This is an interview with TG's cousin today at the Memorial. She said something about 11:04 sounds like she says "left with my daughter", the kids were in the fort playing hide n go seek, and an hour later she got a call Bella was missing. So where's this fort, outside in the yard, in the house, because I thought they were playing hide n go seek downstairs? If they supposedly left at 11:30 for Walmart, who was playing hide n go seek, just Bella and the 10 yo? That makes no sense, once again, another puzzle.

It turns out TG did
NOT leave her children alone with only JJR downstairs and a sleeping GM upstairs.
We now know (as per the cousin in an interview) at least TG's cousin and the cousin's daughter were also with TG's girls that evening, still at TG's house while TG and RF and whomever else left the house to go to Wal-Mart. It was after when the cousin and her daughter had left the house (and maybe whomever else had already left or maybe no one else was there) and Isabella's sister had taken a bathroom break that JJR kidnapped Isabella.
The cousin and her daughter left TG's house @ 11:04 PM. Less than one hour later the cousin received a phone call (from whom is unknown) informing her that Isabella had gone missing. I'm guessing they also asked the cousin, "Do you have Isabella?" (speculation).
This mother lost her child at the hands of a long-time family friend. A family friend who had known Isabella all her life. Eight years. Something unexpectedly snapped in that freak. Isabella was murdered. And a mother is grieving.
Isabella, by
ALL accounts, was a happy, fun-loving, generous child. Everybody loved Isabella, including her grieving mother. And guess who had raised Isabella to be the child she had become? Tania Grogan.
Yes, it is not all about TG. It is about Isabella. Well, Isabella is passed, and TG is less one beautiful child. And her pain is real. Her shock is real. See my earlier post regarding TG and 'self-pity'. It still applies.
Of course, TG should have not have opened her home to JJR. But, given JJR was a long-time family friend, a friend for at least eight years. Isabella's entire lifetime. A friend who had babysat TG's children without reported incident. A long-time family friend who was just out of rehab and needed a place to couch surf. Yes, the safety of her children should have taken priority, and maybe in her eyes that was the case: at least we know in this instance TG did NOT leave her children alone with JJR. Did TG expect to be home from Wal-Mart before the cousin-and-daughter left the house, never expecting that her own children would be left alone with JJR?
I can not imagine the shock TG felt when she learned who had murdered her child.
JJR is the sick freak, and TG made a tragic mistake that many others could have made given similar circumstances (and some might argue they would NOT have made that mistake because of the circumstances, and with that I would agree).
Accept the truth.
