BBM. Chad was on the run by Dec 11. I wonder how would an acquaintance be able to reach him without the authorities being alerted to Chad's location?
I imagine someone could have texted him. It might not have been an intentional "tip off" but it could have been a friend texting him to say "Hey Chad, did you know they are digging up Tammy's grave? What's going on?" (Just an example). We know Chad texts-- he texted the movie producer and actress wanting to make his book into a movie. His brother Matt said he texted Chad twice after Tammy's funeral-- once when he heard Chad was already remarried and again when he heard about the missing children. But Chad didn't reply to his brother.
As far as being "on the run" and concern about LE knowing his location- LE didn't call Chad and Lori POIs right away. I could be wrong, but I am under the impression that LE had some communication from Lori and Chad after the Nov 27 raid on the 3 Rexburg townhouses. Despite that raid, the media didn't find out about the missing children until Dec 20th. LE first called Chad and Lori persons of interest on Dec 21st. LE somehow has knowledge that Lori and Chad are not in the state of Idaho. LE also says that they did not have JJ and Tylee with them when they left Idaho. And it says Lori left the state with her new husband Chad. How does LE know all those things?
LE says Lori and Chad have "repeatedly lied about the whereabouts of the children". But we only know about one lie that was told during the Nov welfare check. Lori said the children were in AZ with a family friend. LE went away to check that claim and found out it was false later the same day. Then LE came back the next day with a search warrant and Lori and Chad were gone. So how did they repeatedly lie about where the children were if they only told that one lie at the welfare check? I think they either called LE or LE called them and they had some phone discussions where more lies were told before this whole thing became publicized. I think that if there were any phone calls after Nov 27th, then that is likely how LE knows that Lori and Chad left Idaho together (by pinging their phones). We don't know exactly when they stopped communicating with LE and possibly "went dark" on their phones-- if they did go dark. My opinion only is that they may have stopped all communication with LE around Dec 20th or just before. LE may have decided it was time to publicize the case due to that happening.
MOO.
