Agree. Thank God I've never been in either of their (IM or MB) positions. It seems to me one can't do or say the right thing no matter what. So if I ever where to be in a similar position, I'd just cling to the fact that I knew I told the truth (because I would have) and wait.
Regarding IM, people were suspicious and upset she didn't address the case on her website the day after Erin's case became public. Now that she's talking, the information she's giving out is just upsetting/confusing people more. I can't always tell how the questions were asked, what's been clipped, and don't have enough background information to judge if what IM says is true (like when she says she didn't know Erin in a personal way). I know I've worked in places where many people came and went and even though I knew them, I didn't KNOW them.
Unless it turns out the ranch owners had something to do with the reason Erin went missing, it is difficult to determine if there's nefarious reasons why IM is stating the things she has to news sources on different days. She may not recall the events clearly surrounding the Lees and the Corwins and should refrain from offering details imo. I doubt these young people were the center of IM's life before July 4.
I'm curious about the script people would write, according to them, of what IM should be saying to the media under the circumstances? That C and N are terrible people and she always thought that there was a chance they could be killers and she's sure they are guilty? Really?
Those of us who were in the dark about horse rescue ranches, now have to cast suspicion on all horse rescue ranch efforts of every person who extends themselves in this type of work. I feel more for the honest ones today. I'm sorry to hear the claims of dishonesty but, lacking info about legal charges and convictions, the opinions shared are good for public awareness but not sure if the discussion is a fair one on Erin's case threads.
For whatever reason, there seems to be tremendous animosity towards IM. :thinking:
