Here's the thing: Emily has no incentive to talk whatsoever. There are no charges pending against her related to Lucas. The charge of neglect for her daughter has a max 1 year sentence (I read that in this thread somewhere). If they put the same charge against her regarding Lucas, she *might* do 2 years.
She's already lost any hope of ever regaining custody of her boys. The judge made it clear to her what would happen if she used drugs. She'll be lucky to get supervised visits with them.
If she confesses to anything about Lucas, then she'll lose her daughter for good too (she may already be).
If she keeps her mouth shut and does her time, she'll be out of jail in a couple of years at most. 1-2 years vs life in prison? Pretty obvious choice!
Imo there are many variables here.
1. Depends on how strong EG ACTUALLY IS. And maybe how mentally ill she is.
2. Is she staying silent and following attorneys advice?
3. It takes but one slip up to give LE a subtle clue.
4. I hate stating this, but it also depends on where Lucas may be. If in a landfill the more likely she is pretty confident he will not be found or if he is, the COD MAY not be determined. After 5 weeks it might be sad but nature takes its course and evidence degrades. ( this is tough my grandson is close to this age).
5. I am pretty sure by now LE knows where and who she purchases her drugs.
6. I am still very uncertain about the accuracy of the timeline we are considering mostly due to LE silence. But I certainly respect their strategy and confidentiality.
7. EG, or so it appears, may not have lived or had a good pleasant nurturing atmosphere for her children or even herself. The situation in its entirety looks like a fluid checkerboard of moving relationships, very questionable characters and selfish behavior. Living in her current relationship is probably the best she’s ever had in her young life.
8. Most of the time there was no one around to check her behavior. EG probabably hiD much more than we know. WE don’t know if she’s been caught on video anywhere.
9. We also don’t have details about tracking her cell or the vehicle(s) they own or had access to.
10. I also appreciate the newly suggested/questioned fidelity OF EG. 3 kids while complaining of endometriosis is pretty positive results when it’s supposed to be difficult to become pregnant if diagnosis correct. Also She’s been pregnant for 27 if the last 96 months since high school. That alone is significant hormones which at times makes us crazy or at least it did me.
11. Nothing suggested it priven re EG WIULD SURPRISE ME AT THIS POINT.
12. LE members are trained and very intelligent. I have no doubt they will find him, the question is when. EG May believe she’s outsmarted everyon, but LE IS RARELY WRONG, and nothing indicated she is overly intelligent. Decieptful yes, an addict probably, questionable lifestyle for kids definitely, able to fool those close to her yes, but I do t see her getting away with this much after her April hearing date.
EXCUSE MISSPELLINGS HANDS NOT GOOD TODAY
AND ALL THIS IN IS MY VERY RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE OPINION.
