I've had the same exact thought for a while now since she's looking more like a woman in the pics of her 13th BD party, and no longer looking like a young innocent child. Just becoming more mature looking. But where my mind went wasn't that she'd tell, but I'll keep those thoughts to myself.
The fact she's adding a lot of details reminds me of something I read from a book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. While it sort of has nothing to do with this case, it sort of does. I had taken some notes about survival signals to protect a person from violence. Here's one taken from my notes:
Could it be one of the cameras time was not set accurately ?
I thought she was a pet sitter?
Perhaps if she was working from home she did it as a side line.
That clarifies for me that she didn't go into the school or phone them immediately to check if she was late coming out or anything, just oh she could of gone for a walk. Seriously that doesn't make sense IMO
LinkedIn is about as factual as a person's resume which are embellished quite often. It's up to the individual to put together their own LinkedIn (LOL @ my typo. I had to correct KinkedIn) there is no one making sure the data is factual. All MOO.

Im thinking of my kids in middle school, they took a school bus unless there was an afternoon school activity. I had a 20minute drive with my youngest and I was ALWAYS early, i didn't trust traffic. If I didn't see him after everyone was out I would immediately go inside and ask for him. I tend to panic if my kid isn't where they should be. Even now at 15, he walks home and if he's 15 minutes late I am very concerned.
That's my thinking
I too have thought about this. Were the time stamps accurate? I was originally thinking maybe they weren't changed with daylight savings time when I was trying to make the times make sense (like how she could be seen by mom getting dressed at 8am, yet SS vehicle on camera leaving school area at 8:10, pulling back into complex at 8:19). My brain gave up trying to make sensical reasons as to how things could happen that fast.
Have a look at the photos available online from that party - there is the one of her with the blue streamers and the cake, and the outside is visible on screen right - its around dusk. The sunset that day was at about 6:21pm that evening (I googled).
Oh the bitter irony if they didn't let her have her phone at night because of the dangers of online predators when the predator was living right there in her damn house!!
Mine are young adults, and just in general when them or anyone I care about isn't where they say they will be roughly when they're expected, I become concerned. I think this is pretty universally true, right? If we were supposed to meet for coffee and you were a no show within a reasonable amount of time, my initial impulse would be to wonder if you were OK. Not that I would immediately assume the worst, but I wouldn't think "Gee, she must have gone for a walk."
Predators always guard their prey. I suspect the real reason a phone wasn't allowed was out of fear of being exposed.
I too have wondered if she did not make it home that night,but then it would mean she would have had to have been dressed in the green top and jeans ,as I presume she would have wanted to wear her party dress home. I imagine LE would have checked the dress .Have a look at the photos available online from that party - there is the one of her with the blue streamers and the cake, and the outside is visible on screen right - its around dusk. The sunset that day was at about 6:21pm that evening (I googled).
So if they'd had cake soon after, what time do you imagine the party ended at? Couldn't have gone much past about that point if they had cake around dusk - maybe ending between like lastest? 8/8:30pm if not a bit before based on what time the cake was likely done and nothing more - so MOO - but she probably didn't get home much later than what 9? If she left after the party when guests were gone and maybe some light tidy up or relaxing with host was over? Just guess this is NOT facts. So we're supposed to believe this 13 year old girl went home and just went directly to bed? Couldn't have been a late bedtime then.... and I don't buy it.
Were ALL her friends at the party? There was NO ONE she wanted to talk with and show her gifts to? Not one kid that couldn't make it due to some other commitment or illness (if any were even invited??). I think the idea that she went straight to bed is a lie, or a cover up for something. I'm not convinced she even made it home *safely* that night.
This is what any parent would do, go in and check. Only time you wouldn't is when you know for certain they will not be there
Yup, She knew. And IMO the only reason she would be dishonest is because she knew of the SA. Maddie isn't alive because she was SA, it all goes back to that. MOO
There is no question about it. If your child has not come out of school the very first thing to do would go and check they were not still in the building.
