I'm thinking Friday. It has been my experience that LE likes to break a big news story on Friday, late in the afternoon. 1 press conference and then all of the big wigs are out of reach for the weekend. This gives the worker bees(investigators) the weekend to continue to work on tying up loose ends without having to deal with the press. They just refer them to someone higher up the food chain who conveniently is not available to answer any more questions. I hope that I am wrong, Friday seems so far away.
Hi Websleuthers, sorry I haven't posted too frequently the last couple of weeks (work has been brutal), but I finally got a chance to read everything here and get up to date.
I talk with Annasmom daily, mostly small talk just to show her my support, and I can tell you two things:
1. She doesn't know the results of the tests. If she did, I could tell by the sound of her voice. She wouldn't be able to hide that from me.
2. She's pretty much hit overload at this point and has gone into survival mode. She does what she can to take her mind off the unrelenting anticipation of the sudden ring of the telephone, the unannounced police car pulling into the driveway, the knock on the door that will change her life forever ... She tries to take her mind off it by working in the garden picking snails off the primroses, or practicing the piano and going to rehearsals and pretending that her anxiety is just about the upcoming performances. She loves you all, but can't bring herself to read the forum, because even the words of wellwishers don't allow her those rare moments of peace when she can pretend that today is just another normal day when the most important things she has to worry about are doing laundry and shopping for groceries.
If I may make a few guesses for "The Waiting Game" being played on another thread in this forum, my first guess is that LE will make the announcement at 4:50 p.m. PDT (7:50 Eastern Time) this Friday, too late for the evening news and at a transition time when the TV station B-teams take over (there are exceptions, so if any of you are reporters who work the weekend shift, I'm sure I'm not talking about you). My second guess is 4:50 p.m. Friday, May 18. My third guess is 4:50 p.m. Friday, May 25. I won't make any more guesses because I don't want to contemplate that the Waiting Game won't be over by then. :banghead:
Love to you all.:blowkiss:
