I honestly don't think anything was that unusual compared to what we've seen in the media, dating back to the first interview. Reality is, nobody really knows what their marriage was like prior to her disappearance. For all we know, they could've had an open marriage and assumed more of the roommate roles to keep the children together with both parents. Just speculating, since we don't know goes on behind closed doors. I've also been following the Tosha Herron disappearance from North Georgia. It's not my place to defend either SM or TH's estranged husband (living separately), but I just don't get the feeling that either are responsible. Personally, I would hope my husband would be more diplomatic and put my children first before saying or writing anything that could cause more damage. But, IMO, we may just be seeing the reality of what their relationships entailed and their actions may be very normal from their perspectives.
Well, it could be just me, but I see nothing shady about this statement. It means the same as "I don't want my little girls to grow up without their mommy." Not sure what you're hearing that I'm not hearing?
That he doesn't talk enough about how much he wants her to be found alive and well? I don't know, to me, that's not suspicious, it's more something that a real father would say. Who is with his obviously distraught children every day and doesn't want to see them suffer without their mother anymore. For whom that is more important than how much he misses his wife.
I am not trying to make him out to be a saint or anything (even though I don't think he's involved in her disappearance, and I could absolutely be wrong,) I am just pretty sure that my stepdad's main concern would have been me if my mother had disappeared - given how close we were, - and I can absolutely see him say the exact same things.
Nothing but MOO.
