Given Terri's track record of things she has said, how much weight could one give to the statement you seek from her now, regarding Cook's access to the document?
Examples:
- If Terri was innocent and left Kyron at school and went to run errands, why do her alibi statements not jibe with her cell and bank records (and possibly other evidence not yet revealed)? Would the argument here be that "sure, cell and bank records say one thing, but we haven't heard what Terri says about this".
- Then there's those darn sticky polygraphs - we have no idea what all Terri was asked on those but we know she failed two or three of them and even walked out without completing at least one of those. Would the argument here be, "sure, she failed polygraphs and walked out too, but we haven't heard from Terri what she says about this". It should be noted here that the same polygraphs were given to 3 other parents, who all passed.
But even if one were to discount Terri's multiple failed polygraphs, discount Terri's bank records, discount Terri's cell phone records, discount statements from the landscaper, and now discount statements from her most recent love, I would LOVE to know what the devil's advocate approach would be for:
Why is Terri not contesting custody of her baby K? We know she wants her baby back - she went to Kaine's gym to try to get her. She asked the clerk to let her know when Kaine and baby K were at the gym again.
So why not attend the July 22nd hearing and fight to get her baby? Why not stand in front of a judge and tell her story of innocence and at least get a shot at 50/50 custody? If we stick to the 'we haven't heard from Terri on this' does that mean we also cannot put any weight in her attorney's statement that Terri will not be contesting custody? In your quest to hear from Terri, does attorney Houze speak for her?
If there really is no proof of any wrong doing, she should be able to get partial custody. Why would she not try?
If she is innocent and all of this is just statements from others and as you put it: "but we haven't heard what Terri says", then why not take the July 22nd opportunity to speak? Especially when it could mean getting custody or partial custody of her baby?
For those who think LE is being singularly focused on Terri and perhaps thinking LE has nothing on her, then why couldn't she walk into that judge's chambers and make that case so she could get her baby?
I am sincerely interested in any devil's advocate reply.

She could be guilty of all that you say about everything regarding Kyron's disappearance, and could still be NOT guilty that someone else saw the RO while it was under seal because of what THAT person chose to do (speculating that it is possible MC decided to take a peek and a few pics of the RO while she was in another room).
For instance: I have yet to hear LE say she was in possession of her cell phone all day long and that they could verify it was in her hands for the entire time that the cell phone pinged. There is a discrepancy with the phone and where she says she was, yet there is a possibility that someone Terri is protecting had the phone. It is a possibility. And it would be something Terri needs to admit to, and name that person (if such a person exists). I have to ask, if this possibility is viable, WHY she wouldn't tell. The answer is simple, and cannot be said here.
For instance: I would be hard pressed to tell you exactly where I've been today (basically my house making ribs and tater salad, so didn't really go anywhere, but get me to detail after that and we're going into gray area) so how many of these bank records veer differently than what she told LE, and to what degree? Is it a matter of saying she was at Albertson's or Fred Meyer but there are no bank records to prove it (cash covers that). They have video of the stores; I guess we'll see if she's there. If she never claimed she was there, I guess we'll see.
For instance: We have LE stating that Terri is being cooperative, yet there are things she's not telling them. We have no statement from an official on a polygraph, and forgive me for this one, I'll take with a grain of salt (or Whisperer's box of salt) anyone claiming the pass/fail of any test who doesn't wear a badge.
For instance: LE reported that statements made by Kaine and Desiree were not statements from them. Therefore, while I appreciate that Kaine felt strongly enough by what LE told him regarding the landscaper and the MFH plot, and a judge felt confident there was probable cause to grant a restraining order, Terri was not arrested for such a plot and remains free. I don't have to play devil's advocate here. I merely have to bide my time to see how this one pans out. It's hinky beyond hink. But my opinion on this doesn't matter, and it is the actions of LE which will measure and caution my leap into the firepit burning around Terri's feet to add fuel to that fire. Just my way.
For instance: There have been days' worth of reports discussing Terri's PPD and other issues. The source of this was Kaine, as far as I can see, and therefore must be taken as at minimum him putting together what he's seen over the past 19 months which has caused a rift to form in their marriage in the first place and potentially feed into Terri's behavior in the last month since Kyron disappeared. Then she is slapped with a divorce and a RO and her husband flees their home with their daughter. She's represented by a lawyer now, and there's nothing which will help her look 'normal' based on everything I've typed so far in all these paragraphs. So her lawyer may advise her to get help and stay in that help. Instead of doing that, however, she finds a new man, and now she's facing a contempt of court charge. I imagine she's now being strongly urged to get that help and stay in that help. No judge would grant custody to her at this point....there is just too much to pretend there's not SOMETHING going on. But none of it can say with any absolute what that something is.
Standing in a courtroom to fight for custody will not focus on that custody. It will look to answer all these other questions surrounding her, and without an adequate defense, she would be a fool to even try. As sad as it might seem, she is in a zero sum position, where the struggle is a lot more than whether she can parent her daughter again. It is whether she can keep her freedom. And for those who believe she's the ultimate narcissist, that won't be a hard choice for her to make.
But I always ask myself: What if she didn't do it, who did, and why would she protect that person? Because if nothing else, I believe Terri has information which could end this mystery. She doesn't want to give it, and by all accounts, Terri is behaving in a most self-destructive manner. What would cause a woman to discombobulate so much that she has more and more skeletons falling out of her closet and it doesn't make her speak? Either she really believes she'll get away with something horrendous, or she's taking the bullet for someone else.
I have nothing yet which wipes out a possibility of someone else. And as for the RO, I hold that it is possible MC snuck the photos of the RO and sent them to the others without her knowledge.
(none of this answers to the probability that it is true. Only to the possibility that it could be true.)
