Hi all. Been trying to keep up the past few days but I'm no longer too sick to carry on with my life, lol, so needless to say I've been busy trying to get back into the swing of things and while I would rather be here since this case occupies so much of my mind, I have to carry on with my own stuff. (laundry. ..lots and lots of laundry...and 3 birthdays, 2 Dr appts., yada yada.)
Since the report surfaced about living conditions, I have been struggling for something to say, and honestly I am still at a loss for words. Yes, I can understand a mess. Heck my own house feels like a minor Hades to me right now because of my being out of town and then coming home too sick to do anything but breathe, but it's still clean enough that if my in laws dropped in, I wouldn't be worried to let them through the door (although I probably panic if they went near my room, lol).
IMO This doesn't sound like it was a recent turn of events. If rotten food was not normal, then someone would take the initiative to clean it up. There were people all old enough to run a dishwasher in that house and if they were used to it being clean, they would pitch in. I know my family does. I may not like how they do it sometimes (hubby is like "look, I did all the laundry!" and I'm thinking...Whites and darks together? At once? You washed my cashmere?! Can you fold as you pull them out of the dryer or must they all go in a mountainous pile in front of our bed?...anyway, I digress) but my point is that things get that way because everyone is used to it and no one cares because it is the norm. If it wasn't something the family was used to, someone would have tended to it. Does that make sense?
The pictures of the front of their house remind me of a old neighbor we had that had the most beautiful gardens in her yard, but the inside of her house was a nightmare. My daughters never wanted to play there because of the mess. When TM and I became friendlier and discussed future meet ups, they were always elsewhere. I had invited her family to my home but was never invited to theirs. I got a "we will meet you if you come to MB" but no invitation to visit with them there. This makes me think even more so that while conditions may be worse now, they were not unusual.
I hope we hear more about the inside of the house, not because I want to examine the mess, but I have an idea niggling in the back of my brain that there may be more to the unlivable conditions upstairs.
The fact that LE learned something that caused concern and that certain members of the M family are working with the investigation leads me to believe some people do know a lot more and because of who they are, it could be ages before we know a lot of things. Sometimes it feels like we are just fed enough to keep us talking and speculating. I hope we get way more than that Monday.
Heather needs to be found.
