I wonder what the author of the funeral piece was doing there at the funeral - her husband didn't know who the parents even were. Like, a spectator sport. I've never attended a funeral for someone I didn't personally know. And then I certainly wouldn't have written my opinion of the family for public viewing - anonymously, by the way. The author is most certainly willing to heap dung on a grieving mom, but really, don't post my name or ID, k?
How do people act when they are vilified in their time of great grief? I don't know. I'm certainly looking forward to an upcoming movie/documentary done by Clint Eastwood chronicling Richard Jewel's horrific journey after being falsely accused of being the olympic bomber. He just sat around looking shell-shocked. He just sat there, crumpled, when the feds came in and searched his apartment. Honestly, what does a parent DO in a situation where they are grieving the loss of their child and their community has so viciously turned against them?
(In writing this, I'm musing about the possibility that they truly didn't know what happened to him, not the scenario where they did know and put him in the tank. I'm puzzling in a huge way that LE would allow them all that freedom if they led the county and state on a 5 day wild goose chase for their murdered and hidden child. Personally, I've never seen LE treat parents with compassion after that. Whatever they did, IMHO, that has led to charges was known the first day when the baby was removed. I have to think there's a very strong possibility that neglect and parental drug use are what led to their charges. When they removed the baby, they most certainly didn't believe Noah had been killed and hidden. Most certainly. So the charges involving baby Abigail have nothing to do with murdering a child and hiding it).
