This feels ominous to me. I'm sure they will have made a plan for being located.
Do police have the powers to stop them if they were to board an international flight?
Has it been explained how the reporter knew Lori had cash in the bag? I wonder if it could have contained passports also, even false ones.
I think there are sufficient grounds for arresting Lori. If it was just one child missing I'd say less grounds, but two children of the same mother disappearing cannot have an innocent explanation or ignorance of the causation, imo. She would be looking for them if she thought they were missing without her knowledge and involvement. JJ with special needs is not going to okay left with strangers. Tylee is old enough to have made herself found. I don't think there is anywhere, except captivity, that could stop that, so as a mother Lori would have knowingly allowed her daughter to be taken and held captive. I'd charge Lori with murder, on the basis of the two children being gone, and see her plead down from it and prove they are alive. We hear of missing body murder cases all the time.
Those expressions look like smug defiance. That isn't innocence imo. I could already tell from the footage of the day Charles was shot to death that Lori is immature and mentally disordered in some way with inappropriate affect, and callousness, but for a man of Chad's age with his own children to not have concerns for Lori's children's welfare and Lori's involvement, and live on the run, with a facial expression like that, showing no concern, is equally immature, self-absorbed and disordered. Whether he had a hand in Tammy's death or not.
All moo.
