Where did the story about Madeline being unhappy with the amount she got came from? Was that independently verified, or did that come from JS?
I don't think she was unhappy with the money, from what I remember she was unhappy about how many " friends" did not come to her party even though she invited many people??? . I cant remember if she invited people or if it was an open invitation type post.
and about Jenn, I recall hearing that she was supposed to get money from her mom and didnt? and thats what she was disappointed about. I dont know how true that is, I think it was in the first police reports that came out and that came from one of maddies friends.

It was said she was unhappy with both (lack of friends attending and not enough money).

From the interview of her BFF about the lack of money (Pg 107 of 896):

It was also common for Maddie to talk about getting money for her birthday. Maddie got mad at REDACTED for not giving her any money for her birthday and complained because she didn’t get enough money for her birthday.

From Pg 48 about the lack of friends in attendance:

I asked REDACTED1 who else was at Madeline's birthday party other than her family. REDACTED1 stated another girl from their school, REDACTED2, was there. I asked REDACTED1 how Madeline was acting at her party, and she stated when she got there, she was kind of acting upset. But when REDACTED2 got there, she changed her demeanor and began to act happy.

did it say anything about the invites? I felt like she was disappointed at the turn out, but thought the invite was kind of open. like a post or something.
If she personally invited people and they didnt show up, that would be even sadder.

Not that I've found. IMO she personally would have invited people which is the norm. Also, that would explain why she was unhappy at the low turnover. That'd only happen if you had few invitation acceptances. Otherwise, you'd only have yourself to blame for lack of attendance, right?
 
I was looking at pics of the backpack when it was discovered...I can only find them in videos...they laid out the items in it. I didnt see a water bottle which JS made a big deal about 'getting her clothes ready' and the water bottle and blah blah. I noticed 2 water bottles on the kitchen counter seen in the search pics, one pink. Madeline's?? also, no word about the paint all over the bag?

I wondered about the paint myself after seeing the items from her backpack. Also the squashed med containers. What in the world was that about? And paint is messy. There'd have to have been splatters from the looks of what I saw. I just can't imagine what that was about and why and when it was done. Also, why is the background of what those pics taken on smudged with the same color paint? Was the paint not dry on Maddie's things? Talk about things that make you go Hmmm...

The inhaler that was never mentioned by her mum :(
 
Then again someone dead doesn’t need an inhaler. I can imagine S told J he accidentally killed Maddie, and J sprang into action to help him cover it up. She never told in the press releases that Maddie used an inhaler and was never worried about it.
Was it after LE showed J the "photos" that J was comforting SS? They showed J the photos pretty quick. I cant remember if SS was already in custody when she saw photos. I think LE took phones first day.

thanks for capturing the stills. no water bottle.

from her subpoena interview:

WJ: Okay. Alright. Now, Madeline, does she lay out her clothes for school the next day, or is that something she gets in the morning, makes a game-time decision like my kid?

JS: (Quick Sigh) Typically It is a game-time decision, morning of.

WJ: Okay, what about this specific evening, do you remember anything about it?

JS: Yes. This evening we had, um, I had already discussed prior to Stephan coming to visit that he was going to help me take Maddie to school that day. Um, so because I knew that that was what was going to happen that night, I had asked Maddie to pick out your clothes, have everything ready, have your backpack ready, your water bottle, everything you need ready, so that way you could just grab your stuff and head out. It won’t be too much--too much of a hassle in the morning. Um, and so she did. She picked out her clothing. I asked her what she was wearing, and she told me what she had picked out. I said, “Okay, fine.”

WJ: Alright, so she picks it out, but does she physically take it out of somewhere, wherever she stores her clothes, and put it somewhere?

JS: I’m not sure.

WJ: Okay.

JS: I'm not sure if she took that clothes upstairs with her or anything like that.

WJ: Alright. So far you didn't see them in your room. And did you have the opportunity to kind of see her cubby part of the living room to see if she had put them on her bed or anything like that?

JS: I hadn't seen them.

WJ: Does Madeline have like a water bottle or a Hydro Flask or whatever the kids call it that she likes to sleep with and bring up or bring wherever she's sleeping?

JS: Mmmmm.... Typically not. That stays downstairs in her backpack, and then she'll clean it in the morning and then fill it back up and just leave it in her backpack. That typically stays in the backpack.

JS asks Madeline what she picked out to wear???? I call BS on JS asking Madeline what she picked out to wear to school...as if she cared. I base my opinion on her friends statement she usually wears the same kind of outfit, black shorts. of which JS THOUGHT that was what she was wearing when she was 'missing'. then she says Madeline 'told her' but she never saw the clothes.

JS claims she had a discussion with Madeline PRIOR TO SS coming there...I can bet that is why Madeline was crying to her gm and gpop about going home. maybe she didnt specify to them it was because of SS, but heck she WAS crying according to them. which again, I wonder why they never revealed why she was upset, didnt they ask her? or is that something that has been redacted. because if she did say it was because of SS, imagine THAT guilt.
