The Reddit post attributed to her suggests it was hard for her that her father rapidly remarried, but she quickly made the best of it.It’s odd that she was talking to her father with what seems like a nonchalant tone regarding Lori. Why would she not have any reservation for her fathers marriage to LV shortly after her mothers death? That’s weird.
One way Emma handled it was to believe that her father missed her mother terribly and still talked of her a lot. To Emma, the marriage was between two grieving widows.
Shortly before the scene caught on LE cameras and played in court yesterday, she had been speaking to Lori in jail and participating in gathering support for Lori.
It was shocking to hear Emma mention Colby to her father so casually and disparagingly. IIRC, Colby was using social media around that time- maybe a bit earlier- to beg his mother to produce his siblings. I think it was his only way to attempt to reach her.
What could Emma, Lori and Chad all been saying about Colby???? I guess if Emma asked why they didn't just tell her new step-brother where his - rather THEIR - siblings were, Lori or Chad would have to say disparaging things to deflect the question. What did the murderers say? "He's low income and wants their fat social security that your parents are jetting around on."
Emma apparently never pressed for details on JJ and Tylee. When JJ's body was found, she went to pieces because her father was going to jail (although nobody had told her this; her father, whom likewise nobody had told was going to jail, confirmed this assumption.) Emma apparently did not need anybody to explain why police thought, if they found one body they would find another. In short, Emma knew on some level the kids were dead. And her "problem" with that was the incarceration of her father.
It's really sad. The other thing that strikes me is the sincere crying for her father going to jail, and brave resolve to take over the family finances and look after her little brother, in contrast to her fake crying on a TV news show about the death of her new step siblings and her cowardly resignation to her fathers "emotional affair."
