(Why no follow up to where she found the missing money? Why do I suspect she never actually saw the missing money, just that SS sold her a bill of goods on why money no longer existed -- and she bought it.)

(jmo)
 
I thought it may have been put back also . If it was gone and only a few people live there the money didnt walk away on its own. so she either misplaced it for a time, and found it or maybe someone put it back? The fact that she told her teacher he stole money makes me wonder what happened.
I wonder if JS took the money for Botox and later replaced it. IMO, just seems to me like something JS would do -- especially after she told Investigators that she located the subject Christmas money and it was never missing.
 
yes! why was it so important for her to slide that info in, they did not ask her.

WJ: So was that the plan, to get her together, or was it ever discussed that he would get her alone?
JS: The plan was for us to get her together
WJ: Okay. Alright. So does he leave before you leave
JS: Uhhh.. Actually, before this, while we were still discussing—while we were having the conversation in my room, he did mention at one point, oh, while he was sitting there, that he had to reboot his phone or that he had to update his phone.
WJ: Mhm.
JS: And, I told him, "Stop avoiding it. Do it. It's an update, it'll take a while, just do it." And while he was updating his phone, he said, "I don't know what I did, but I--I just factory reset my phone."
WJ: Mhm.
JS: I said, "That's weird. I didn’t know you could do that." He said, "Yeah, a button popped up and I pressed it, and it just reset my entire phone." And I'm like, "Oh, that sucks." Um.

isnt it amazing how JS can relay every single conversation with SS without a hiccup. yet with Madeline, there are no particulars with any information concerning her whopping 30 minutes with her other than birthday money talk and 'she thinks a few trinkets', Madeline is happy and thats it. (no movie and no singing story in this interview.)
She has either rationalized the reset to the police with a false narrative or S had already reset his phone and was creating a story so that J would “witness” him resetting his phone.

If it’s the first… then this woman is evil and needs locking up.
 
Did we ever learn how long SS maintained employment at Disney? A $30,000 salary is a lot of dollars but only of you work the whole year. If you only work one day of it, it's not gonna pay the bills.

I can't picture him lasting more than a few days at any job. But I am especially repulsed by the thought of him working anywhere near anyone's children.

Arrested development. Arrested, corrupted, disgusting development.

J said he had trouble holding on to jobs because of his mental health.

I'd be interested to know if Disney has a secret file on him.

You can't tell me Disney doesn't keep files on all the known perverts, like the Boy Scouts did.

MOO
 
J said he had trouble holding on to jobs because of his mental health.
I'd say he had trouble holding on to jobs because of his SA addiction, sleeping days and committing felonies at night, paired with a mess of entitlement, laziness, dishonesty...

But other than that, he was probably a good guy.

Not.

Maybe Madeline complained about her missing money to her grandmother who confronted JS. Or that Madeline told her mother/SS she would report it if it was not returned
 
It is possible SS inherited money by means of a trust meaning he doesn't control it, a trustee does, depending on the terms of such a trust he may only receive a set distribution once per quarter or per year. There could be many reasons such funds might not be considered "available" to him to use for attorneys fees. JMO IME
the Application for Indigent Status, the block for TRUSTS/GIFTS is checked off as "NO". and he Checked Off this box: "I DO NOT expect to receive more assets in the near future". the only thing he checked off was the car as having any value.

Since his father didnt say and wasnt asked where this inheritance came from or how much it was, it seems he alluded to it was a lump sum of money SS received, (and probably blew thru), by mentioning SS impulsively went out and bought himself a $7,000 watch.

I missed that passage in a teacher interview that Madeline told her about the theft?
 
What did J’s family think of her and her relationship with M, did they have concerns about her parenting? What are their testimonies like? What do they think now? Do they support her or doubt her? Their views must be so important to the police.
as far as I have recalled, they havent said anything publicly about JS. although we do know from JS interview she was staying with her sister.
 
A thought experiment: Imagine that until Maddie went missing, JS didn't know SS was abusing her.

Got that idea fixed? Good.

Now think about JS's latest released interview. She displays absolutely no hint of betrayal, dislike, hate, anger, shock, or rage toward SS. She even says "he was my best friend" without choking.

Her behavior simply does not comport with being surprised to learn what SS was doing to Maddie. IMO

Edited: and she does not have an overall flat affect that would indicate this could be caused by sedating medication.

Excellent way to put it!

There is no way most (all!) of us would be saying anything good about a man who hurt our child for years and then killed her.

and this....she remembers having a 'lunch date' but doesnt remember if SS 'babysat'....yet investigators knew there was communication with SS about it. only a few weeks before she is missing and she cant remember?????? I call it BS.

MM: Do you remember sending him a text message asking if he can babysit Maddie while you go have lunch with your friend?

JS: This was a few weeks before? I remember—I remember going out a few weeks before. I don't remember asking him to babysit. I don't know where he was.

MM: Did you ever go to lunch with your friend and he babysat her?

JS: I—I did go to lunch with my friend, but I don’t think he—I don’t think he was here. I think Maddie stayed home alone for a few hours.

makes me crazy the term BABYSIT is used.
 
MS, a minor child, died under suspicious means that were determined to be criminal, not an accident, under JS's watch.

JS was under criminal investigation and had to make a decision if she was going to cooperate with the investigation of her daughter's murder or not.

IMO, JS lawyered up, and made the decision to cooperate but not without some form of protection for herself. There are three types of immunity, and JS received the middle ground. IMO, she got more than she deserved.

Derivative Use Immunity (DUI) is better than Use Immunity because it prevents the government from using not only JS's direct statements and evidence against her, but it also protects her from any evidence derived through additional information the authorities might derive from her as she cooperates by giving the DA and investigators honest answers to their questions about both herself and SS.

JS's DUI won't protect her from the government using evidence against her that it obtained completely independent of her cooperation. For example, an independent source, and/or an independent investigation could still result in evidence to prosecute her. IMO, the person who could probably hurt her is SS but she's covered now. JMO
With DUI it sounds like she would have no immunity where she was not truthful. How might they prove she was untruthful when she said she could’ve remember or didn’t know? And there was a lot of that (I assume coached by counsl). They can’t get inside her head but let’s hope somehow there will be evidence to prove she does remember or did know. OMO.
