Here's your wellness check, Pops -- check the jail roster every morning.

The jail isn't going to MAKE your 37 year old son call his daddy.

Tough breaks.

I posted this before: ummmm....CS, CALL SS's LAWYER if he wants to know whats up with his son.

when he showed up unannounced at Kissimmee PD, listening to him never missing an opportunity to say how he guided SS and they did this and they did that, their parental skills....ugh. and did you check this and that...as if LE needs his investigative skills. and then weasel like questions in the middle of his boasting, and then: 'we are just trying to get some closure, *and asks this in the same breath* how far back do those images go??"

but this: CS brings up the hard drive that was on the computer, the one he says SS was using on Sunday. he doesnt understand how THE hard drive he found ended up in the storage unit. then he is told that hard drive had not been used since 2020. he says "huh", as in thats interesting. LE says the computer CS said he was using that morning that hard drive for that computer is not the same one, they dont know where it is...and then CS: 'oh, this isnt the same hard drive'???? he acts surprised. and then says he 'assumed' it was the one he found in the storage unit belonged to the computer they took. then immediately says he is still wondering how the one he found got put in there.

IMO, CS knows all about that 'missing' hard drive.

Two different interviews. CS said that in the latest interview (audio only) of he and his wife being interviewed by a woman and a psychiatrist. He said he called the jail for a wellness check because he hadn't heard from the son in 2 weeks or so. Maybe SS didn't want to engage with them anymore once the interviews they gave to the police earlier implicated him. LOL.

thanks, couldnt remember which interview about the 'wellness check'.

Ya know, every time I see/hear that statement, about how far back the images went... it makes me wonder if the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

What would knowing the answer to that question tell him? Or is there a more perverse reason he wants to know? Things that make me go Hmmmm....

Yep @Gemmie ! …. and my mind goes to which computers and hard drives to examine and where? What electronic devices? And where and when did it occur? Maybe there is an abundant cloud and storage of imagery (need a puke emoji here…. sorry) ….. that will bury those involved. SMH.

Sincere hope is that the seeming silence from the investigators is not due to inaction or inability for further possible charges and prosecutions. And that that proffer opportunity for JS is somehow involved. And SS’s parent’s actions need serious scrutiny IMO. MOO

Oh, I think the seeming silence is them with their heads down working hard on whatever will come next in this investigation. I get the feeling they are dotting all their i's and crossing all their t's. And didn't LE say at one point that no one has been cleared? I can't find the direct quote so wondering if anyone remembers that and has it in their notes they can share? Cuz I could have sworn I heard it somewhere in regards to this case. If I recall it was early on when they were interviewing all the family and said no one has been cleared. Maybe they have by now, it's been a while.

I also recall them saying Madeline is the only victim. They haven't said otherwise since.

I'm surprised LE humored CS to let him go on and on like that. When he asked "how far back do those images go?", I thought he was fishing for something more personal to himself. It was such a strange interview! MOO.

Is this the same dad who commented to LE something... (ugh my memory) about it being stupid of SS to still have it on his phone or something like that. Anybody else remember that exchange?

Like it would have been better for SS. But what about MS? How about it would have been better if he never took advantage of the innocence of a child. For years on end.

What is with all the excuses and reflections?

I suppose they're still sending money for rootbeer barrels and guessing at what books their boy wants to read next.

I'm thinking they were fishing themselves, not humoring him. You know, let him talk and see what kind of info they can gather. My mother used to be an investigator (not LE, but she worked with LE on the investigations) and her golden rule was to shut up and listen. If you got a talker... just let 'em talk. That and ask open ended questions, not yes/no Q's, then sit back and gather what comes out. Some people just really run their mouths, especially some guilty. It's like they are trying to point in the other direction verbally (Look! Over there!), and/or give explanations of what could have happened (but didn't), and hoping they take the bait (they don't).

I just have the feeling there are some surprises in store in regards to this case.

I agree with all you said. It was just hard listening to everything the father was saying/asking, as if he was the interviewer.
I do hope LE pulls something out of their sleeve in this case that holds JS accountable and any others that may be involved. It's hard to accept that only SS has been charged.
MOO.
