I suppose the young Daybells are still strongly supportive of their father. But I wouldn't be surprised if a few doubts are slowing creeping into one or two of them. They seem reasonably intelligent to me, so how can there not be a doubt or two? But being immediately stomped upon probably.
It has been nearly a year and a half since that crazy, flat-affect 48 hours interview. Those kids (whom I neither pity nor envy) have to have at least peeked at some of the way they have been reported on in the media/social media, and how it has been received on social media. They have to have gotten some case info from sources other than their father.
(How much contact are they even allowed with their father- especially the eldest 2- when they are also witnesses to their mother's murder or the immediate aftermath/coverup?)
So I would think there is some evolution in thought. Especially on the part of the one who really seemed emotional (L.) Maybe the fake cryer and her brother, who were cold enough to have no response to dead children buried in Dad's yard, will be the slowest to change. All they did was logic out why Dad had nothing to do with it. (Dad is too smart to bury in his own yard; Dad is too good at digging graves to have done this sloppy work.) An icy soul like that would move more slowly.
I also think there is some evidence that Chad had gotten into the eldest the most. E. voiced Rowe's books. G. told a witness that Dad's books were visions, not fiction. That would slow down change.
Yet, pre-trial, silence does not mean there has been no change. If anything, refusal to repeat something like 48 hours is promising. Even if the attitude of all 5 of them is, "Yeah, he did it," it would not mean they should run to the press. At most, amend or add to a statement to LE.
MOO.
