There's something wrong with her but that doesn't mean that he's completely innocent. I don't get the polarized way of looking at things in cases like this.
Please understand me, if there was anything at all that pointed to him having a part in the disappearance, I would entertain it. For sure. But the most I have heard from people who question him is that they feel creeped out by him, he speaks too softly, he rubs them the wrong way, etc. Give me one, tiny clue that Solomon had one darn thing to do with the disappearance of Sky, I'd love to discuss it.
On the other hand, every single thing points to the mom and all the stuff we have sleuthed and that she has done since Sky went missing supports Solomon's allegations that: "...one day, if she is believed, Julia is going to hurt herself and possibly the children" among other allegations.
People can tell me they have a gut feeling about him etc., Well, I have a gut feeling. As a family law attorney, I recognize the work, in Solomon's declaration, of an attorney who has a high caseload but who puts his heart and soul into one case with special passion and care because he knows this client is telling the truth and he can do some real good here.
But casting all of our gut feelings aside, the actual facts of this case, that have been released or discovered, point to one person and one person alone: Julia. Unless one can point me to some facts that show Solomon could have been anyway connected to Sky's disappearance, I start to wonder if the same reason the court tended to believe Julia over Solomon is the same reason he is thought to be involved in a crime he has not been shown to have anything to do with: That he's a man, and he's of east Indian extraction, who has been accused by a cute blonde woman of domestic violence and child abuse.
Had this child disappeared in his care, or had there been any connection of him, whatsoever, to Sky's disappearance, I might not be far away from that sentiment myself. But there hasn't been, IMO. Again, so far,
everything that has come out, has reinforced his story, and refuted hers. Not the least of which was her decision to request that M be placed in the custody of the domestic abusing dad, who bruised her and Sky, molested M and who she now claims is responsible for his disappearance (if those e-mails are from her), rather than in foster care. How does that make any bit of sense unless she was lying?
Such a shame. I know this might sound insane but I can almost forgive leaving a sleeping newborn in a car for an hour over leaving two toddlers home alone for 11 hours. I simply do not believe that she left them home alone. Her OCD would have precluded this.
I don't believe it either. Her OCD appeared to be focused on the home. No way in heck do I believe she would risk leaving two small children, drugged or not, alone in her home, to possibly make a mess.
Yes but didn't SM say that part of her OCD was not letting anyone in her home?
I didn't read that. I read that it was not having food in the house and eventually, not allowing anyone to use the toilet.
Which of what you were thinking? You're being so cryptic!
On another note, I wonder where her church fellowship is at this time? on Christianmingle she stated that she goes to church weekly. (which may or may not be true) But I hope that LE has passed out questionnaires at the church with pictures of all three of them... to ask if anyone has seen JB at church in past months, and if they did, was she with 0, 1 or 2 kids. When you are a regular at church, seems you would totally notice these things..especially two such insanely adorable kids! Anyone feel like passing out fliers at her church?
And yet another topic, if she borrowed the car ~10 days before the 6th, does this narrow a window of time she disappeared him? I don't know if anyone has a timeline put together, but we can start with random factoids...and add in any known court dates/motions/
Wed, October 19: Airing of L&O SVU "Missing Pieces"
Sun, October 23: Last sighting of Sky by JB neighbor
Thu, October 27: ~Borrowed car from brother
Tue, November 1: 11.5 hr mediation, lasting into early morning hour of 11/2
Thu, November 3: JB atty > SM atty notice /JB's desire to renig on PP agreement.
Sun, November 6: Sky goes missing.
When was the trial date set for?
I know this is pretty bare bones, but does anyone have anything to add?
Good timeline. I'm sorry if I sounded cryptic. I've commented so much on this case I forget I'm not having a conversation with myself!!!
So based on his revelations that she suffers from debilitating and progressive OCD, and that his first, main focus was to get her help and keep the family together, I had this picture of him arguing with her in the car about leaving Sky in it rather than risking taking him out and having him wake up and add infant wailing to the stress of someone with OCD having to enter a filthy, crowded store. I also have this picture of him as a man who did not know much about child rearing and who may not be the brightest in the world, who, when faced with an emphatic, easily riled wife, let her have her way.
But that was prejudice on my part. I was speculating based on his declaration and her actions in the wake of Sky's disappearance. His comments on the radio show now tend to confirm my suspicions about how things might have been.
I want to add that this is a apparently a seriously Christian family, from an evangelical tradition that frowns on divorce and tends to teach that prayer and faith can cure anything. He was probably very reluctant, if so, to do anything that would set her off, and cause her to possibly split, with the kids or without. Divorce is often seen as a real failure of faith in such religious traditions. The picture gets clearer to me with every bit of info we get.
