Going back to the telephone call MG was talking on. Is it just me, but I thought in places she sounded as though she was starting to get high pitched, excited, as she spoke. Almost like Lori spoke to LE onthe morning CV was murdered,
I thought the recording released by True Crime Underground sounded like it was just a little higher speed. My ex, the guitar player, told me once that this is the first thing that happens with a recording - the speed is messed with. Not that I think that was done on purpose. It could just be due to YouTube settings, or compression of the file. I notice this a lot on old records that are remastered and transferred to digital files - compression.
I do think adrenaline was a major factor in the whole scheme of this cult, playing on the fight or flight response. The up, the down, the resolution. People can get addicted to that feeling. So yes, MG sounded excited, but also had a long story to tell, in a short amount of time. She was still heavily under the influence of the cult, afraid to think that anything could possibly be wrong with them and their "visions".
Maybe some part of her realized that she was lucky to be alive, herself; lucky that her own husband and kids were still alive. Lucky that it wasn't her who got involved with Chad Daybell or married Alex Cox.
I think to myself of all the times that my own narrow escape prompted not tears, but hysterical laughter! It could have been so much worse and the fact that it didn't happen now causes me to laugh, instead of the crying that would have happened had I not been so "lucky". "Some kind" of emotion, that really isn't happy and really isn't sad, but needs to be released. Maybe it is just relief.
I thought SD sounded a little excited, too, but MG, at this point, had already told her story to LE. Law enforcement tends to sound "neutral" upon hearing a story. I think MG was looking for validation (you did the right thing, I understand your confusion) from SD, as did SD when she shared the recording with several Youtubers before going to LE herself (you did the right thing in covertly recording this, you are right, MG's participation is questionable).
I do think we all need to keep our eyes on the goal of a guilty verdict for Chad and Lori, and ask ourselves who is the culpable party here, and who should be taken down, as far as this recording goes.
What good will it do discredit MG as a witness for the State? Who would like to see that happen? What good does it do to pile the blame on a Youtuber trying to get the scoop, or SD for initially sharing abroad what should have gone straight to LE?
There is only ONE person again muddying the water by trying to cast blame on anyone but theirself, and ONE person who should be kicked off this case for leaking what was sealed and confidential discovery. Classic narcissistic gaslighting. IMO
