Wow! I missed that somewhere! Definitely CYA - just like going to the media claiming EJ was trying to "coerse a false confession" out of her. I also find it a bit too coincidental that the S's have a home in TN, which is where JanetM is, which is where there have been a number of tips to.

"JOSTAD: What kind of things were you hoping that police would look at on your computers? What information there would be relevant to the search?
SMITH: Well, OK, in -- from the beginning, in talking to the police, they asked us, you know, did we ever try to help her. And I said, Well, the only way we ever tried to help her was, you know, before we knew she could change her -- whether or not she could change jurisdictions. She was telling us that she was going to run. She was go into hiding, change her Social Security number.
And so we panicked at that point, and we did not want that baby to vanish into thin air for the rest of his life. And so we were grabbing at straws, like the police are right now, trying to figure out how to keep that baby still surfaced, you know? And so we had thought of scenarios, and we talked to a couple of friends and people about the scenarios of -- you know, we have a house in Tennessee, and you know, things like that, that maybe she can go stay there. We can let her stay there. We could help her and all this, and while she`s changing jurisdictions."
