When I first started following the case, I thought it was pretty plausible that Lori could be hiding her children. For that area in Idaho, it wouldn't be too far-out wacky and she (and Chad) definitely had the crazy history of being deeply involved in end times studying and such. I still figured at least Chad to be a murderer due to Tammy and Lori at best was simply a bad person. But as we learn more and more, I just don't see her hiding them.
At some point, you can only have some many coincidences when it eventually turns into
patterns. If they were
just religious preppers, sure. I could buy it. But we also have the following factors compounding...
- The kids go missing right before Chad's wife dies mysteriously
- Charles is shot dead right before by Lori's brother
- Lori's brother dies in Dec
- L&C run off to Hawaii
- L&C get married barely 2 weeks after Tammy's funeral
- L was sending sexy dances to C as early as Jan 2019
- All family have been cut off from the children
- JJ's service dog is not taken with him, instead being sold/given back
- Instead of dumping the children's belongings all at once, she stores them and slowly (and deliberately?) gets rid of them visit-by-visit, including highly personal items.
- L has a history of pathological lying
- L has a history of telling people she will drive her children "off a cliff" or they would be better off dead.
- L has told people her children were dead at times they were verifiably alive
- L&C are unable to provide even a picture of the children as proof they are alive
All of this info combined does not make it seem like they are simply hiding children in a compound, with friends, or with church members. This paints a very bad picture.
MOO.
Additionally....so what
is going to happen once July 2020 passes by? (If they aren't arrested yet?) The world will still be here, everything will be the same, so what are L&C going to do?
