I still can't imagine why in the world she'd lie about that one fact. It makes no sense to me! I've never been arrested (not saying she has, just noting my experience with this sort of thing), nor written a police report, but even I know you just don't lie on them!!! So why, WHY would she do that??
Sounds to me as though the Sterns know their little boy fairly well -- Mom was outside calling Maddie's name thinking SS may have hidden her in the woods? So, at least kidnapping and keeping hostage; and Dad is busy explaining possible fluids that will show up when the vehicle is processed. Now, that sets my curiosity aflame: wonder just what the vehicle may have been used for and if LE checked all DNA tested every spot found in the car? Might more than one body have been transported?
Would you have a link to her interview in the police car please? I haven't seen or heard that one. Thanks.JS used the term while in the LE vehicle on the ride to operations describing Madeline and school. Q: has she ever complained about school?" A: 'not complained exactly, I know its tough on her.... she's given alot of WORK, she's always behind on WORK'.
what she glaringly leaves out is the 'counseling' Madeline was engaged in during school and subsequent communications with the school counselor. also, she never mentions Madeline was seeing a therapist weekly which she told the counselor at school (my question, truth/a lie?)<---that was in response to JS hearing about disturbing drawings Madeline drew 'expressing feelings' she was unable to articulate. JS also never mentioned asthma or an inhaler. all she focused on was her ADHD as an explanation for all things concerning Madeline.
listening to her audio interviews again in the LE vehicle was extremely disturbing, so casual about disney jobs, her sister as donald duck, talking about her city life in NY when she was 21....sleeping arrangements....
reading her very brief handwritten statement AND his, it was clear they both thought this was simply cut and dry, dropped off, went to pick up, wasnt there, finds out "didnt make it to school". "feels she was taken". they both stuck to the abbreviated script and were not anticipating being asked particulars. is JS that obtuse?
sorry, mini rant....I just dont know one way or another about that enumerated list....my first impression was JS compiling verbiage for disability or some such....she mentions in that car ride "she's disabled" works part-time and doesnt make much money.
continued rant on my part: she never checked the school when she was right there. she called Madeline's friend first but didnt contact the teacher on the school app until 5:35pm. why did she leave her mother's place of business and go park and sit near a path where she thought she 'might see her walking' when she already took that route when she left the school pickup line.
right, she said he QUIT. but doesnt say why. Epcot as far as I know is owned by Disney.
If CS did that you'd THINK he'd know that LE isn't going to look at a blood stain (or other fluid stains) and then go with it MUST BE Maddie's blood without doing a DNA test on the stains to determine if it is or isn't. He's got to know that so it's a strange thing to say IMO.
I know this goes against popular opinion, but I honestly don’t think she was “lying” or being intentionally untruthful. That initial report says she “saw” MS, but every subsequent report where she is asked about it, she says she heard her or she thinks she heard her. She never gave specifics on seeing her (did JS get out of bed? Where was Maddie?) but she does get specific about hearing her (heard movement in the kitchen, assumed it was Maddie). I don’t see anything that would make her want to back away from that lie, if it was a lie. I chalk a lot of it up to all the anxiety and stress that would be building up in the hours of waiting for police and then the hours of working with them after they arrived. I wouldn’t expect any report to be 100% accurate at that point, or any point really.
Looks like the same handwriting in both. The "a's" and "w's" and the double "o's" with no spaces between them, the "y's" just to name a few. MOO.
In my experience, the person is asked what happened, and the cop writes it down. The cop then asks you to review it and sign directly underneath, or when you have written it yourself, the cops dictate certain wordage.
Why does it need to be taken literally?
in addition, JS says its not unusual for Madeline to hang out in that church parking lot when JS's stepdad would pick her up from school. wonder if they confirmed that with him. or was this her attempt to have that parking lot as not unusual because SS dropped her off there.
THANK YOU PRU,. I am not sure which ones are ok to post. And its not really an interview, they are just having banter on the way to the police station.
Because words need to be exact in an emergency.
In an emergency people are not always thinking straight and/or able to articulate perfectly.
Jen's handwriting looks like that of a middle schooler, very interesting. In an inital glance, I thought it was MS's ...
Point taken.
