I had to watch it a few times. I felt sad for her. But if she wants speculation to stop maybe just speak out. Where was she that night. Was the grandma home and watching the girls, or was JR. If she was doing something illegal, come clean and start over for Bella and her other girl. Honesty helps a lot.

Investigators released the cause of Isabella's death Friday morning and said she was asphyxiated by strangulation.

Detectives first learned of Rector's potential role in Isabella's disappearance and murder from her 10-year-old sister, according to court documents.

The girls' mother returned home with friends and contacted police early Tuesday morning after she could not find Isabella, according to court documents.

It states above that LE first heard of JR's possible involvement from the sister....

JMO...
 
Here's a transcript of the mom's interview:

The media's getting everything all twisted, I've been working... until three or four o'clock in the morning with the FBI.

I would never hurt my daughter, she was my world I would lay down and die for her.

My mother that's going on Nancy Grace, Toni Page - she was NEVER a mother!

I have made some bad choices in my life but I have never ever been, never ever able not to provide for my daughter, whether it'd be legal or not.

I know what's right and wrong, I barely have a bad background at all...

I loved my daughter with everything, and all of me and I would never hurt my daughter and now it's time for the media to know... that I had not done nothing wrong.

The person that is being charged with the..with my daughter's death is behind bars... and I'm going to be going to go visiting him because he will open up to me.

I want him to know... why he hurt Bella...

This is my daughter... and people need to leave me alone.

Yes. Here's Bella's grandmother in the news.

Police haven't ruled out the possibility of more arrests, leaving the girl's grandmother still waiting for closure.

"I had custody of Bella for a little while, and then she went back to her mom. Within a couple of months this happened. I have a lot of anger. I just want to grab hold of somebody, but I can't," said Toni Page.

I really feel for this grandmother. Just two months prior to this, she had custody of Bella, then she was returned to her mother.

Hundreds at vigil for murdered Bullhead City girl

BULLHEAD CITY, AZ (CBS5) -

Hundreds of people from all over the Bullhead City area came to a site near where 8-year-old Isabella Grogan-Cannella's body was found to pay their respects Thursday night.

[...]

"She was a beautiful, very ambitious young lady and she didn't deserve this," Isabella's grandmother Toni Page said.

"All we can do is go on and wish for the best and have her in our prayer and our hearts the whole time. All these people are standing here for my granddaughter, and that's an awesome thing. It's a beautiful thing," she said.
Questions linger after 8-year-old's strangulation death
Laurie Roberts, columnist | azcentral.com 10:27 a.m. MST September 5, 2014

My question: why was this 26-year-old man living with Bella's family?

[...]

So who leaves a man like that alone with little girls? (Or anyone that you don't know really really well.)
 
I guess "barely" means 2 drug related and one contribution to the delinquency arrests according to AZ court records .

And there seem to be other people who lived at the house who are not mentioned at all in this.....like other children living there.....how did they figure into the scenario that night - were they absent from the home temporarily, asleep or ??

Why did the adults leave the house without checking on the kids??

And something was going on if her daughters were taken from her and were living with their grandparents. And have we established why the girls were back with the mother? Did CPS give the girls back to her? She started to say in one interview that she got the girls back but didn't complete what she was saying.

BBM: But I think she does know him well, she says he'll open up to her, which is why he's going to visit him in jail to find out why he did this to her daughter.

I hadn't seen this video before . Bella has 2 older sisters ?! The oldest one looks about 13-14 . Does she not live with TG ? And why if TG had 3 daughters does she say she only has 1 left to live for?

From all I've read TG only has 2 daughters. It's possible the other sister is her sister on her dad's side?
