To me, it speaks to yet another pattern. To wit:

"Horman threw shot put, but her best event was discus. In May 1988 during her senior year, she was a contender at the state track championships but, in the end, did not place.
That year
Horman met Ecker at a Fred Meyer store in Roseburg where he worked. They dated for a few months but then became friends, with Horman sharing confidences with him."

"By 1995,
Horman's marriage to Tarver soured, with each accusing the other of infidelity. They divorced in November, and she gained custody of J, with Tarver agreeing to later pay child support.
Horman moved back to her parents' house in Roseburg. She later attended McDonald's fast food management school and worked for a time at a McDonald's in Cottage Grove, Ecker said.
Romantically, she moved on as well.
She started dating Ecker again, and in August 1996 they married in Springfield."

"The red-headed, blue-eyed girl with a big smile became a focus of Terri's life. She plastered her Facebook page with pictures of K*** eating, playing and sleeping and, out of the blue,
sent a stream of messages about the baby to Tarver, whom she usually talked to about J."
