surely not...that would be infruriating
she is equally as evil because she did know about these angels deaths and did what she did
no excuses IMO...we have all had to deal with tragedy in our lives...and yes I know very well the trauma of losing a child ....it does not provide an excuse for what she has alledgedly done....she could have spoken out
and IMO I think she always knew what DH was all about
Sorry all, tl/dr again :sorry::ziplip:
I agree that all of this is totally possible, but to be completely fair, there are any number of other possibilities here too & as some have suggested in the thread already (with entirely credible scenarios) it
IS possible she didn't know they were dead. With her time away in hospital in late 2008 & presumably later on for rehab/follow-up appts etc she may have had no idea Karlie hadn't just left voluntarily to apply for work in an isolated mining community & then come back later while HP was again away to pick up Khandalyce. Being treated with strong opiates on top of all that grief would've left her oblivious, unsuspecting & very easily manipulated.
It's entirely possible that HE had complete control of Karlie's ph just as he seems to have had control of her ATM cards. HP could've been the target of some of those "proof of life" texts & an ABN indicating work in the mining industry could've been "accidentally" found online & shown to her as a further "update" on Karlie's new life. All of the above could also be used as a means of convincing HP that Karlie herself was requesting her help with a C'link interview/bank acct/issue that she couldn't attend to personally due to work & distance. Maybe she even got texts from "Karlie" pleading with her to please contact her family for her because she just couldn't deal with it herself yet - presumably, if they were close enough for HP to take Khandalyce out with her own kids, she might also have been privy to the issues that prompted Karlie to leave Alice.
I admit I thought it looked really bad at first, but the longer this drags out with no arrest + the bags of documents HP was seen to take to the police station (medical records, proving she was away from home for appts at critical points in the timeline? Mail to Karlie that had been redirected c/o one of DH/HP's shared addresses?), well, it does make some of the "innocent participant" scenarios sound less
unlikely.
I think holding the hate back for a little longer could prevent a world of hurt for everyone. It doesn't feel good when you discover you've been fooled into hating on a victim by a manipulative perp who hoped you'd do exactly that. IF initial assumptions turn out to be correct, we'll have all the time in the world to express disgust later. The worst possible scenario in this particular situation is that someone who was fooled by DH just like Karlie's family & is now trying her best to help, ends up seriously victimised herself because someone gets all revved up on the tabloid-style media coverage & decides to speed things up with some street justice - & it
is a possibility now because our "responsible" media have camped outside AND published pictures of the home she's been released to - a home where her 2 children also live.
Her name was in the top 10 trending list Australia-wide for hours last night on twitter. As far as I'm aware DH's never was. There's a level of interest/emotion in this case that I haven't seen since the 80's (Anita Cobby, Ebony Simpson, Sian Kingi come to mind). It's a long time since we've seen mobs swinging nooses at bullwagons outside court, but public feeling on this case feels like a brewing storm lately - & as always, the worst of it seems to go towards the females (not a reference to the posts of anyone here, but to the general tone on soc media/news sites).
Anyway, I'm a big proponent of the whole "when you hear hoofbeats" thing but I think in this case, when it comes to possible explanations for HP's actions, there aren't really any zebras, just a big field of different horses (with the exception of someone impersonating HP impersonating Karlie. That one has a distinct zebra feel to it - Possible? maybe. Probable? No).
