I find it disturbing that most of the key pieces of the interview aren't on tape for us to see JC use her own words. LE isn't shown either making the comment on mom & BR being suspects? The reporter also says that "no one has been ruled out" in the video, yet it's not in the article.
There's no discussion of how long Cassie was on medication-a dr obviously diagnosed her-what mental illness did they say she had? Yes teens are moody, but teens can also have mental illnesses and have a harder time than others. This may be why Cassie wasn't extremely social like you see on other teens FB pages, why she wasn't still in school, etc This may be JCs way to explain why she let Cassie do the things she did-drop out of school, sleep over at guy friends houses, etc
Or hinting at the walk-"if her mood swings were bad, she'd go for a walk" WHAT happened that day? Was something said to her & she decided to go for a walk? That could point to if it was a planned moment or random.
I had a cousin at Cassie's age that had anxiety so bad she couldn't leave home-over 13mths in the house, refused to leave. This was back before social media, she's sit inside and watch tv all day.
All assumptions here but honestly this could be seen as her "victim blaming" if you read the article and don't try to look any further, but you could also view it as her say "here these are all the pieces I have & I don't know what to do-help me, just find her, I don't care what you know about us or what I have to tell you."
I myself don't think anyone looks innocent and I'd like to hear JC tell us more about BRs relationship with Cassie & what went on that day but for now I'm not writing her off. Her way of getting her frustrates me yes, but she doing something, she's getting Cassie out there again and that is exactly what we need right now.
