To seriously entertain FFC insisting she wanted the bios involved in the children's lives means asking questions as to what the evidence was. I can't find any. However, I can point to evidence in the opposite direction: 1) She chose not to share their identities with the bios. Their choice, sure. But that choice carries obvious implications. If it's the welfare of the foster children that is priority #1 and not procuring children, then why on earth would one not get to know the bio mother to fully understand what it is she brings to the table. The fosters weren't interested. And, 2) they had already begun exploring adoption options.
As far as "fostering," they were ticking boxes. It's not even a cynical opinion. It's self-evident. They wanted those kids. BM messed up. She went and got together with the BF. As a consequence, she lost WT. One strike and she was out. It didn't even matter that she learned her lesson after that and stayed away from the BF to keep her other two children.
It has been my observation that those comments have been pretty sparse.
The overall consensus from these threads--at least what I'm getting personally--is that it was an accidental death covered up. If we want to apply Occam's Razor, based on the timeline: WT had a fatal fall from the verandah without the knowledge of Nanna or sister. FFC discovered his body after wondering where he went, remained collected, perhaps placed him in Nanna's car boot and deliberated, ultimately deciding to conceal his body after considering her options. Motives include protecting her parental rights over foster daughter, her marriage, her reputation, her lifestyle, everything she had so carefully designed and worked for in her life. What are the other possibilities?
A 75-year-old man decides to molest a boy (whom he hasn't even groomed) and kills him accidentally before his wife has even left for bingo? Or a 75-year-old man conceals his wife accidentally running over and killing the boy whilst she goes and plays bingo, placing his body in the lantana-infested woods behind their home before his brother arrives 90 minutes later? And the body was never found after a massive search.
Or he's part of paedophile ring and noticed the fosters arriving the night before at 9 PM and called colleagues up, who appeared in two cars early the next morning parked in a counterintuitive fashion, whom no one noticed except the FFC. Btw, they weren't in the car at one point and no one ever saw them either. And no other local children could be playing in the neighbourhood that day at that time except for the possibility of one 3-year-old girl. And, btw, FFC doesn't decide to keep a closer eye on kids knowing these abnormally parked cars are there. Also, btw, WT doesn't scream when it happens, the kidnappers just go "CLUMP" on his shoulders and he's gone.
It seems rather pointless to even bring up the bios when they don't even have Nanna's bloody address, particularly the BM.
Circumstantially, there are elements that look rather poor for the FFC (these imagined twin cars, the imagined green/grey one driven by the guy with the old-timey beer belly; the delayed recollection of those memories; no other eyewitness backing FFC up those recollections; the trip to the riding school which has been left out of multiple interviews; the peculiar timing of MFC's arrival after the disappearance along with FFC never placing a call to him; and add that she was the last to see him alive, along with having strong motives to cover up an accidental death). Circumstantially, IMO there is more here than with Scott Peterson. I don't think if it's all that cynical either if you consider the case of Jonbenet Ramsey--a case of which the coverup was so ornate and strange it makes transporting a death-by-accident via a car boot to somewhere nearby appear even more plausible.
Like, I don't want to believe FFC did this. I'd really like to know if you have any theories and am open to listening to anything that comes as close in plausibility, because I haven't yet heard any as convincing as the FFC covering up an accidental death in an act of self-preservation. And it boggles my mind that the investigators didn't also come to this conclusion when FFC has done very little to establish herself as trustworthy.
