It's a smoke/fire thing for me.
I have a very hard time fathoming how any parent could what it seems these 2 have done, but her behavior is just so at odds with anything I could consider normal for a guiltless person who has suffered a horrific loss.
- "I must be in shock." People in shock don't typically say things like this, as others have noted
- What she said at the funeral - not even a little bit angry? At all? For even a second? It defies belief.
- Basically she said that he's better off dead. Such a very, very strange thing to say about your 22 month old who you earlier claimed was perfect, regardless of your religious beliefs about the afterlife.
- If he's better off dead and out of this broken world - why be worried enough about hot car deaths to research them on the Internet? If his father forgot him in the car, wouldn't that be God's will?
- Her entire demeanor at the probable cause hearing. Blank look, chewing gum, no emotion. Weird. Weird.
I have a hard time believing she's not involved to some degree but whether or not that can be proven is another story.

Great post.
Regarding the bolded bit above, LH mentioned God's will at her baby's funeral:
"I miss him with all of my heart. Would I bring him back? No. To bring him back into this broken world would be selfish," she said. "Am I angry with God? No. This is part of His plan for Ross and I. Is this our purpose? I don't know. I'm still waiting on the Lord to reveal that to me..."

I have a hard time believing she's not involved, as well.
I know that folks who follow fundamentalist teachings are taught to believe that everything has a purpose, everything is part of a Divine plan. They believe that to question why something bad has happened to them is equal to doubting that Divine plan and lacking faith, which they believe puts them at risk of falling out of God's favor and invoking his wrath.
I have former relatives-in-law who follow these types of teachings. Whenever they face trials & tribulations, they liken themselves to Job in the Old Testament. They see it as an opportunity to prove their faith to God and believe that God must have a special purpose for their lives and is testing them to prepare to use them for his glory. They also believe that those who speak against them are unjustly persecuting God's chosen and if they demonstrate their worthiness then God will vindicate them and will destroy their 'enemies'.
I posted the above info in an effort to hopefully illuminate the mindset of someone who says some of the things LH has said and to put into possible perspective some of LH's funeral comments, and not as a criticism of anyone who follows such teachings.
Nevertheless, I believe LH is involved in some manner in Cooper's death, based on many of her seemingly suspicious comments. I think LE believes so, as well, based on Det. Stoddard's testimony.
