I was kind of creeped out at two cases that recently caused me to immediately think of Shawn & Billie & Hailey. I have to wonder if LE's theory isn't something along these lines. That Hailey was in the way... causing too much interference in the relationship?
We've seen Mom's murdering kids because the boyfriend didn't like them. We don't usually see it with older kids.
Karissa reminded me, it has happened... The mother in this case reminds me of Billie. She did make a plea for her daughter's return. The boyfriend had NO involvement but was initially suspected. Karissa had a Dad and stepmother who loved her that she could go back to live with again.
When I re-read this I suddenly got this sick feeling that this could be exactly what happened to Hailey. I actually had a nightmare about it.

Boudreau told the undercover operator that she and Macumber were having issues, and that
Macumber had gave her an ultimatum to pick either him or Karissa.
For several days she thought about it before taking the life of her daughter.
..................
“Boudreau said she ‘did what she had to do,’” said Scovil.
...................
Boudreau then returned to the car, put the groceries in the trunk, grabbing a piece of beige twine and putting it in her pocket.
...................
“Boudreau said she couldn’t let her go back and tell people what a horrible mom she was.”
Both mother and daughter got out of the car into the dark, snowy night. Boudreau went to grab her daughter but it was slippery so she tackled her backwards to the ground, pinning Karissa down with her knees on her chest. With her hands underneath her Karissa couldn’t move.
" 'Mommy don’t,’ was the only thing Karissa said,” said Scovil.
Face to face with her daughter, Boudreau took the twine and strangled Karissa until she felt her life drain away.

My first thought with this was "That is how a mother reacts when her boyfriend is the suspect in her daughter's disappearance or murder." I know that the situation is totally different. But even if Hailey was found in Shawn's basement tomorrow... I have a hard time believing this would be the reaction from Billie.

Tiffany’s parents, Larry Brown and Deb Neeley convey their utter disgust for Sam Littleton.. Deb’s longtime boyfriend and prime suspect in Tiffany’s murder.
"It’s just unreal said Larry Brown, Tiffany's dad.
"Everybody knows she’s my baby, daddy’s girl.”
"He had us all fooled, all fooled," said Neeley.
"He let us worry for 5 days and we hunted and we searched, we never gave up on her."
"He laid down beside me for 5 nights, and he knew it," Neeley said.
"God help him. They better catch him before we do."
