I've spent hours watching and re-watching Colby's interview today so I could add to the timeline. It took me forever to get through because every other sentence was another bombshell dropping. Many things he covered we heard hints of before but to hear it all told in his own words is mind-blowing. Kudos to Colby for speaking out and admitting his many feelings on what has happened-- he is pissed off, frustrated, angry and admits to cussing out Lori when he found out Charles was actually shot to death by Alex. Lori told him Charles had a heart attack. This lie combined with Lori refusing to tell CV's sons what happened but just repeating she was waiting on the ME is so shocking that it's surreal. Did she think that the ME would release the body, she would have a funeral for Charles and no one else besides Alex, Tylee and the Chandler PD would ever find out how Charles died??
It really gives me pause to wonder what else she has lied about and gotten away with lying about. For example-- Stacey's death in 1998. We have been told Stacey died from diabetes complications. What if that's not true at all? The internet was not nearly as pervasive in 1998 as it is today. There would not have been any reporters live streaming from in front of the house where Stacey died if there was a police investigation and crime scene tape put up like there was with Charles. No facebook or other social media for neighbors to post about her death and ask what happened. Lori not being tech savyy makes me think she really doesn't pay attention to the news on social media and had no idea that the new would show footage of the house with crime scene tape up. Or perhaps she figured since her neighbors didn't know her and CV's own sons didn't seem to know where she was living currently that it wouldn't matter if the house was shown on the news. But her lie is still so brazen and nonsensical it's hard to wrap my mind around.
I think it's time for a reporter to get a hold of Stacey Lynn Cope's death certificate and interview some more family to find out the real story of how she died. There has to be some history, some precedence that gave Lori reason to believe she could get away with lying to Colby (and possibly CV's sons) about how Charles died. MOO.
