I saw at least three different interviews yesterday, where the wife was present. During the GMA interview, the hubby's family were the ones who were tearful and begging for help from the likes of Mrs. Clinton. When her MIL began to cry at one point, the wife tried to soothe her by caressing the MIL's arm.
After that, I saw at least two, if not more, interviews with other media outlets. I think they were all from yesterday because the wife had on the same clothes.
In the morning interview, the wife seemed composed. Serious, but not crying, it was her hubby's mom and sis who were crying. Later on, one interview was just the wife, and you could hear the emotion in her voice and the 'verge' of tears. Another interview was with her SIL and the wife was again very emotional in her plea for help to find her husband and bring him home.
I totally believe this woman. We can't take the accounts and back them up to each other and say she's not telling the same story. I think she is and it's the news agencies and THEIR SPIN that's making the story confusing.
This woman has been traumatized. Her world is upside down and her mission at this point, is to bring her husband home so she can bury him. She knows she's already lost him, but she can't stand the thought that he's either left out in the water, or that the perps COULD have his body hidden somewhere.
The wife is trying to get help and knows she needs to speak understandably. She can't say it through sobs and she's trying to maintain some sort of dignity. It's hard when this is such an emotional issue, especially because this is HER husband and HER life.
I honestly have been there, done that. Not from murder, but losing someone and trying to MAINTAIN, to be strong, when you're dying inside. But if you talk about the same thing over and over and over, at first you can hold back, but when, in this case, still nothing seems to be happening, or coming to a conclusion, you get desparate. She's started to sound desparate by the third interview I saw her in yesterday.
Oh, and I wouldn't necessarily believe what the Mexican authorities are saying either. I watched one case out of Nuevo Larado (sp?) where two 19 or 20 yo girls disappeared. Her family was in contact with local LE and they couldn't find the girls. LE told EVERYONE, at the time, all of the disappearances of US citizens, had to do with drugs. The family knew that was NOT true. Low and behold, about a month after the women had been missing, the family was in Mexico looking for the girls on their own, and found their car stored at the police facility and it had been there, all along.....These two young women are still missing and this was from, IIRC, 2004. Actually, at that time and over a year period, More than 45 Americans had disappeared just from THAT city alone. That's the same city where the sheriff was elected and the same day, I believe, he was gunned down in the street in broad daylight.
JMHO
