Sorry my thought process got interrupted during my last post, but maybe LB spoke with her dad prior to her disapperarance and let him know how upset she was over the divorce, not seeing him for a year, and her brothers issues and since SB knew he was about to be deployed, maybe staged her disappearance somehow so he wouldn't have to go back and just maybe MB suspects SB of kidnapping her. MB has always said that she knows that her daughter is alive and will come home and the last article that I read even said that she bought her school supplies. Maybe this is why she hasn't shown any emotion because come on it has been also two months now. Maybe LE needs to look in this direction if they haven't done so already. I know that I am just grasping at straws here but there has been other cases where one parent will kidnap their children from the other parent and then runs and hides. I just hope and pray that they find little LB alive and she does get to come home where she belongs! Just my thoughts.
Thelma, you bring up some points of interest to me as I have above indicated. First of all, I'd like to share my distress at even beginning to suggest that the father is in any way involved in some sort of suppression of information relative to LB's disappearance. However,
distress is emotional and shouldn't be a part of any investigation since past crimes have clearly indicated that "family" is usually the first place where the smoke rises and the answers are discovered.
I will post your comments above and then provide my own thoughts, hope you don't mind:
You said: maybe LB spoke with her dad prior to her disapperarance and let him know how upset she was over the divorce, not seeing him for a year, and her brothers issues and since SB knew he was about to be deployed, maybe staged her disappearance.
My response: that may provide an answer to why MB's friend needed to send him off a ticket to get to McCleary for him to even arrive and participate in the search. Consideration: if he knew already that she was safe he wouldn't really have an emotional need to go to McCleary and it would also provide possible answers for his complete silence since then.
You said: MB has always said that she knows that her daughter is alive and will come home and the last article that I read even said that she bought her school supplies.
My response: I don't see a problem with MB seeming to not show emotion because all of us deal with emotion in different ways and the idea that she bought school supplies may well just be her way of dealing with her loss and the waiting at the moment. This still does not explain the seeming complete lack of effort on the part of dad to help find his daughter. He holds some HUGE cards in the area of supplying search and rescue help and assistance if he used the media to appeal, as he did at the end of June, when every search effort went in to high gear, partly because he was going to be deployed. Why is he not using that media now?
You said: I am just grasping at straws here but there has been other cases where one parent will kidnap their children from the other parent and then runs and hides.
My response: EXACTLY!!
I agree with you that the "family" ingredient has not yet been exhaustively investigated. And, if it actually has, then let the media post this.
