I'm kinda thinking TS said something like "ok, LM won't sign, here's what we do. While you still have custody, you need to change your jurisdiction, so go to Texas. I will get you some support" - BUT you can't ever tell. It won't be kidnapping cuz you still have custody. Now that everything has blown up in their faces and it appears EJ might be facing murder charges and TS could be implicated, TS is probably saying something like - keep your mouth shut or this is going to be really bad for you and there is NO NEED to tell where Gabe is because you are going to do 20 years regardless of whether or not Gabe is recovered.
All speculation on my part of course - but TS is the one that brought up "changing jurisdictions." And for the life of me, I can not understand any attorney that would tell EJ she is going to do 20 years, no matter what. In a family law case, 20 years is almost unheard of and if EJ were to help LE locate Gabe, I don't see any way in he?? she would do much time at all. Maybe required to do 6 months and get some counseling and not be around the baby. However, the longer this goes on, the more severe the consequences.
TS is NOT helping matters and I think, as a POI, she should be forbidden from talking to EJ. I think EJ may still trust her (although that seems to be falling apart, thank goodness) and TS continues to feed EJ nonsense!
All of this is just my opinion - nothing more.
