There are a couple of more things I want to add...I remember reading in The Hillside Strangler about cops that cannot deliver a death notification without laughing. That came to me just a little while ago, and I have a friend who does the same thing, almost.
It's purely a defense mechanism.
NSC, I don't think she's involved, either, but am wondering if seeing LE led her to think about the deserved retribution that will be coming. I think she knows something, too-and despite her denials, she probably knows more than she's admitting.
The 2nd thing is how strange it was for her to be referring to her 13-year old as a 'man'.
I thought that was kind of odd, but since she was kind of stuttering there, I didn't go back to listen again. But yeah. If ya'll caught that, that must have been what I thought. Strange. 13 to me is still almost a little boy. And little boys cry, whether they want to or not. Is he the one who was always tormenting Somer? For him to start hitting things sounds a little unruly, but times, they're not normal.
And I missed this-he doesn't live there, right? Does anyone know since when?
