Lyric's mom and dad on JVM now... I am still uncomfortable with how comfortable the mom is during this interview... smiling... doesn't seem worried. Maybe I'm just paranoid?
It is odd to me as well.
She is traumatized and in shock....
Been there and done that.
People in shock are not as articulate as she is. They may not be flailing about, nor crying, shaking or screaming, but they tend to be confused and in a state of unreality:
The symptoms show great variation but typically include an initial state of "daze", with some constriction of the field of consciousness and narrowing of attention, inability to comprehend stimuli, and disorientation.
This state may be quickly followed by either further withdrawal from the surrounding situation (to the extent of a dissociative stupor), or by agitation and overactivity, anxiety, impaired judgement, confusion, detachment, and depression. Autonomic signs of panic anxiety (tachycardia, sweating, flushing) are also commonly present.
The symptoms usually appear within minutes of the impact of the stressful stimulus or event, and disappear within 2–3 days (often within hours). Partial or complete amnesia for the episode may be present.
Acute stress reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I went into shock as a child due to a trauma. No way would someone in psychological shock act the way this mom did. She actually snickered when Jane pointed out how strong she was being - grinned, laughed and flipped her hair.
I am also very familiar with tranquilizers. She has none of the signs of someone who is on one - at least none of the signs of someone who has taken enough to be clam in the face of great trauma or fear.
That being said, I think it is very clear that this family are victims. Mom of Lyric was at work. Dad apparently was as well.
Both kids were with grandma when they went missing. To believe that mom's reactions show consciousness of guilt would be to believe that dad, mom, grandma and the parents of the other child, are all in on it, as well as possibly the aunt. That either all of them conspired to harm the girls or all of them are conspiring to cover up what one of them did.
That makes no sense.
I find the mom's reactions very odd but maybe she is simply telling herself that they are okay and will be coming back. Maybe she is in hardcore denial.
Bottom line though, the facts indicate there is no way they are involved. They are victims.
So the timeframe was pushed back a bit and we still don't have a confirmed last sighting time yet. I hope they clarify. It would seem strange to me if they were away and out of sight of the house for 3+ hours of bike riding on a hot day.
Oh, and I also hope they aren't in that lake. That would be truly horrific
It is possible that they decided to go for a swim and had an accident of some sort. It does happen.
And don't forget the fishing boy who says he didn't see the girls.
True, but that lake looked big. Is it possible that a person on one side of the lake would never see someone on the other side?
That's the same timeline I come up with :banghead: They don't know if the man was telling the truth (not sure why they would doubt him???)....
Marc Klaas was on JVM and stated we should be careful about casting suspicion on people who provide info or tips. I agree. I don't know why they wouldn't believe him and if people who provide info are going to be immediately looked at as suspicious, people will stop getting involved.
Unless their bodies are right there somewhere, and had just been killed, it is doubtful that the perp would still be there too, giving people false info. IMO.
And that conflicts with what was said previously about gma looking from 2-3 and then calling LE at 3.
How do we know what is right? Here is a news report repeating that the girls were last seen at 12:15 p.m.

But it also has a flyer in the article stating they were last seen around 2:00 p.m. On JVM, I heard the aunt and mom state that the girld were reported missing around 2:00 p.m. or so and that by 3:00 p.m. the police were swarming the area.
Isn't this super important? Shouldn't we know the exact times by now?
