Something else has bothered me very much from the beginning: If dad knew enough to know that Isabel's window was closed the night before when he last checked in on her, then how come he didn't notice that the window was ajar and the screen out and the blinds pushed aside when he first went to get her up for her game?
This is pretty basic: Dad goes to get Isabel, she isn't in her room. But AS, the neighbor, said that when she went outside after SC and the uncle came to her door, she saw Isa's window "wide open" and could see inside. She was also asked if she had ever seen that window open before and she said "no."
How could Sergio miss that? How could anyone miss that? He said his son discovered that the wndow was open and the screen was out.
Doesn't make sense.
Hiya Lark:seeya: In reading your post it brought a few things to mind so am pretty much using your post as jumping off point beginning with the issue you above posted.. This of course is moo and what I thought could possibly make better sense of what it is you're questioning about Sergio missing the glaring obvious.. I believe that when Sergio entered Isa's room and saw that she was not there that quite likely(I know if it were me) I would not automatically jump straight to her being gone from the home.. What I mean is you see your child isn't in their bed.. Well IMO you first assume that the child has already gotten up and is elsewhere in the home and that easily could and generally does happen in my household while say I was in the bathroom or wherever and my child has already gotten up and is another part of the home.. I believe this is likely what Sergio, too assumed.. Therefor he's not immediately going to freak and start ripping up beds and tearing out closets looking for her and certainly isn't going to believe that she's gone out her window(and yes I'm getting to the obvious open window).. I believe that Sergio simply saw that Isa wasn't in her bed and from there left her room to go look elsewhere in the home for where she was..
Now back to the open window.. Just as you brought up , Lark, we have AS saying that AFTER THE UNCLE HAD KNOCKED ON HER DOOR SHE LEARNED ISA WAS MISSING.. It's at that point that AS goes and looks through her window and sees that Isa's window is open, blinds and curtains pushed to the side and a wide open, clear view directly into Isa's bedroom.. My point for CAPS ABOVE IS FOR EMPHASIS OF WHEN IT WAS THAT A.S. LOOKED THRU ISA's WINDOW.. IT WAS AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY THE UNCLE.. My point being that IMO it is very very likely that THE WINDOW WAS NOT IN THIS WIDE OPEN VIEW WHEN SERGIO OR THE SON ENTERED ISA's room.. I believe that AFTER SERGIO ENTERED HER ROOM, SAW HER NOT IN BED AND LEFT TO GO OUT THRU THE HOUSE TO FIND WHERE SHE WAS.. That at the point of he and the two boys realizing she wasnt in any other part of the home and NOW THEY ARE SEARCHING THE HOME MORE THOROUGHLY.. Therefor the oldest son enters back into Isa's room.. He now very likely was looking under the bed, in the closet, and IMO I believe that the window was open BUT THAT THE BLINDS AND CURTAINS WERE JUST HANGING IN FRONT OF THE OPEN WINDOW SO THAT AT FIRST GLANCE ONE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY REALIZE THE WINDOW BEHIND THE BLINDS WAS ACTUALLY OPEN.. (if any doubt this is possibe I ask that you raise open a window of your home and leave your blinds and curtains hanging down in their normal position.. Without there being present a windy, draft flowing thru you WOULD NOT immediately know that behind that curtain and blinds the window was actually open)..
I believe that due to the fact that when Sergio entered Isa's room and saw she was not in bed that AT THAT TIME HE WAS NOT IN A MODE OF PANIC YET.. But rather just naturally assumed she was elsewhere In the home.. With the blinds and curtains covering the fact that window was actually even open.. IMO he was likely in there only a matter of seconds and once seeing she wasn't there he leaves the room and easily and IMO with very good reason did not immediately notice the window..
As I said at the point that worry began to set in when none of the 3 of them could find Isa In the home you have the oldest son re-enter Isa's room.. Definitely IMO in a totally different frame of mind as well as definitely more thoroughly searching through her bedroom which it is at that time that the oldest son most likely moved aside the blinds and curtains, he immediately realizes the screen is not present, and IMO at that point quite likely leaned thru the window and looked out at which time he sees the screen outside on the ground..MOO is that at this point real fear is setting in(as IMO we can hear in the sons voice on 911 call).. He realizes something BAD has now happened and I'd say he calls dad into Isa's room and at that point Sergio too likely examined and looked out of the window as well.. IMO at this point is when the older son left out of the home to begin searching thru the neighborhood.. As well as ATLEAST one other family member going door to door(uncle knocks on AS door)..And as we know Sergio summons Becky home and calls 911..
So, you see in looking at the chain of events it is apparent that AS was notified of Isa missing and THEN SHE GOES AND LOOKS AND SEES ISA's BEDROOM WINDOW WIDE OPEN WITH BLINDS AND CURTAINS PUSHED ASIDE.. her view of the window is obviously AFTER THE SON HAS MOVED ASIDE THE BLINDS AND CURTAINS THUS LEAVING THE CLEAR VIEW INTO ISA's BEDROOM FOR A.S. TO SEE.. I do not believe it was this way when the son discovered it initially.. I believe that it is due to his and likely Sergio as well.. Their having cleared to the side the blinds and curtains and leaned out and over to see the screen and such.. That it is that which had the window in the wide open view that AS would several minutes later be able to look thru to see inside Isa's room..
Hope that was explained well enough to make sense as I am often unable to successfully relay what I can see crystal clear in my minds eye.. But IMO I do believe that it was the events similar to what I describe that help explain and IMO make logical sense of why Sergio did not immediately know that the window was open.. Jmo,tho..
