GUILTY AR - Malik Drummond, 2, Searcy, 23 Nov 2014 - #1

[Cubby]

I've seen a few speculations that step-mom was drawing a bath for the TWINS, but the msm articles say she was the one in the bathtub.

Not to mention, who bathes a 2 yr old *before* dinner, unless they were exceptionally dirty that evening (had been outside in the mud or something)? Two year olds are masters at making a mess at dinner on themselves and pretty much everything else. I always bathed my toddlers *after* dinner & before bed time.

If an accident occurred it would really easy for an adult to say they were taking a bath, rather than saying the bath was drawn for the kids. Perhaps she was drawing the bath before dinner but planned on bathing them after dinner. Do it before dinner to save time?

Maybe mom was supposed to pick them up later so she was time pressed to have them fed and bathed before bio mom was supposed to pick them up?

Does the house have a basement? tia

Fairly certain there is no basement. Almost no homes there have basement.

if allowed here, can someone clear up my confusion as to how many kids do each of these three adults have and where are they all?? No other ones present than Malik's twin the night he went missing, right? What is dad's first name? Thanks in advance. I am so confused.

She's been named.

Her name is Lesley Marcotte.

Although her name wasn't used in the write-up, the reporter names her in the video. The video counts down while it plays for me and it's at the 1:11 mark.

the reporter also says that the girlfriend failed/didn't pass a couple of the questions on the poly.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Also she said " we " as if this is a jointly agreed upon idea. She did not say " I " think......

I was under the impression that she was referring to her mother and herself... As her mother was standing with her in the interview...

But.... That was just my POV...

JMO...

Are dad and step mom married? Why would they be calling a girl friend step mom?

No, it was in a report earlier that they aren't married.
The girlfriend had stated she sees/considers herself their stepmom. (<--not verbatim, but that was the gist of it)

Ah, I don't watch the interviews, almost ever. I only read. Thanks for that.

also from the video/article

The dogs needed rest for Thanksgiving, but police plan to get them back to work Friday.

I don't usually watch the video either (prefer to "read") but I did find the interview with mom interesting. She looks so young and unsure. Really seemed to
be trying to not break down and cry.

Sometimes I forget what's okay and what's not so... here we go:

Dad: Jeff Clifton
Biomom: Tanya Drummond
Dad's current GF referred to as the step mom: Lesley Marcotte

I know for a fact all of this info has been mentioned in msm articles although I don't have the links handy.

This part may not be okay but according to biomom's FB she has 3 kids. Although there are exactly ZERO pics of the 3rd kid. Only pics of the twins. We know the twins are Jeff Clifton's children.
According to dad's girlfriend's FB, she has 6 kids. Not a clue on the planet where they all are, or who the father(s) are. Oddly enough though, on one of the gf's FB pages (she has 3) the cover pic is of the twins and one other girl maybe a year older)
Dad, JC, had an older son who (according to his father's interview in a msm article) passed almost 10 yrs ago in a car accident.

From what I've seen on social media, dad is in his mid 40's and a former HS and college basketball superstar, biomom is in her mid 20's and current GF is also in her mid 20's.

I hope that helps, and if any of it is a TOS no-no, please remove. Just trying really hard to keep this all straight.

I saw the same interview. Body language definitely indicated they were in agreement with one another as they'd look at each other and nod their heads in agreement.

Hey score! Thanks for joining us, good to see you. :seeya:
I haven't seen any videos of the dad and stepmom/gf.
I have no idea what the custody arrangement is.

But I happened to watch this one.....

(I usually don't watch the videos either. It drives me crazy how so many pages have the videos geared to automatically start playing as soon as you click on the link!)

Slightly O/t, yesterday they searched a storm drain for Malik. Did you guys see that a woman dumped her baby in a drain in Sydney? ( http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?263061-Australia-Newborn-found-in-drain-Sydney )
The baby was there for 5 days before it was found. Some bicyclists heard the baby crying...
