OK, where do I begin...this case, like no other, is keeping me up at night and I am constantly distracted by the confusion around the information and facts or lack thereof.
First, my interest and/or priority would be to find Timmothy, not the families feelings....no disrespect, I think they would all agree. Secondly, I have to assume because I don't know any better, that LE/investigators are better at their job then I am, but....I shall speak my mind at this point....
This case stinks! There are so many unanswered questions and suspiciousness around this case it's making my sick. I can hardly gather my own feelings and thoughts. The facts are critical, yet changing along with gaping holes! So many simple and logical questions that could or should have been answered are either 1)NOT being shared with the media/public, 2)LE has NOT released for some specific leads or 3)they are inept.
1) information not being shared....I'm not sure if LE only share a limited amount of information, but if they want leads they need help form sites like this and from the general public....if they do not share we cannot help. Anything can be a clue, so put the information out there. i.e....how did Amy get home to get her car, is it truly a 2nd family car, why doens't she drive to work, how much cash did she have on hand (estimate, hubby should know),where did they eat on Wed...what did Dad do after he showed up to school at 10:30 and learned that his wife had picked up Tim from school at 8:45, unplanned, in a car she didn't have and he didn't know where she was....did he really say that he went back to work and did he really do to sleep that night and not report them missing until around noon on Thursday???? If this is true, why...what is Daddy's excuse? I could go on and that's just the first couple of hours he was missing...
2) LE has a lead or info that they are withholding becuase of a suspect or lead or suspicion they have on the case....however, if they have this it has not been communicated they they have something...they lead the public to believe they have nothing. Are they allowing the family & fiends to speak out in hopes they foul up....this lead, if that's the case, should not take this long and some additional infromation would either provide a suspect in custody or clear someone....I've heard neither. If they are withholding evidence/facts for a reason, their suspicion is being diminished every hour that nothing comes to fruition.....which brings me to...
3)LE is inept....I want to be careful in this statement, but if the questions from #1 have not been answered, and surely they don't need me to spell out the rest of the 'gaps' in the timeline and information that would create the 'story' and either clear names or create suspicion amongst possible suspects, than I have to resort to this....LE had better already have the answers to all these questions, but the car seat showing up later is a blatent lack of due diligence of any investigation. (i.e. I have kids, if a car seat is missing, first question is who'd we lend it to last...grandparents, baby sitters, etc are logical and clear places to start and it absolutely SHOULD NOT take this many days to uncover this....
At one point the father, Jim, stated that Amy and him had no blow-up or fight to trigger this, however at another point stated that she was not in a good place....why did he wait to report.
Sometime we look to hard for things (i.e. Rock Falls, Sterling, etc) instead of the most logical place, like in our own home! What WAS going on at home, because regardless of why she killed herself, her first motive was to remove Timmothy from his home/current life/or situation?????????????
I only hope this helps find him, I really don't care if I've pissed anyone off. Sorry, I have a 6 yr old!
