From GHI part 2 YT, about 36:00 min mark:
Per MS's closest childhood friend, MS and SS texted several times during the day and she talked to him a couple times per week in the evening when home. She liked her mom's bf even though he no longer lived with them. She never saw him take MS to school, only her JS or grandmother -- MS never walked to school since she's known her.
SS/JS did not attend her bday party held at her grandmother's house. MS was upset that JS did not gift her $$ for her bday as she expected.
She did not know MS to talk to older men/women online and had no inappropriate behavior at school or online.
She was aware MS took Rx for Adhd and biopolar (and also reported mother JS was biopolar) and did not like taking Rx because she felt she had more energy when off meds. She would intentionally miss her Rx doses. Believed she last took Rx on 2/14.
Friend made another reference to MS being close with her step-dad.
Same friend's father searched for MS in the woods near their school but was unsuccessful locating MS. (MS told friend about wanting to live in the woods and build a house in the woods).
About 40:00 min mark --
Comments from school counselor who met with MS 6 times since beginning of school year. MS would come to see her claiming she had anxiety due to feeling over-stimulated at school environment. She complained about her mother's expectations of her and JS was often upset with MS over her being forgetful and not cleaning up/chores as expected, making MS more anxious.
MS TOLD COUNSELOR MOM'S BF WAS WEIRD AND MADE HER FEEL UNCOMFORTALBE. HE WOULD ALSO EAT THEIR FOOD AND HUNG OUT IN THEIR LIVING ROOM. MS TOLD THE COUNSELOR THAT SS WAS MOVING OUT AND SHE WAS DOING BETTER IN SCHOOL. IN FEB, LAST MEETING, MS REPORTED TO COUNSELOR THINGS WERE BETTER AT HOME WITH JS AND ALSO AT SCHOOL.
2nd period school teacher interview:
Confirmed the identity of MS's friends and reported MS was shy around authority figures and would bring a friend with her to talk to teacher.
MS was nominated as student of the week mid February.
She did not see signs of depression, but was very surprised to hear MS missing because she was shy, uncomfortable being alone.
Another teacher nominated MS student of the week for decorating school doors expressing kindness. (Extracurricular).
Teacher did not believe JS ever attended school open house, and teacher never met JS.
MS was a D student in her reading class and she was surprised to learn she expressed wanting to live in the woods. MS had sleepy days at school. Expressed surprise when assigned a story that discussed kissing and friends told teacher MS was shocked to learn lyrics by Lady Gaga had sexual meaning. Friends believed MS was a virgin.
A male school teacher also reported MS had sleepy days but was improving. Seemed to have more energy after first of the year. [i.e., SS moved out?].
Same teacher had no parent/teacher contact with JS despite JS once being a substitute teacher for his class.
1:27:00 - search warrants...
1:46:00 - Officer searched the family vehicles which were negative for MS. Officer also observed a handgun inside SS vehicle which SS acknowledged and said he kept inside the vehicle.
Ending on page 346 per GH.
Sorry folks, this was really taking one for the team. I reached my limit!
