What if...Eb told Ab Zahra was going into puberty and being broody. He looks into her room where EB had formed blankets to look like Zahra was in the bed. He did say the last time he SAW Zahra out of bed was thursday. She may have told him not to bother her she had a virus and needed to sleep...I know im probley reaching but something deep down makes me believe him...JMO
I can see EB telling AB that she was going through puberty thus accounting for his acceptance of her staying in her room. For many males this is out of their comfort zone and can see EB making these comments to cover for many things. Telling AB that she fell thus the black eye etc.
Not seeing a child from Thursday for individuals that work long hours is not unusual. Often during peak seasons my husband was either out of town for weeks on end, or left early in the morning and arrived well after they were in bed, many families deal with this thus the mother is the main care giver
Maybe AB was sleeping and it was EB that was not sleeping accounting for the AB stating the dogs woke him
If AB is with the fire department it would not be unusual for just one parent to check on a child in this case EB and i would expect that LE did indeed ask for her to be checked on. If my child was 10 years old and woke up to a fire they would come asking what was going on so not unusual to think she could not of slept through it. One could sleep through WW3 the other wakes at the drop of a pin
I would think it to be possible that neither AB or EB saw the note once in LE hands as it now becomes evidence
If LE asked that the child be checked on and EB did and said she is fine, they by now know that the bosses daughter is ok i would not see any reason for LE to pursue it
As for waking the entire neighbourhood we do not know how severe the fire was. I get the impression that there was the potential for it to get out of control but if the fire department responded quickly and it was a relatively contained fire i know i would not be running around knocking on neighbours doors. If it was out of control or moving rapidly then yes i would be raising the alarm. My impression is that this was not an out of control fire from the reports
After the fire was put out i would also understand AB going back to bed nothing unusual there until getting up and going back to work
I do not find it unusual for AB to check the house or surrounding area prior to calling LE. I know i would
I do not see why AB would note a new mattress if it is on the bed covered in sheets. I know my husband does not go and look under the sheets every time he walks into a house to see if there is a new mattress. For that matter he can walk right by something that is new especially coming home late usually after dark and leaving at sunrise. Amazing what you do not see when tired
If EB had done clean up/cover up or if AB had not been in the room or away from the home he probably would not of seen blood/body fluid etc. My husband comes into a mud room changes out of work clothes and in the early am changes back into work clothes in the mud room so as not to wake anyone often without lights on
Interesting that those that saw the abuse said EB did this or did that. I have not seen one report where it says that AB and EB did this or that. That stands out to me. I may of missed some coverage but every person that has spoken that i recall has not said they saw AB abuse her physically her just EB. This does not mean that he did not know or turn a blind eye
Did EB go back to bed after the fire or did she state she would stay up to make sure all was well. We do not know. AB stated that he woke up and went to work. How many husbands go in and check on their children every time they leave for work or arrive home from work late at night?
Everyone responds differently in situations. Considering it was the middle of the day i think my mind would be thinking that maybe they were at a friends or in this case ran away. I know in situations i have been surprised at how calm i was till after the event then my knees buckled, it was like i was on automation dealing with things calmly then falling to pieces afterwards
As for the interview AB gave with LE, i suspect he was given pretty strict guidelines as to what could and could not be said. As for whether or not they are crocodile tears or not i do not know. He strikes me as a person that does not display alot of emotion at the best of times
This is not to say that i do not think of all the things that have been expressed or things i have not thought of myself. Simply saying that some of these things could be easily explained and this is simply MOO Maybe i am trying to make things simplistic out of the incredible
