LE would know from JS whether PB took her laptop with her or not.
It's also possible she snooped the passwords or DB snooped the passwords and gave them to PB to use....... It could be MJ was livid to see PB with his FB open on her laptop.
My 18 yr old daughter and her friends are mega-FB sleuths. Whenever any of them begin 'talking' [ as they call it] to a new potential boyfriend, the first thing they do is get together and cyber sleuth him. They follow trails from his friends to other accounts. But one of the main ways they get info is to friend request the guys ex girlfriends. That way they get 'messaged' when the ex puts up new pictures of parties and events, and usually the new guy is there in the crowd. [ It seems everybody stays friends these days] So they get a good overall view of the guy, and if he is a good person or not by reading the comments and stuff. If he is still good friends with his exes the girls give him major points.
But if the FB is full of drama posted by the ex, then they tend to write him off. I must say I like the fact that they get to run a cyber check on any potential dates this way. You can get to know a lot about someone by perusing their wall. LOL
I have cyber-sleuthed on FB as well, looking for pics of my dad with his GF's family (my parents are still married/going through divorce). Neither my dad or his GF have FB, but her family members do. You are so right, katydid - it's quite easy to find pictures, IF you're adept at all the connections. I am not friends with any of the people who have pics, but I know how to find them, kwim?
And I think this may be what PB could do that DB couldn't. But she should have waited until she was home with PB to do it together and not when PB was alone with MJ...
I completely agree. DB should never have gotten her little sister caught up in the middle of this thing, especially while she was alone and defenseless in the apartment. PB was sheltered and kind of innocent. I don't think she understood the situation entirely. I am not sure she understood the intensity of this 10 year relationship which was hanging by a thread.
OT, kind of.
Many parents say that they do not want their kids to have FB or Myspace or other social networks. I disagree. It is important that the kid is mature enough of course. I think 13 should be the earliest.
However both of my kids did a lot of 'pre-screening' of potential friends and relationships through the use of FB and IM's and messaging. If a boy expressed interest in my daughter, we could both look at his group of friends, and his hobbies, and his comments, and see any red flags, before hand.I think there is a lot of positive things about it. But of course she ONLY accepted friend requests from people she KNEW in real life.
The DANGER comes when kids do not have enough REAL LIFE friends, and they have dreams and unrealistic fantasies of meeting some hot date on the web. And then they are very vulnerable and they need to be watched closely.
From the above CNN transcript link:
Her half-sister said she told her to get on Facebook because she wanted to look up this ex-boyfriend so Phylicia could see this other woman that she thought that he was dating. She also told Phylicia that the ex- boyfriend had sent her a text that day talking about, couldn`t we maybe get together?
She said that was the last time she talked to Phylicia. But the ex- boyfriend was at the apartment during that time washing clothes. He says Phylicia went to sleep around 1:30, which is sort of strange because another sister was going to pick her up a little bit after that for them to do some errands.
The road A.G. referred to is Eberle Rd. The transcript just couldn't pick it up. No new location, just the same old place. LE is frustrated by people calling in sitings of PB at bars, stores, and the like, throughout Bmore. They want them to concentrate on Eberle, on the 28th, especially after 11:30.

I had a thought last night. What if, when MJ "reacted" to the incident, he took PB's phone and smashed it, and slapped her hard enough to knock her out? That would explain the lack of cell phone response, and explain why the phone has not been found. If it was smashed and then disposed of by MJ? I can see that kind of rage reaction.
I also wanted to say, in response to belimom and Falconi's comments about the tone and nature of this forum thread for PB. I believe it is a testament to PB, who she is, her nature. Both JS and BB, in Peas interviews 1 and 2, characterized PB as someone who does not like conflict, is a peace maker, and tires to help everyone get along. So it seems fitting that we would do the same, keeping her flame lit until she can pick it up again. Yes, I am hopeful. I had a dream last night she came running into a fast food restaurant, dazed and confused and much thinner, but alive.
BTW, welcome Falconi! Glad to have you aboard.
Do any of these people LE is looking at have any way they could be "holding" Phylicia someplace, alive? I think that is unlikely and I can't think of a reason to do so either.
Phylicia's best chance to be found alive is probably if someone else entirely took her, and decided to "keep" her. The dozen, or half dozen people LE are investigating probably have had the least amount of "privacy" this past month and would have to be pretty bold to be going back and forth to a spot where Phylicia might be.
I really don't expect a happy outcome for Phylicia, too much time has gone by for one of these folks to have pulled this off and still have her safe, and I do think LE is looking at the right group of people. Of course I hope I am wrong.
