Several posters have mentioned thinking he went back to the car to see if Cooper was still alive. I wasn't really buying into that (or rather wasn't fully understanding their logic), but given the 9:30 work arrival (per sw), the "around lunch" car visit could have been as early as 11 or 11:30. Is it possible that Cooper was still alive one and a half to two hours later? It wouldn't have been as hot before noon, right? RH couldn't go back to the car again until after work because that would be even more suspicious! But maybe the original "plan" had been to "discover" his accidental forgetfulness at that lunch car visit.
I do, but most don't. I also will walk a LONG way for the privilege of parking in a shady spot. Almost no one here leaves a window cracked.
I went there but did not read it. Some folks read his Reddit account and he had stated something about losing partial hearing in his ear due to a bottle rocket accident....(paraphrased here.) HTH
I read some of his stuff but missed this one.
Killing your own child either by severe gross neglect or premeditatedly never makes sense to me.
Motive? What motive specifically would "make sense" to you?
Money?
Wanted to be free from the responsibility?
Jealousy?
You pick one.
I'm curious as to which one would convince you,

EXACTLY
I think few people on a jury identify with the "motive" in a murder case, but they DO seem to want to hear one. Although motive usually isn't required, it DOES make it into the trial presentation if they can find one, and if not, the defense is quick to point out there's no motive.
There doesn't appear to be a motive here, IMHO, or at least not one that's been brought out yet. And I'm willing to take ANYTHING as a motive, reasonable or not.

"I just hope it's not the obvious."
Wow. He must have been a really terrible actor.
Sorry folks, I just can't find it by searching.........but I am almost positive that I read somewhere on this thread or the one before, some reference by the Mom to "Job" in the bible. Anyone recall this? Perhaps even a particular verse from the book of Job. Now isn't Job the one in the Bible whose faith was tested such that he was willing to sacrifice one of his sons to prove his faith and trust in God?
Argh this is so frustrating. I tried to see what Leanna said at the funeral and then what Ross said to but it is in pieces. What I did see was not the normal thing I would of read.
No way did he not see his son in that car seat, at the time he came back. I drive a jeep Cherokee and I think it is larger, and I am short, Ross looks tall. There is no way at all that he didn't see Cooper in that car seat. Especially if it was in the middle.
I would not be able to forgive my husband, and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself either. That right there is a turn our lives upside down moment. Not after having a baby. It wouldn't be about us, it would be about the baby. Not about the supporters.
All if this seems so fishy.
I want to know this as well.
Respectfully snipped and bolded by me. I think you misunderstand some of our sentiments.
It's not that we don't believe it could happen, it COULD Happen. You know what else could happen?
A child finds a key and sticks it into an electrical socket and electrocutes themselves.
A child walks out the front door of their home and wanders into traffic and gets hit by a car
A child tips head first into a toilet and drowns
A child falls down a flight of stairs and breaks his neck
A child gets into medicine left out and over doses on drugs
A child gets into cleaning supplies and dies from drinking bleach
A child tries to pull on the television set and topples the entire thing onto themselves
A child stumbles and falls into an opened dishwasher door and impales themselves on knives
A child walks up to the stove and pulls a pot of boiling water onto themselves and suffers third degree burns
Any number of these things could ALSO happen. But when they do we hold the parent entirely responsible for not watching their child.
When you STRAP A CHILD INTO A CAR SEAT you have an extra level of responsibility. This is not a child getting out of sight for a few minutes and an accident happening. You are physically restraining the child behind you in the car. What kind of sick parent doesn't take that responsibility seriously? There is absolutely no way for the child to survive this, bar a random stranger breaking the windows on a car.
No I don't have sympathy for a parent that puts their child in a situation where they are completely at the mercy of the simple memory of the parent and then the parent forgets them. I do not have sympathy for a parent who forgets a frickin' HUMAN BEING in the car. Especially when they probably didn't forget the cell phone.
What kind of human depravity have we reduced our parents to that the bare minimum of remembering your responsibility to your own child, is excused with sympathy? I seriously do not understand this way of thinking.
The bare minimum for a parent is remembering your child. We've lowered the bar so much, that the fact that this poor child was horrifically baked alive in a car, pales in comparison to the discomfort that some people feel because they slack off when taking care of their children. It's shocking to me. All parents who do this should be prosecuted.
This very case demonstrates why. There are people making excuses because they feel insecure about it possibly happening to them. IF that becomes the baseline of the evaluation of responsibility of a parent, children are at a loss.
Waking up late is NOT the same thing as abandoning a child to be baked alive for hours. Just remember the poor little girl who ripped out all her hair before she died in a situation like this. It is inexcusable.
I posted a link back where early stages of decomposition were discussed, and one of the common things that happens in the hours prior to death is corpses burp and fart, often causing them to lurch a little.
Gross.
But really, it's believable he heard a choking sound. All this stuff - that sounds outrageous and unbelievable - isn't.
