froglady said:I thought dr phil didn't pay his guests?
The guests expenses, fights, hotels, limousine etc. are all paid for and after the show they receive "parting gifts".
So YES they are paid. Just not directly with cash or a cheque. Usually it is a prepaid credit card.
I don't think it was premeditation. For me it seems something happened to Erica after january 5, when she met her bio mom, supervised by Casey. They were supposed to meet again, so Casey first suggested Erica didn't want it and then procured a fake message from the girl, attempting to cut out all the contact with the bio mom. By the way, all this "I love Casey and Sandy sooo much and they are my real parents" stuff makes me feel nauseating. uke:
One thing we do know, and that's in Casey's own words, that Erica was no longer thought of as part of her family by June 10, 2012, because she wrote on her "Meet Our Family" web page, "I have 3 boys and 2 girls. My oldest is 20 and the youngest is a boy and he is 6yrs. My kids are my life."
THAT 6 year old was born June 10, 2006. Her two girls she mentions were Brook and Sadie.
ERICA IS MISSING FROM THE LIST !!

Even "IF" (rolling eyes here!) Erica went off to live with a grandmother, a mother wouldn't have excluded her but would have stated something like, example, "I have three girls, two at home but one is living with her grandmother."
Even when a child in the family passes away, a mother will still include that child in the list, for example, "I have X number of children alive and one that passed away." Some Mothers will even include miscarriages in the head count. A mother never forgets the count of her chickens !!
http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/parsons-attorney-says-key-whole-case-ericas-biolog/nZnZH/Sherrill said the key to the whole case is Carolyn, who is Erica's biological mother. He said Carolyn is the one who investigators should be talking to.
Sherrill said she is the one who put Casey Parsons, Erica's adoptive mother, in touch with "Nan" in the first place.

Where's the proof that she put her in touch with Nan? She says there is no Nan and never was. Oh that's right she deleted all of that info....right. :facepalm:
Hmmmm I think those email/FB messages point to this not being true.lawyer putting the blame on bio mom.. and more at link

So true. A friend lost a baby in '99- ask her how many kids she has, she'll say "2 on earth and 1 in heaven"... My daughter doesn't live at home, and it wouldn't even occur to me to neglect to mention her if someone asked how many kids I have- heck, I always follow up with "and a grandbaby, too!"
Re: CP posing as Erica in the emails between the CP's... my heart shatters when I wonder what poor Erica was told as to why she was no longer going to see her biomom. My hubby was adopted and never once stopped wondering who/what/where/why/how as far as his birthmom went.
