I think we’ll be stunned if and when we find out what happened. I think LE and the public got tunnel vision because Sherrill was an attractive, discreet, independent single mother, and Suzy dated bad boys. Sherrill could’ve gotten too close to a client and/or their business. Suzy might’ve upset the wrong group or people. If LE explored those options they didn’t come up with anything. It bothers me no one seemed to look into the McCalls. It was important to Mrs. McCall for people to know Stacy didn’t usually hang out with Suzy. Yet Stacy told someone at the gym where she worked she was scared for Sherrill. Did Mrs. McCall know as much of Stacy’s business as she thought?
Stacy took medicine for migraines and an antidepressant. Why was a 17 or 18 year old taking antidepressants? Maybe it’s not our business but if Stacy had been the victim of a crime or had emotional issues, it could’ve opened new doors. Antidepressants weren’t nearly as common in 1990.
I’m not pointing fingers but it’s interesting they disappeared when Stacy happened to be spending the night.
Did the abductors 'have to' take ALL 3? We assume yes and Stacy was an unfortunate victim. After all she was not at her house.
Wow, good points all....with the McCalls.....it would seem they were all about keeping their daughter 'clean' and 'close'.
I was always struck that Stacy was permitted to travel to Branson, at night, after attending parties. Yes, she called her parent's and mom was relieved blah blah blah but Stacy TOLD vs asked. Was that habitual?
Branson is an hour's drive (from Spfld) and at that time hi-way 65 was still 2-lane with LOTs of hills. (Stacy and Susie both had 4 cylinder cars, my 6 cylinder had issues on those hills!)
If they went the other route, still 2-lane plus LOTS of curves. Dangerous any time of day.
Was it a last minute decision to abandon the 'graduation lock-in'...I believe it was. Had Stacy begun to run with the 'wrong crowd' was that why she ditched the 'safe' activity? Janelle looked like she was on 'something' and had been for awhile, look at the graduation photo. 'Gaunt' comes to mind.
Interesting.....Stacy was on antidepressants? We now know those can 'back fire' with teens. Besides that though, depression can take away your ability to function in everyday life but not so with Stacy?
Side bar: My daughter suffers from debilitating migraines, she has difficulty going anywhere besides a quiet, dark, room and yes, she's on migraine meds. My point: despite migraines, Stacy seems to have been an vital, independent, socially active person.
Good point. Stacy does seem like the 'perfect' daughter. Nobody's perfect.
