I had expected an eye-catching car, with all the trimmings you can think of, when SS said, MS didn't like to be driven in that car. - Now, I think, my English was failing once more, and I understood at least one word completely wrong. Though it was not "hooptie", I am sure.
Yes. Hooptie- for me it a Southern California word, referring to a "janky" car that is "embarrassing". As a teen we were just lucky to get a car at age 16 so we didn't speak derisively towards cars but if cars were super janky/a beater/ on its last legs you could use 'hooptie'...I had expected an eye-catching car, with all the trimmings you can think of, when SS said, MS didn't like to be driven in that car. - Now, I think, my English was failing once more, and I understood at least one word completely wrong.

So SS's Fitbit is on the list, that's great to see verified. Here's hoping it helps nail this monster to the wall.
@Forest_Wood
Thank you!
It was SS, not his "hooptie."All MOO— Exactly! The car is a non-issue to me, I don’t think she would’ve cared that much. My stepfather used to drop me off in a rusty pickup truck, sure it was a little embarrassing but not to the point where I’d vocalise it so we’d take another car.Re: SS car and hoopties
I personally think there is SOME truth to this statement. Not as it relates to that particular morning, and not to the car. MS likely did not want to be seen with SS. He was probably super creepy when he dropped her off, and an overall embarrassment.
Think of it: "I told her I loved her, and she said I love you too." SS is such a creep. He was probably all over the poor kid on any other occasion he dropped her off, and MS was probably relieved to be at school and in a normal situation with peers. She wouldn't have wanted anyone to see that.
IMO, SS had to come up with a reason she wasnt dropped off where she should be, on school property. both of them gave that reason to LE in the event they were asked WHY so early and why at that location. they got ahead of the questions.
I wonder if a lot of her vocab is "good mom" visibility efforts: like, trying to show she is one by taking credit for things others did which she seems to know she should have been the one to do. "We" took her to school, "we" dropped her off at the church (no involvement in this at all, since she purportedly slept in, but that's what a mom would have done); "I" called 911 (your sister and mother did several times; you didn't, but a good mom would have).
Totally. In a household where the boyfriend or stepfather can be TRUSTED, this would never have been such a big deal. JS lies because there’s something there that makes her feel uneasy — guilty. Why? If you trusted him with your daughter you’d just say he dropped her off and that was fine and normal. Moo.
Phones are shut off usually at 10 or 11pm. Weekends they’re on until 12am. I’m sure it ranges depending on the facility though. Moo.
A beauty mark is an old-fashioned term still definitely used in the south.
Going back to this discussion YES, to me it is a super antiquated term and it is not used in my circle (now in CA), but I have heard it when I was little on the East coast from older folks. (I kind of hate the term... why is "mole" so bad? LOL I dunno, I'm ESL.)
I'm surprised they allow them that much time on the phones! I would have thought it was like visiting hours, with allocated times each day.
I was thinking that could be why his calls might fall in that specific time frame each day, so it's certainly possible that he has an assigned timeslot.
I drive a hooptie. I don't care, I love my old car.That's exactly my point about the car being " hoopties", more BS.
IMHO I don’t think Maddie said anything about being dropped off at school or his car. My thought is he just made that up for the story he was telling LE.

Inmates can make calls at anytime during the day. Usually phones open at 5am and turn off at 10pm. Even later on weekends. However if he is in an isolated one man cell, he would have to wait until rec to be able to make a phone call. Inmates are permitted one hour of rec per day. At that point he would be able to use the phone. But in general population, you have access to a phone all the time during the day/night until the phones are shut off for the night. I doubt he is in general population, which would explain why he is only making phone calls during a certain timeframe. Most likely when he is out on rec. MOO.
