Someone brought up Elizabeth Johnson earlier, she not only told the father their son was dead, but that she murdered him. It took them a long time to get her on custodial interference, and that was with a father that had sole legal custody. If it took that long to nail someone who flat out said they murdered their child and was already in trouble for running off with a kid she didnt have custody of, I cant see the police moving any faster on this.
But she is both a blood relative of JJ and an adopted aunt. And the welfare check was initiated by her testimony so she will surely have to be there to explain that I would think. What other family of JJ's and Tylee could be there do you think? The other grandparents and aunts/uncles? Chad's relatives? Who would be allowed in court? LE made the unusual decision to publicise this so why was that?
Since these are not clear and direct threats and hearsay, i doubt they would be useful criminally; however, perhaps if these were put in Affidavits, the circumstances may be enough for a judge to give custody to the state since that's a family court matter. If we have a lawyer in the forum, they may be able to speak a little more about this. I do have a background with family court and child custody/ abuse/ neglect. And based up on the statements alone, there wouldn't be enough to accept a report for investigation for CPS as there is nothing that makes direct threats. I think that medical records for the kids or getting mom's mental health records (if they have a warrant) would be a little more concrete. If they can show there's a serious mental illness history along with these sorts of statements or something concerning in kids medical history, that may assist more with a circumstantial case. As for my personal opinion, i think there's more than enough to move on this, get mom in and start questioning her. But the law doesn't care about my views, haha.
Yes, I believe they know that the children will not be produced and Lori will not come. I so hope that I am wrong.
Anthony goes into the new mom still wants to party category. Johnson was in a group I forgot, people who hate the other parent so much and have generally lost a custody battle now in a 'If I cant have them, no one can' mindset. That still doesn't apply to Lori, anyone she was involved with to hate so passionately was dead. Who knows, maybe in her off camera time all Lori can talk about is being a god. She might be less stable than she seems and still nuts enough to off her kids for whatever reason. I agree she's cold. Didn't seem to care when Tylees dad died either, but she painted him as an abuser. Didn't care when Charles died, but then again Charles didn't die, that was Nick. Makes you wonder why she didn't say Nick stole her purse and keys though. She would be a new breed of psycho to just kill her kids, one basically able to start fending for herself, and one that would gladly be taken back in by family who loves him, just to run off with a doomsday potato. I'm not saying she couldn't have done it, I'm just proposing a possible outcome where she didn't.
Well I just don't understand the wait and the publicising of this if they were able to get search warrants in Rexburg, what was the probable cause then when it had only been 2 months?
That may explain Alex's death. Maybe his conscience got the best of him. Just couldn't live with himself.
Again hearsay, someone giving dates on JJ's school enrollment said they had a kid in his class in ID. No mention of 'and he was telling the kids his dad was murdered'.
Well now there is a child protection order in place and LE have told us that so if there is no show of Lori and kids, the custody or other battles will start IMO. If someone is sitting watching this with the kids, then they too will be in breach of that protection order also. I believe that is the reason for taking the unusual step to publicise it. I hope it works how the courts want it to work.
That's interesting thank you.
