Not trying to distract from the conversation, but sharing a room with your 15 year old son??
from the audio interview, she said her son is 12. seems like a typo(15) in the docs released. its different hearing the entire interview. she is best friends with JS's sister. and did live with JS and her sister at some point years ago.
she said SS was out of the house 6-8 months prior to coming back...this is the period where JS was open to complaining about him and it was mostly about money. but then he came back and was staying in Room #4 for 4 months and was out again by December and she and JS hardly talked with each other.
ok...this Im scratching my head about: she claims that JS wanted Madeline to sleep with HER. not Madeline wanting to be with JS. she would hear Madeline's alarm go off in JS's room when she was in the kitchen area before she left for work. she infers this is when SS moved out.
when he was living there, she said she never thought Madeline wasnt sleeping in the living room bedroom area. (and she's been there just about 2 years) but then she said she never saw Madeline actually sleeping in her own bed. only saw her on her computer or hanging in that makeshift bedroom area. she didnt think Madeline was home monday morning. she didnt know SS was there that nite/morning either. she heard nothing, saw nothing, despite making lunches in the kitchen at 7:30-7:40 then leaving.
det. told her they got a tip about her
knowing something and asked her if she told anyone about her alerting JS about Madeline being alone with SS in the room because she was going out...(which she claims the door wasnt all the way closed, they were playing atari (game sounds). she said yes, she told Stephanie(JS's sister) but claims they didnt have any in depth conversation about it.
but goes on to say she didnt want to make a big deal about it with JS and then have a beef with her. she asked JS
if it was ok and was told yes.
she wasnt invited to the birthday party, it was
super close family only. yet her and her son and JS and Madeline did things together, like going to the pool. and celebrated holidays and/or birthdays in the house together which she claims is the only time they didnt spend time in their room OR cooking, they may all be hanging there, both kids. but most of the time, work, school, come home, eat, homework and bed.
unfortunately, IMO she is one of those individuals who now has extreme guilt for not taking action with JS (she says so, she wished she was more alert), and probably JS's sister feels the same way who was alerted by her. or possibly JS's mother.
all in all, IMO, no one will say anything specific now, if they did suspect something was realllllllllllllllly more than a red flag. its interesting because she herself was abused, she says and was very cautious regarding her own child.
