I agree that daughters did not seem to know much about Bob's more recent living patterns - especially after Georgia died. They did seem to make great efforts to keep themselves appraised in areas where they had a self-interest though; i.e, his finances and (on JuM's part) where the keys to safes and safe deposit boxes where kept, and what valuables were in the home. In my opinion, JuM probably knew exactly where Bob kept all his keys, and exactly what they looked like, right down to the key rings.
Good points, all.
Then the question is when she acquired that knowledge. If she acquired it before Bob disappeared, that's innocent enough.
However, I have often thought that the family had access to the house for about 2 days before Fontelle returned. But in reading that memorabilia list, I have always suspected that she compiled it while doing a walk-through of the house.
I base this on personal experience in helping my parents list the contents of their Airstream after it was totalled in a crash. It was insured for the replacement value of the trailer and contents, so the insurance company wanted a complete list of contents. For the high ticket items, like my dad's Hasselblad camera, they wanted proof in the form of a receipt or registration form.
For the lower cost items like clothes, they wanted a list but did not require a receipt or registration, just a description of each item. It wasn't enough to say, for instance, "eight cotton polo-type shirts." It had to specify the colour of each shirt and the manufacturer if it were a designer labelled item.
Now, my parents had packed that trailer themselves and they knew where everything was. But it was difficult to recall exactly how much of everything they'd taken in the amount of detail required.
I've had a few friends who have gone through house fires and had the same problem afterwards. You might know, for instance, that your spouse has some inordinate number of band T-shirts from different concerts but still have difficulty in coming up with an exact number and list of band names.
That list seems to me to be mighty detailed for someone who didn't live in the house and had undergone a recent 6 month period of no contact.
Again, in my personal experience, people who have a missing family member tend to be reluctant to entertain the possibility that person is dead, particularly if the person was an adult at the time of disappearance. Families hang onto the thinnest shreds of possible reasons for why their loved one hasn't contacted them.
The day after Bob disappeared seems to me to be a very short period of time for a family member to entertain the possibility he was dead. Particularly since the PPD had looked through the house the night before and not found anything that pointed directly to an attack.
So I would see it as curious if JuM did indeed do a walk-through of Bob's house to make her memorabilia list the day after he disappeared.
