I was thinking all those weeks prior to TH retaining an attorney, when LE - and even Kaine - was saying that Terri was cooperative and doing all she could to help. Remember that?
Yes. She's not a criminal mastermind, if she is in fact the perp. Her cooperation, no matter how minimal it may have been, proves it. What she is, if she is guilty, is lucky. Lucky that no one saw her (or her cohort) abscond with Kyron. Lucky that the terrain in the area is vast and makes it easy to hide a body. Lucky, perhaps, that she has at least one friend who was willing to help her with Kyron. Lucky that white pickups are common.
She is also unlucky. Whether she is the perp or not, she did not intend to lose custody of her daughter, or to lose her husband, home, and Mustang. I think this because she did at least feign cooperation, and the only reason she would have had to do that is to divert suspicion from herself in order to keep home, husband, and family.
She never thought that she would be arrested for Kyron's disappearance, and so far, she is correct about that. Criminals don't undertake crimes for which they believe they will be caught. Her best tactic to avoid capture, if she is guilty, was to be completely uncooperative. That she did not take that tactic tells me that she didn't want to lose what she had. No matter what her status, her life as she knew it prior to Kyron's disappearance, is over.
