I find it interesting when she asked LE about if they have surveillance video of Stern's taking Madeline's body out of the condo,and they don't answer. Also the fact that LE wouldn't show them the church parking lot video.it sounds like phishing to me. She's so worried about those,and getting him a lawyer. Her annoyed sighs at LE questions are infuriating. MOO
yes, ditto......
and then she's so helpful in one of her interviews, for LE to check out cameras at the vape store......and that mindset continued even when she was shown pictures of his body part and told that body part made numerous contact with her daughter, a/k/a SA. she is unable to call it what it is...she's busy ticking away in her mind, press charges or not press charges, or change her mind, etc.
too many OMG moments revisiting and listening to all of her interviews, starting with 'WE dropped her off'....IMO, she and SS really thought bare bones info about missing Madeline would just be enough: "she didnt make it' (to school). and "I believe she was 'taken'. and SHE still did not want to reconcile the SA as the reason why Madeline is now 'missing', BTW, with the last person Madeline is with who was abusing her for years.
IMO, JS is not dense, she is not obtuse. IMO, she didnt even act surprised when she was told, no, Madeline is not sleeping. and whispers is she dead....but not freaked out!
she recited SS's storyline as her own. right down to watching part of Sister Act which she told LE in the car on the way to Operations. which BTW, that account disappeared from her LE subpoena interview. she was asked if she did anything else besides talk with Madeline about her party, (happy happy) food and money gifts...answer: no.
IMO, she is very skilled at lying and withholding information and probably had a lot of practice to keep SS in her life, the facade, constantly ducking concern and questions from others. IMO, she continued to do it with LE as well. always had a possible storyline. 'maybe I missed her coming out of school, maybe she walked to my mother's business, maybe I forgot to tell her I was picking her up'. all of those thought processes on her part were non-sensical. bare bones, 'she never made it'. and thought it would be enough to keep the heat off of both of them IMO. lie first, refine the storyline, if needed, later. which IMO, she did.
