Thank you all for your thoughts. I am quite aware that there is not always a motive, evil happens. But in thinking of SA I was trying to think IF there was a motive. It appears he liked 'bad' stuff but how far was he willing to go to personally 'experience' it? Was he willing to risk all, and commit a 'perfect' crime??
I have to wonder about the sequence of events involving him that crucial weekend. Were his actions related to doing something to Hailey? Or were they just par for the course, crap he always did.
Walking into his job, and walking back out 10 minutes later- has he missed work like that before? He might of been a good employee, but even those do weird things related to their jobs. Was this action completely new, or out of the blue? Maybe he was thinking if he did this, he would get fired and could collect unemployment. Voluntarily quitting ones job doesn't usually get you unemployment benefits, unless a hostile workplace is involved, at least to my knowledge. Maybe he was thinking he needed to keep some money coming in , or Billie was gonna be ticked off....and did he realize his 'plan' was wack?
OR maybe he did something to Hailey and this was bizarre behavior.
What about the phone pings, or lack there of?? Maybe he did go to granny's, and wound up at mama's..on the computer doing who knows what... but in between, I gotta wonder if Shawn might have been getting a little yummy nummy on the side??? Lots of nooks and cranny between Ccty & Big Spring for a little morning delight....
OR was he taking care of other, less delightful, business....
If he really 'liked' Billie, of what benefit to him would it be to harm her daughter? I mean was he wanting an attaboy?? Or what? This would be a really insane way to 'break up' with someone.
OR was her disappearance part of a grand plan for all to be foot loose and fancy free, and ride off into the sunset, live it up and party hardy, with no strings attached, no responsibilities of children....the other child, pfftt, and someone decided I'm not gonna have Hailey, so no one else is either, so..... wonder if someone said if you love me then you will make it so we can go away together ( they are still supposedly 'together')
...could that be motive enough to disappear Hailey?
Why was Shawn locked in the house & supposedly 'spooked' when DD showed up that day- was Shawn in the midst of some hair raising activity? Was he , ahh, entertaining himself??? OR someone else???
Or did he figure he was busted, for either not being at work....or nervous because he HAD done something to Hailey.....
........ taking care of more not so delightful business??
Was everything business as usual that night that Hailey was supposedly spending the night away?? Or did that household, one or more members already know she wasn't coming home?
Was Shawn his own maker of a sequence of unfortunate events, that left the finger of blame pointing at him?
Or were these events part of a greater evil? Is he capable, alone or NOT, of pulling off the disappearance of a child?? Why???
Is Shawn ( and another/others???) at fault or completely clueless? Is this some big cover up...extending beyond the walls of Chestnut street.......of a greater evil??
Gosh where is that child , and WHO is responsible???
I am merely speculating....I have concerns over whether or not Shawn IS the only POI, or only one of ever how many.....
OR a real POI may be out there.
I just don't want stupid to win.
