Then, with what we know from the rewind, what are we to think, Etilema? Can you make any sense of how we can believe both? I've been trying to correlate the two and have been unsuccessful for the last couple of days. (I ruminate like a cow, I guess.)
No, I don't understand it at all, so I am left to assume here are chunks of information we don't have that would make it all make sense. For instance:
Was she meeting the friend (whose house she called), or a group of friends (her mom talked about a big bunch of kids who normally walk together)?
Was she to meet the one friend at the park or at his house? And then were they going to walk together to the park to meet the other friends?
Did the friend's father drive him to the park to wait? If so, why? If so, why not go ahead and drive them to school together, instead of having them walk?
Did the friend and his father wait until after the group of kids had already left the park, and that's why the dad drove him instead of having him walk? If so, wouldn't that lead him to wonder all the more where Jessica might be or how she would get to school (since she obviously hadn't gone with the other kids)?
If not, why not let the son walk with that group instead of driving him?
What about the friend's older brother? Did he walk?
Could it simply be that the father, in his rush to get out of the house, forgot about the call from Jessica, so didn't mention it to his son and just drove him to school? (And he now feels so terrible about it that he says they waited.)
If not, how could the son not remember the whole deal with the phone call, the waiting (Where is she? Is she even going to show up?) that morning, when his friend wasn't in school that day and he later found out she was missing?
Please be clear--I am not in any way suggesting the father was involved in this horrible crime. Only saying we are missing lots of detail that would help us understand this, and it is apparently the way LE wants it at this point, for whatever reason.
