Posts #711 and #715 of thread 1 are informative posts as to how AbuDrake and Fleude view each other and their memories of events.
Was Taylor carrying a gun when she went missing?

When did Taylor last see her son/take her son to her mother’s house?
A neighbor on Berkley Drive in Pensacola claims to have seen Taylor and her son playing outside prior to her going missing (WEARTV News) and the same news source reported she visited her mother with her son one week prior to going missing.

Taylor voluntarily gave custody of her son to her ex in the divorce in 2016; Taylor allowed her son to move to NC with his father and the Guardian At Litem commended her for this decision (AbuDrake post #47 & #218, Thread1).
Taylor was fighting to regain custody of her son just prior to going missing. She had put down a retainer for a lawyer to fight for custody. Taylor was also appealing the ordered child support amount; Appeal initially denied because TW and ex had not yet separated HHG. HHG still were not divided when TW went missing (AbuDrake post#218, Fleurde post #774, #852, & 987, Thread1)
The following summary statement is from a June 2017 divorce court decision:
“ORDER VACATING EMERGENCY EX PARTE ORDER FREEZING BANK ACCOUNT AND ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO DISTRIBUTE THE BANK ACCOUNT AS ORDERED IN TEH SUPPLEMENTAL FINAL JUDGMENT OF DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE” (Okaloosaclerk.com)
The VI’s have given differing accounts of what this summary line means for the money that Taylor withdrew in June. Both VI’s agree that she withdrew $100,000 from her account in June 2017.
Taylor’s ex claims about $30,000 of $100,000 withdrawn belongs to him; TW was also ordered to pay $4200 in retroactive child support and $600 a month thereafter. TW was also ordered to transfer $25k of the $100k she withdrew in an escrow account to cover real estate expenses. (AbuDrake posts #106, #158, #294 & #556, Thread1).
Taylor’s GF claims the $100,000 was award in Taylor’s column in the marriage dissolution. "When it was unfrozen, TW had legal right to it. Step 2 from the court ordered her to pay to help them sell a mutual property." Any taxes to be paid, would have to be done for the 2017 tax year, which is filed in 2018. (Fleurde posts # 814, #982, #984 Thread1)
Was Taylor Hiding her income and/or assets?
Taylor’s ex states: “She is very secretive about her work, and who she works for. As the divorce case documents note, she didn't disclose employment records as ordered, had large amounts of unexplained income, hidden bank accounts, and was deceptive and evasive about where the money came from.” (AbuDrake post #79)
Taylor had testified she had been volunteering at gun shows for the past year and she was not paid for that; her ex disputes and suspects she was getting paid under the table; GF says TW was selling tactical apparel (belts, holsters, etc) at the gun shows (AbuDrake post#110 & #364, Thread1; Fleurde post # 791, Thread1)
Did Taylor commit insurance fraud?
Taylor allegedly filed a “$24k fraudulent insurance claim” in her husband’s name with the military; The claim was filed after the couple moved to Florida and was a claim for replacement of furniture damaged/missing in the move. No charges were ever filed for this claim. (AbuDrake posts #110 & 144, Thread1)
Did Taylor have an affair while married?
Taylor’s ex claims she had an extramarital affair in Feb 2015. Taylor denied any affair. Her ex moved out of their house in March 2015 and the other woman moved into their house in April 2015.
