UGHHH. I really hope they did not spend the night in the same house with TS after she was dead. Not only is that mental sick, but that has to be the most traumatizing thing for BS. There's a possibility they could have went and camped somewhere close by until morning since they had what they needed.

I might have missed it, but did the LE ever say if they ANY of the computers in the house ?

I do not think they spent the night at Tina's house. My mind will not even go there. I think he would think that would be too risky. Also, I think the neighbors may have remembered if the car was still there Sat morning. I know that when I get up in the morning I usually look outside, not to be nosey, just looking around though. I saw lots of Christmas decorations lit up on neighbor's houses so I think someone would most likely been out decorating Saturday morning since it was the second weekend after Thanksgiving, when lots of people get out and put lights up.

Reading from the start I did see dad has shared custody of Brittany.

I hope LE thoroughly investigates and clears BS before she is allowed back in the house or has access to their computers, phones, etc.
It is nice that there is so much compassion for her from many because of her age, but based on her comments (to him?) on ms and the video, she is not passing my sniff test for being the unwilling abductee.I am not convinced she was not a willing participant in whatever took place.

Did not read anything about what LE said was gone from house or if computers were taken by JE or LE.

I cannot even think of going back into house to gather belongings.
Maybe the plan was to pack up first then runaway????
But Tina caught JE and died???

I agree but right now we have to treat her as a VICTIM according to WS TOS.........

I guess we will not know much about Tina's murder until JE is charged with it.
Hope he confesses and tells all.
After all JE is facing credit card forgery, kidnapping, everything in the book with a juvenile, (many many years in prison) so on top of that possibly murder.

Whenever I see what her statuses said, it creeps me out. It's like she knew what was going to happen.

IMO, I think she confronted him that thursday night or early friday morning with what the relatives had said and started questioning him. I read somewhere that she and Brittany were seen shopping friday morning. I guess she kept her out of school that day. Why? Did she feel there could be trouble brewing? Did she think he might try to get Brittany out of school Friday?

BS will be coming back home with the detectives. They said they have wrapped up their investigation in San Francisco, but JSE will remain behind bars.[/QUO

I thought someone in BS's family went to SF. I find this kind of unbelievable;how couldn't anyone in the family go down there?

snipped from above article

No family of Brittany Smith joined four investiagtors to California; interrogations of Easley will begin tonight, as well as initial conversations with the 12-year-old. There still is no word on the nature of her relationship with Easley.

There will be no new information concerning Tina Smith's cause and manner of death

She is a VICTIM, no two ways around it.

Yeah. I hate even thinking about it. Im pretty sure someone has come forward to say if they saw the cars there at whatever times on Friday and Saturday.

I'm the same way as well. I usually know what's going on around my house from going outside, letting my dogs out, watching the kids outside, etc. One of my friend's parents live next door to the house ; so more than likely they did put their decorations up that weekend since they were out of town for Thanksgiving and I know they work all during the week. I would ask them if they remember anything, but I know they are upset about what happened.

It was probably a school holiday (day after Thanksgiving)?

Ahh, gotcha, thank you for pointing that out.

(My internal jury is still out, but I do respect rules.)

I absolutely agree. And from what I read from the Aunt, he was definitely grooming her -- as most pedophiles do. Trying to make her think the hair touching, hand holding was okay. Poor girl.

She is in my heart, thoughts and prayers as she continues her journey through life.

Hugs,

Mel

No, that was the week before, they went back to school on Monday, Nov 29. I thought that for a while too, but the kids were out the previous week and had been back for a week already.

Wow - I'm suprised her dad didn't go to SF...considering what his daughter must have gone through. I would have been on a plane in a heartbeat. I'm not going to read much into it, but perhaps LE doesn't want BS distracted by family members while being questioned??

Just thinking out loud.

In one of the articles this weekend, it was said that each of the 4 VA detectives are assigned to a specific area of the investigation.

Even since Lavinder said that 4 detectives were going to CA and would bring BS and LE back, I was hoping that at least one of them is female (and/or a female child advocate would accompany them). I just think that under the circumstances of the kidnapping and BS's mother's murder, it could be very scary/intimidating for BS to have 4 male detectives and no female LE/advocate escorting her back. JMHO.

I thought her MS posting was much later on Friday? The one about looking forward from now on. I'll have to wait until my son gives me my ipod back to check.
