On that day, in our area, it was not dark until about 6 m..I have pics from the day...and have wondered if he waited to do it until dark, but prior to notifying LE....the van and phone did not have to have been dropped on that day....just thoughts
I take it the children rode the bus home? I wonder if they have been interviewed separately and how soon after JR was reported missing? If LE was going with the left voluntarily theory the first day or so, there might have been a delay. I have a hard time believing LE was going with the left voluntarily scenario after the phone and van were found. Even if LE believed the "drastically changed JR" storyline, the abandoned van and the discarded phone (that stayed charged so miraculously long) must have had them considering foul play. All MOO
