How did she look from the laptop when it was disposed of by SS in the dumpster at around 7.45
Apologies if I missed it, but can someone please post a link where JS actually says she looked through the school laptop that SS had tossed in the dumpster Monday morning?
Given the slew of confusing and often somewhat contradictory info we’ve gotten over this past week, I definitely might’ve just missed something. But considering the massive implications behind the claim that JS looked through a laptop that had already been turned off and dumped before Madeline was even known to be missing and after she was already dead no less, I definitely want to make sure it’s accurate an one.
The most I’ve seen her say on the topic comes from
this interview, which I’ve gone ahead and snipped & partially transcribed with timestamps for relevance below.
Added emphasis is my own.
@ 1:43 Interviewer: Have you heard from any of her friends? Has she been active on any social media?
JS: She hasn't been active on social media, none of her chats, none of her games. We did contact all her friends, none of them had seen her Monday or heard from her.
@ 2:03 Interviewer: And I have to ask this, and I hate doing it, but is she the type that would run away? Has this happened in the past?
JS: Never, she's never ever mentioned anything like this before, and she's not the type to want to do this. @ 2:22 She did accidentally leave her phone on Monday, which is kind of normal for her, she’s got ADHD and very forgetful. So she left her phone at home so there’s no way to trace her. They tried tracing her school laptop, but that’s off so it’s not pinging to anything.
@ 2:43 Interviewer: What is your fear? Do you think she could have met somebody and tried to meet up with them?
JS: She’s open to us, she’s open with us about, you know, if she’s got a crush with anyone, and she told us she had a crush on someone at school, and I looked at their messages– nothing was weird. I looked at all of her messages, all of her deleted messages, nothing seemed weird. It didn’t seem like she was talking to anyone, so I don’t feel like that’s the case. I feel like she may have been taken, because this is not like her at all, to just disappear and not tell us, not let us know where’s she going or who she’s with.
@ 5:31 Interviewer: There's no way that she just, being a teenager, maybe had a fight with you, or an argument with you and was like, “You know what? I'm gonna go hang out at so and so's house and teach her a lesson.” Could that be a scenario?
JS: I don't believe so. We actually haven't gotten into a fight in, like, a few weeks, or arguments or anything like that. If anything, on Sunday she celebrated her 13th birthday with my entire family, and she had the best day. She was so happy, she showed us all her gifts. She’s just a happy girl, and she showed it on Sunday night. When she went to bed, she was so happy. She had the best day. @ 6:17 There was no moment in that evening, from when she got home from the party, that she had her phone or had the laptop– she went straight to getting ready and went to bed– so I know she didn't have any conversations with anyone, she didn't make plans with anyone. I didn't see any of that.
Interviewer: So she spent the whole Sunday celebrating her 13th birthday. Was her 13th birthday on that Sunday? Or that was just the time you guys were celebrating?
JS: That was the time we were celebrating, her birthday was on Thursday the 22nd, she just turned 13.
Unbeknownst to JS and the rest of us at the time, we now know the reality behind
“She did accidentally leave her phone on Monday,” and that it wasn’t due to Madeline’s ADHD– or Madeline at all, but to SS being the monster he is. The same can be said for “
They tried tracing her school laptop, but that’s off so it’s not pinging to anything.”
But overall this interview just reads as JS discussing the laptop in the context of not seeing Madeline use it or her phone after she got home from her birthday party Sunday night (which JS couldn’t attend due to work), and that it didn’t seem like she could’ve been communicating or trying to meet up with anyone, in response to the interviewer’s question.
So sorry for the lengthy response this kinda got away from me lol (am also sorry for accidentally clicking post before i was finished and then having to hastily edit this to be somewhat intelligible) **fixed the formatting so it wouldn’t be a huge wall of text sorry y’all
