My memory may be faulty but I think Janelle’s mother may have had her bedroom window open. My recollection is that she looked at her alarm clock and it was 2:20AM. That seems about right based on the distance between Hanover and the homes in Battlefield.
What troubles me is why was Janelle calling so early since Branson is so close to Springfield and what did she do after she left the Delmar address for the last time that morning and early afternoon? And showing up in a wet bathing suit underneath her street clothes seems odd. And why was she crying in the BACK seat? Why didn’t she contact the McCalls as soon as it became evident something was obviously wrong? It certainly seems to me that she suspected something or someone. If all that can be explained, then we can move onto other unanswered questions.
She was, so far as I know, not a party to any promise that Stacy had made to her parents to stay in Battlefield.
And one more thing. Why was Stacy denied permission to go to the Delmar address as told by her father. What’s up with that?
