There does seem to be a big difference between the interviews given by people who are genuinely distraught about a missing person and the ones done by those who know that person is dead and 99.9% of the time a vast majority of Websleuthers can immediately spot the difference and instinctively notice when something does not feel right.
IA. There’s one press conference in particular where Maya Millete’s sister can barely speak through her sobbing and rage, her pain is so raw it just makes you want to run to her and hold her as tight as you can so she doesn’t shatter into pieces.
Watching JS I feel annoyance and exasperation, esp in the second interview.
Not trying to sound judgey but as a new-ish mom with a toddler daughter I’ve tried putting myself in her shoes. I know I would be red-faced, my eyes would be swollen, my skin would be splotchy…I would be stammering as I tend to do when I’m extremely upset. I wouldn’t be positing where LE wouldn’t find her, I would be begging the local community to get outside if they are able bodied and search behind every tree, under any rock…call in any tip no matter how small. And I would be talking to the press from wherever she was last seen bc I wouldn’t be eating or sleeping, just combing the neighborhoods until I couldn’t stand upright.
You look at families like Crystal Rodger’s, and it just doesn’t make any sense for both adults in this case to seem so…unperturbed and dry eyed. I would think that in the case of a child, your
only child you would be even more desperate and frantic.
Can’t remember who it was but I believe there was a woman who was pregnant and murdered, her baby kidnapped…her husband gave an interview or two and he had a super flat affect, he got totally annihilated by the public and it turned out that he wasn’t involved at all. So if I’m just being harsh I’ll eat crow easily, I’m just making observations as a true crime junkie and hyper vigilant BL reader.
