The other interesting note in the article was that Timmy told a friend about his Mom's 'friends' there. She apparently shared some information with him prior to their trip.
I do find it hard to believe that she had these friends that she had to have made contact with to make arrangements for these meetings, but no email or paper trail at all. What about gas mileage receipts that would tell how far she went on those trips....or even the fateful trip.
If they know the mileage on the truck, one could do the math.
The other baffelling fact it the time between the last call and her first siting in
Winebago....7 hours(?), she may have driven 3 hours west to Iowa and back to Winebago; but more confusing is the 3 hours between Winebago and the Rockford hotel, about 15 minutes apart.....I can see stalling, writing the letter, eating, whatever....but not for 3 hours. This still bothers me.
Also, it would be very difficult to harbor a child from the public eye, without keeping him under some sort of control (medication or shelter). Based on her actions she seems to have intended to have the best interest of Timmy in her mind...so, I don't think she would agree to such a situations, which make me believe that someone took him out of the country or at least to a very remote location; possibly changing looks, identificaiton, etc. Not to mention her comment in the letter, "..you'll never find him". That's a pretty strong statement.
I do not believe she harmed him, but I can't believe that he's agreeing/adhereing to this change in lifestyle without Mom or Dad. He must be cut off from the world.
