IMO, it wasnt a slow response. she SAID she called 911 AFTER she confirmed Madeline was absent all day, after she drove around, checked her mom's place of business AND went back to a closed school. its likely she called and got voicemail. THEN, emailed the school.
so when did she email the school? was it from home, or via her phone? did she sit there and wait for an email response?
from the way she tells it, she did all these things and then called 911.
IMO, she was told to find out at minimum if she was at school at all. after all, she was not dropped off on the school property. did she say that on a 911 call? *well, we dropped her off 45 minutes before school started at a church parking lot and she walked?* right there, the parent did not see her daughter arrive at school because she wasnt dropped off at school.
she uses "I" for pickup only. for drop off, she uses 'we', but slips in BF drove Madeline. but then reverts back to we and us terminology. I did not hear her say we when picking up nor him. he is sticking with his role. drop off.
what I found alarming in the first interview is her response about what the search is entailing: she says, behind the school, a creek, a wooden path area, hiking path..she says they are going back there with canines/pieces of her clothing...taking their own vehicles going into the woods to search for her....then says: "I DONT FEEL LIKE THATS GOING TO FIND ANYTHING"
whatttttttttttttttttt?
why would she feel this search location was not NOT going to yield anything??? that was my big hmmmmm....
