Hi Mom hi Dad. Hey I just killed Michelle can you give me a ride back to the Hummer so I can dispose of her body and the car? So he either has a body in his truck or she's at his house in the Hummer?
Could very well be. But more like, "Oh man, Dad, I am in big trouble. I just screwed up very badly. You've got to help me!"
Have you seen his father? The bizarre, childish faces he made to the camera after court? The nasty, angry attitude? If that was me, I would be more saddened and horrified about what happened to my former daughter in law and what is happening to my son than frustrated with a swarm of photographers. And even if I lashed out at them, I wouldn't do so via odd facial expressions. Those expressions are very telling, IMO.
A domestic abuser or violent person isn't usually just created from thin air. Spoiled, entitled brats who are not taught to control their tempers, to think of others, to delay gratification, along with parents who display violent or ugly conduct towards others, a disdain for others' rights, a disdain for women, and a carefully fostered belief that the brat is perfect and can do no wrong, that's usually how such monsters are created.
I'm not sure how many of these sordid cases you may have followed but there have been several in which enabling parents or other family members hide evidence, lie for their kids or worse. casey anthony's parents did this, scott peterson's parents as well, it appears that drew peterson's adult son may have, and josh powell's dad, jerice hunter's mother, etc., etc.
There are families who believe family solidarity is of utmost importance, even when it means covering for a murdering or molesting child. What I have seen of Dale's father indicates that his may just be one of those families.
True but he still needs someone to help him or he drove his truck back to get the hummer all with no one seeing him. Then he had to walk back to get his truck at his condo so he could go back to his parents. I'm really trying hard to put Dale in this.
I don't see why this is so hard, really. First of all, we don't know that no one saw his car driving around, or the hummer driving around. The windows were tinted in that hummer, so it could be hard to determine who is driving. And maybe people saw those vehicles at a time that Dale could have been driving back and forth, but it didn't register as important to them so they didn't store that memory away.
Second, he calls dad, after stuffing Michelle away somewhere, lets dad know what's happened and dad helps him come up with a plan and helps him execute it. Kids are dropped off (or not), Dale is driven back to the house or dad goes back, one of them moves the hummer when the coast seems clear and one of the two picks the other one back up at a certain point. Same goes for disposing of Michelle.
There are so many possibilities and none of them seem close to impossible to me.
Again, there was a reason LE stormed Dale Sr.s house in storm trooper fashion. That indicates they believe he knows something. LE has the phone records, we don't. But I expect there was a flurry of calls between Dale and his dad during the crucial time period.
And I think, in observing father and son, that Dale wouldn't hesitate telling Daddy what he did and seeking help. Dale didn't become who he is without help, IMO.
