That's a very interesting thought. I wonder if the website was AVOW as their address is actually LDSavow.com. I believe Lori (and Melani, and many others in their circle) may have had an account and that's how they got caught up in the craziness and connected with the people they did. Lori may have not wanted Tylee to go down that rabbit hole (was there incriminating evidence of stuff going on between Lori and others there?).
I think it most probably was, and I agree that she didn't want Tylee to go there.
To have already identified it as crazy people means Lori had looked at what Charles sent to Tylee, and when Tylee says 'yeah' in response, she acknowledges that they have already had this discussion before they went to the police station.
I think that raises a bigger issue. This was the end of January, 3 months after Chad emailed Lori and ranked Tylee as a 4D - covering the same period "the last several months" Charles told the officer Lori had gotten really, really bad. Lori is hiding all of this from the police the day she reports her purse stolen, hiding her crazy talk about Charles being someone else and dark spirits; hiding the Lori who fits the description Charles gives - "she's not here, she's lost her reality, she's non-sensical". His 'cheating' is the cover story and Tylee believes it. We also know Lori was let go from Community Bridges the following day. The issue I think it raises is that Tylee appears to have no idea that this is what is going on with her mother, yet she is a very smart girl (IMO) and wherever Lori goes Tylee goes too, so Lori must be going out of her way to hide this side of herself (and her involvement with the website of crazy people) from Tylee. By this date Lori 'believes' Charles is possessed and by the same token she must also 'believe' Tylee is possessed. I put 'believe' in inverted commas because I'm not convinced that she doesn't see the absurdity of it. I would like to know more about hiding delusions, and also the possibility that this was another part of the indoctrination of Chad - the necessity of hiding the knowledge from people who can have you classified as insane.
Lori made sure to indoctrinate Tylee with thoughts that Charles was cheating, I believe so that Tylee would reject and not connect with Charles over the ensuing period after Lori started telling Charles he had been possessed. Tylee does not go with Charles and JJ when Lori disappears for 2 months, and tries to 'gather' up her friend April, so we see that, unless Lori broke the news of Moroni's (Chad's) temple revelations to her after the police incident at end of Jan, Lori's 'mission' is being kept a secret from her daughter. I think the actual division between mother and daughter, Lori's secret life, at the same time as keeping Tylee close to her, so early last year, is really very significant in understanding this case, and why she would eventually dispose of Tylee (murder her, imo).
It's a case of 'keep your enemies closer'. I don't believe it has to do with Tylee witnessing the murder of Charles and being a threat of talking out about that. I believe Tylee was completely in Lori's grasp, and was useful to Lori while she could be a (hearsay) witness to Lori's claims about Charles being a threat and being unfaithful, and then once Charles was gone, Lori was just moving forward with the next step of her original plan, to rid herself of the obstacles (zombies) Chad had identified. Tylee was unable to see who Lori really was, which is completely understandable given her age and who had custody of her in her formative years.
I think Chad had really very carefully assessed the chances of Tylee remaining unquestioning through the murders of Brandon and Tammy (imo), after Charles' murder (imo), to get to his goal of marrying Lori. I'm proposing he knew Tylee was about to embark on a life away from home and that distance would remove the spell of her mom, and the 'crazy people', if she was exposed to it. She wasn't an ideal recruit. So the way to counter that was to tell her it was full of crazy people. Tylee could ruin everything for him if she was aligned with Charles and became a reporter to the authorities, paving the way for his exposure as a fraud and, if she wasn't disposed of by the time it would come to happen, the criminal mastermind behind a trail of murders. I think that's why we don't see Tylee enrolling in college last year - it's critical that she be kept by Lori's side. She is encouraged to be JJ's carer because mom needs her and can't cope, as Tylee told her friend.
I really wonder about the psychological process Lori will be going through now that she is apart from Chad. Obviously she has her own abhorrent participation in this scheme, to hide from authorities, and her own contributory personality disorders (imo) that facilitated her actions, but I would like to know if Chad is maintaining pressure on her with regard to the beliefs, and if so, whether the authorities can glean this from recordings of their calls.
MOO
And the 2015 remake didn't do well, as far as I've heard. A few months ago I was hanging out with a group from UT and CA (it's state of origin) and no one but me had seen it.
