Wanna know what I think?
Probably not, but here goes lol
I don’t think SS ran with the university crowd, her life was in a different trajectory, no commonality
It doesn’t matter why she FT mom, either it was an accident or usual method of communication or somewhere in between. Bottom line, mom didn’t seem to think she was in danger.
While she could have had a disagreement at the house and took off and met danger, I think the more likely outcome was that she ODd and they decided not to go down for someone who they considered to be a “party girl”
Altho I will say, the “i was driving to make a statement” kind of has a ring of validity, Bc some days had passed, maybe he just realized the news and hadn’t realized she was missing? As in, he wasn’t acting guilty.
