Found Deceased FL - Kristina French, 53, Neptune Beach, 21 Nov 2017 *Arrest*

[tara83]

I hope he doesn't get away with this.He's so innocent looking with a baby face and a stupid jury would fall for it.<modsnip>

So, wouldn't Logan get that 'one phone call' and likely use it to call his mom? Hopefully she would tell him to REMAIN SILENT and request an attorney.
Mom should get legal representation for him, STAT.
Rest assured, I am not saying that if he did kill Kristina he should not be punished. What I am saying is that we have seen cases before where a minor is fed a story, threatened with all kinds of stuff, and decides to follow the script of what the police tell him to instead of a factual account of what happened. (Brenden Dassey) At this point (unless I have missed an update) they are only calling him a POI, not even a suspect and no charges for the death have been brought. There could be some explanation for what happened that we, the public, know nothing about.
15 years old is pretty damn young. If it were my child I would be freaking out and also doing everything I could to make sure he has a fair trial, if it came to that.
Anything you say can and will...

She said he spent weeks "living off the land" so I would assume he knows how to manage his diabetes perfectly well under any conditions. If true, I guess we're all lucky he ran for the border and wasn't hiding out in the woods where he may not have been found for weeks.

JMO but maybe Logan's mom doesn't have the funds for an attorney and is hoping the ACLU would appoint someone to represent him?

As far as something triggered by Logan's diabetes I've never heard of a psychotic episode brought on by the disease but then no one I know has Type 1 diabetes. Does anyone know?

A "psychological break" may be in the picture but to know if that's the case will require IMO an evaluation and expert opinion, which I'm pretty sure will soon happen. I'm afraid Logan's mom has an uphill climb if she feels something unusual happened in Logan's mind to cause him to allegedly murder his beloved grandmother that would exonerate him from any consequences.

I'm so sad for this family - on both sides.

i agree with what mom is doing. it sets a dangerous precedent. a 15 year old kid is not a match for seasoned detectives during questioning.

i don't know why he did what he did, but like other's have mentioned, i wouldn't want to see a child be falsely charged or prosecuted for saying all the wrong things because he was taught to respect authority by his dad, or he was learning disabled, or scared. you know what i mean?

i hope we find out the motive. and i think the kid should serve time for what he did, but in a facility geared towards education, rehabilitation and health care (mental and psychological). he's still young.

i don't think he's a little murderous sociopath. i think he's a really screwed up kid.

my heart goes out to the family. may kristrina's memory live on!

This is interesting, if L had his hair cut prior to the events that occurred, might that suggest an element of planning? imo, speculation.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Mott had cut his hair short in an attempt to alter his appearance.

We haven't heard any responses from the father who he lived with. I am sure the father is overwhelmed with the whole situation and finding his mother dead.

I do wonder if he is advising his ex on what needs to be done for Logan's sake. She seems to be on top of handling the steps she is taking.

On the other hand, I have the impression Father is a very strict and authoritative dad. He may not be clear headed and calm enough yet to go face his son.

This is such a tragedy.

How shaving his head was in response to a dare from his father though.

Either the article or LE was mistaken about the haircut being an attempt to alter L's appearance.
The father may have thought it was on a dare and unknowingly contributed to the desired effect.

That would mean it was planned for a couple weeks. According to his mother it was on a dare from the father. How could it be an attempt to alter his appearance of it was like that for 2 weeks and all of his family members (and Facebook account) were aware of it?

Not sure why it bothers me, but the mom's hyphenated last name irks.

Hmmm....maybe LM's "escape" was meant to happen earlier. Meaning, closer to the 11th when the Dad and girlfriend left on vacation but for reasons unknown, it happened later?!

Not sure why the JSO would say that unless they know more than we do?

This is why Momma needs to be quiet.
Or at least not broadcast it over the internet. I seriously doubt she and her ex are in agreement on how to handle this. She has already given (inadvertently I am sure) the prosecution some rope to hang him with. And it's all in written form.

All speculation on my part.

Color me confused but if JSO hasn't yet interviewed Logan how could they know why he cut his hair?

I don't understand why she is keeping the last name Mott. Hasn't she been divorced from Mr Mott for a decade?

That poor boy.

Maybe she wants to keep the name since it’s her son’s last name. I don’t understand why this is of any concern. I know several divorced women with kids who keep their previous name.

I kept mine and I've been divorced since 2004. Better for the kids and a lot less work.
