I have rewatched the first interview several times. I too find it bizarre that JM is able to clutch the baby's blanket without sobbing, especially when she explains what it is. My eight-year-old has a blanket she sleeps with every night and honestly every time I smell it I nearly get emotional, and she's alive and well! It is her security blanket so she sleeps with it every night. I will never get rid of it, even when she's grown and over it. It smells like her 😊 And BTW, I've checked with her pediatrician to see if this is normal at her age, lol, and he said some kids go to college with "security" items. Lol.
Anywho, back on topic about that first interview. Has anyone else noticed that JM looks back-and-forth between VDK and the interviewer IMO in a nervous/frantic kind of way, like OMG what exactly is he going to say, and is NE going to buy it, when VDK is discussing what supposedly happened to the baby. She also seems to make a lot of movements with her mouth and foot when VDK is divulging details or specifics. Just my observation.
She seems more relaxed when he changes topic and begins to talk about the search and rescue team/effort. To me, that is telling. She knows he can't fabricate anything about the search and rescue effort, because that is what happened and it's verifiable. There's no reason to be nervous when discussing it. But there is much reason to be nervous when explaining the timeline and the circumstances surrounding their son's disappearance.
That combined with her utter lack of emotion is suspicious, at least to me. For the record, I am a mother of two.
This is all MOO.
