I believe JO was an easy excuse that JH would accept without question. She didnt know her lies would come out within a few days. Im not so sure Lucas wasnt at home on VD Day. My gut tells me that she was partying w someone that night & Friday night (probably many other nights too) either home or at their place.
Since her suspected drug of choice had never been identified, Im going to throw out HGB or another upper that keeps you going til the wee hours. I think she was dosing LH with a sleeping pill, Xanax, anything that would knock him out for hours. She didnt want him to see what she was doing and more importantly, didnt want her party night spoiled by a needy little boy who didnt talk right. I sense she may have lashed out & abused him because he was damaged in her eyes. I dont believe his death was planned, rather she literally overdosed him and panicked.
There families have 1000 acre ranches in the Flint Hills, sand pits, lake homes, all very private where nobody would think to look. This person would keep their mouth shut no because if the truth came out they would be ruined. Just my random thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
GHB is a short term downer/dissociative (not like the famed Salvia yet similar to observe). An hour or 2 of limited cognitive and physical ability can be expected without subsequent 'doses'.
Those who imbibe it are soon in a waking dream state and unable to coordinate their movements and reality well, if at all. It requires the user to drink water or possibly die of dehydration, depending upon dosage and frequency of dose or what else they were eating, drinking, ingesting at the time.
I will reiterate a tale of a toddler I'd brought up in the last thread: Mother and father divorced & locked into bizarre embitterment where this child became tool of pre-existing revenge and power dynamics. Mother had a few prescriptions for downers, was very volatile to men in her life, it fell to younger sisters and father to provide stability to the preschool aged boy.
The middle daughter was primary guardian who partied hard; she loved to make an event of including the little boy giving him 'bong hits' & her circle loved bringing substances for this pastime.
There was a number of occasions when the child would not wake up... because his mother left out a pill or he'd looked for one to maintain the feeling of the 'party' where everyone had given him attention and played with him
A lot of freaking out in the family to hide this from the grandfather and father; many excuses of 'gone to the park, tired himself out' as he lay comatose on the sofa or floor (as related by youngest teen in home).
Let this cautionary tale guide the process of deduction at hand.
Weighing the worth of freedom based on choices and actions of a moment suggests perhaps, a longer habit of eroding such social graces; being very much in a certain corner, reliant upon those who depend upon them and they in turn require... 'Birds of a feather'.
Perhaps this 'someone' is not in possession of such luxury as to afford a high end attorney to make their behaviour go away this time; or that the gamble can remove many ersources in one sweep.
I am curious as to when was the last time JH spoke with Lucas and how often they talked ,
Lucas could have talked with his father Friday night with EG right there, and not breathed the least hint of what was afoot. Abused children know what is at stake, in their very bones. They don't dare risk hinting at the slightest thing as long as their abuser is in the same building/block as they are.
Take that for what it is worth... I'm coming from a long history of personal experience, and over 530 foster siblings so this covers a wide range of experiences in my eyes.
and her backstory to her alleged nursing degree. ik it was verified that she is not a nurse but where did she even get the idea to post this on linkedin? did she start nursing school? apply and get rejected? aspire to be one? are one of her parents a nurse? aka is there some exposure to medicine where she is "good" at doses, for example drugging a child to keep them quiet regularly and going too far one time....

We have seen that those who are put into positions of caring for the elderly, disabled, and very young may label themselves as 'nurses' rather than personal care attendants.
Similarly, a wide range of knowledge of pharmaceuticals, substances and their interactions may be excused or accepted by carrying the 'Nurse' title.
I'm not claiming EG traded in prescriptions or dealt with those who did, however I am also not claiming that she didn't know Some One indisposed (or connection of such), who could've used the extra cash and may have paid her services in some on the side (or that the liberty was taken as granted).
Prescription drugs are often used as a currency or to curry favor, whereas illicit substances not so much.
