Agreed. It seems JS was just repeating back what SS had told her. And it's probably why she would think Maddie didn't use her cell phone or laptop Sunday night if that's what SS told her. Except there was a 10 or 15 minute gap when MS was dropped off and SS arrived. There is no accounting for that time.
The thing that bothers me is choosing to adopt the narrative of the last person that saw your missing child over divulging everything that you know to police to help find her.
Exactly. This was her on/off boyfriend who was seeing other people. He lived in another city! Why take his word when he wasn’t even in a serious relationship with JS? It’s mind boggling! Plus with the phone resetting and all of the dumb loose ends. I’m sure she had caught him in lies before, he’s not even good at it!
Well, it’s not much better but the lotion in question was found inside a backpack in the room labeled with the #4 (the room JS SENT her daughter to sleep in a bed with SS). Source: page 45 of massive Dropbox doc.
The truth never changes, lies just take on a life of their own. Per LE Madeline is the only victim. I believe that %100. Justice for Madeline. MOO
Ugh. That's all possible.A comment elsewhere today made me wonder about a specific statement JS made. It was a VERY strong declaration that MS didn't even have her laptop and phone, the night of the party.
That kinda sticks out to me all of a sudden, because while everything else could be SS-driven narrative she was just parroting (I don't believe it, but to give other viewpoints visibility I will include that), I get a different feeling about this one. Approximately 6:20-6:35 on video. Here's the interview:(See 6:20-6:35 or so). The exact quote:
“There was no moment that evening from when she got home from the party that she had her phone, that she had the laptop. She went straight to getting ready and went to bed. So I know she didn’t have any conversations with anyone, she didn’t make plans with anyone. I didn’t see any of that.”
I feel like the only way she could know that with certainty is if she had specifically taken them away from MS, since JS wasn't even home when MS got home from the party, and still was not for another couple of hours after that. (Not to mention, if she was having this as a video call, which she clearly must have been, then that must mean they were using SS's phone for that, if what she says is true.) But why would she take those away? I mean, a school laptop? You use it for school work, it wouldn't seem suitable as a punishment to take that away. Plus, taking them away doesn't seem to fit the rest of the picture she is/they are trying to paint about sunshine and unicorns, but of course we know that isn't true.
My premise (that they must have been taken away, for her to be able to make that statement) could be flawed, of course. Thoughts on this?
Icky edit: Or, since we know that MS did have her phone while at the party, was it (and the laptop) taken away from her shortly after arriving home, possibly by SS with JS's blessing? I'm getting punishment vibes, possibly for her not being happy about the party or about him being there or something.
Wait? What? What does that mean exactly? I’m confused. lol
It was in a backpack in his room, rather than having it “lying out”. He’s gross no doubt, and it’s bizarre (IMO) to feel the need to bring masturbation cream on a visit like that, but I don’t think it’s some big red flag.
The post I responded to indicated the lotion found by police was out in the open however, the document by LE which I cited indicated it was actually located inside a backpack in the room, not in the open. A minor detail but important as it shows either: they (whichever one or both JS and SS) made an effort to conceal it before Le arrived with the warrant and possibly that SS was using it in that room.
It IS icky in particular when you see that LE found it in the room with the #4 on the door. The same room which Js SENT her daughter to sleep with the monster.
Thank you, @Mack the Knife !
You are a valued asset @Mack the Knife, thank you!
Page 439 of the massive document I. Dropbox says they (le) foubd 3 prescription medications belonging to [redacted but I think to MS as the entire page details her belongings imo). They were found in the downstairs bedroom which I thought was interesting as why there? Especially if according to Js, Ms never slept in that bedroom? Unless the downstairs bedroom was JS room? Maybe mum kept them in her room?

Weirdly on page 210 the name is redacted, but on page 396 it looks like the same document without the redaction--"3 prescription medication belonging to Madeline Soto (downstairs bed)"
