If RZ was looking to escape. She had the perfect opportunity as she was at the airport numerous times all day and into the evening. Why wouldnt she just jump on the plane with her sister?
IMO, RZ was in HELP mode. Doing everything she could to make things easier for the family (including DS, as she picked her sister up from the airport) and her boyfriend. IMO, she was putting others needs before her own that day - - Right up until 10:30 that night when she last spoke or texted with Mary.....her plan was to take JS food and clothes to the hospital the next morning. Her actions the entire day were the actions of someone who just wanted to help and relieve any stressful matters from for JS and DS so they can focus only on their son. Yes I am sure she was extremely upset about Max, but her actions for the ENTIRE day show she was in help mode not suicide mode. Why would she want to put yet another horrible tragedy in her boyfriends lap when all she did all day was try to help in whatever ways she could?
Im sorry, but I just dont think your theory adds up to what is actually known of what RZs actions actually PROVED to be that entire day following Maxs accident.
All my opinion.
Im pointing out that shes had a long unstable history of fleeing from problems, even when that required a physical move and uprooting her and her then husbands lives. Moving away is a pretty drastic solution. Doing it more than once does not fit with the image put forth here of the strong, emotionally resilient mentally healthy Rebecca. Its an image of a woman who cant cope.
She also kept repeating these affairs and then return-to-the-marriage-and runroutine. An emotional healthy person does not keep repeating destructive behaviors that bring them misery.
No plane ride would allow her to escape from the investigators looking into the suspicious death of the little child. She had no escape from answering their questions.
She had no idea at that point if they would believe her story...or if the Investigators would do to HER what the Plaintiffs are doing with AS, try to build a case for homicide around the only two people in the house with Max. Nit-picking every detail, criticizing everything she said, finding ways to discredit her version of events, tie her to staging the scene, tie her a murder. Imagine...she might have faced a board of sleuthers here at WS.
One thing she knew that night, no amount of helping was going to placate a grieving hysterical Mother. And the older kids who adored Max and disrespected her...would have new venom to throw at her. The future was looking inescapably heinous.
Sure she could have gotten on a plane...but how would that look to the investigators?
Rebecca had finally found herself in a situation with no where to run or hide.
The investigator kept calling her. NR called her. She was being pushed for answers.
