I wholeheartedly agree. If the internet person exists, there would be plenty on the hard drive. Even if he destroyed the hard drive, LE can go to facebook, or his e-mail provider. There's no way to hide this stuff nowadays.

The kids at the Morenci Elementary did have school Wednesday.

Well, at least Thanksgiving holiday was Thursday and Friday. I don't know what Record Day is. Almost sounds like something that the kids would be out of school for? Locals want to chime in?

Do we have a basic time-line?
Sort of. The boys were seen in their backyard 2:30pm Thursday. And 1:30pm Friday may have been when Dad called his friend for help.

Chief Weeks said investigators particularly need to know where the boys were from 2:30 p.m. Thursday to 1:30 p.m. Friday.

What time were they reported missing and by Whom?
On "The Early Show" Monday, Pat Brown, a criminal profiler, said the father's story is the "biggest bunch of bull I ever heard."
"It's a bogus story," she said.
"Doesn't make a darn bit of sense. We're talking about a man who he just wants the children to go back to the mother, so he can commit suicide. Why doesn't he simply drive them over there and drop the children himself or have his mother do it? Why does he call some stranger, and oh, by the way, he can't even give the police the woman's address or phone number? They have no idea how he even contacted her. Yeah, he has no record on his cell phone. He has no record on his Internet. It's a bogus story."
Brown said the spelling of the mystery woman's name is "curious."
She said, "If I'm reading correctly, this is the spelling he gave to the police: he said Joann, without an e. His mother's name is Roxaan, which is fascinating, because a lot of times [if] you try to come up with a phony name you will pick something close to what you already know. So, it's hard to come up with something completely unknown to you say, let me think, I know a guy named Joe - or Joann like my mother's name. I think he made up the names.
"And that suicide attempt? Don't buy that, either. How do you fail to hang yourself? Almost everybody who tries can do it successfully. I think he's pretending to be in insane; that's just his defense starting to set up there."
So what does Brown think happened to the boys?

After the one relative described him as eccentrically intelligent I started looking for Joan versus Joann's, Tailor versus Taylor, there is a Joan street in Taylor MI but that is sixty miles away, there is a realtor named Joann Taylor with empty listings, but she too is 50-60 miles away.
Found a Mark and Joann Taylor as a married couple in the UK, which could to the online connection? But obviously nothing to do with the kids.
Just looking for that nugget of truth in the lie, like Casey Anthony saying she thinks Caylee is close by.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/29/earlyshow/main7099072.shtmlAfter failing in a suicide attempt, 39-year-old John Skelton told police he gave his three sons - Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner - to a woman with whom he had maintained an online relationship for several years. But so far, CBS News National Correspondent Jeff Glor reports, investigators have found no trace of the woman or the three boys.
"We've seen this before: Caylee Anthony, the nanny with Caylee Anthony. She claimed this woman ran off with their kids. Luckily they've been able to find little Casey and Caylee is in prison going to trial. We have people who say somebody else took their kid, and if you can't prove somebody else didn't take their kid or do something to them - you have to have that physical proof. That's what he may hope they won't find and police hope will."
