until after Ethan's death. I'll change the wording. :)

Yes, I think you are right. I saw on the wedding registry Nathan saying that they talked for 24 hours after he sent her a message, but now that I think more about it....he says he saw messages from her in the midst of the most horrible part of his life..... I get it now....she messaged him, then when he finally messaged back, they talked and the rest is.....as you all know. I'll change that too.

Just thinking out loud...

When I was a little kid my Dad worked in NYC. He got home from work about 7:30 pm or so. First thing my mother would tell him all the bad things we children did that day. We would hear the heavy tread on the stairs and quiver with fear in our beds. The covers were pulled back and we were spanked for the transgressions of the day. All these years later I believe my father reacted to my mother's anger. I guess what I am trying to say is perhaps NS was SS's extension to hurt Joe and also Ethan. I am not giving that filth a pass, believe me. I am just wondering if she does not hold as much/ more guilt than believed.

For God's sake, she was his MOTHER!
Click to expand...
Because she was his mother is why I think she is mentally impaired. I don't think that she is mentally balanced and JOE even told the JUDGE that she was imbalanced.
I agree that a normal mother would definitely have a very different emotional response. I am not giving her a pass at all. I am just saying.......No way, is she normal.
 
Since the threats to Joe were sent via text, can we be sure N actually sent them, or could it have been S send them using N's phone?
