I tend to agree with NancyA. It makes logical sense. If they're friends of Terri's and she's convinced them that she's being railroaded, then perhaps they would support her in the means of advice or moral support. If they're truly innocent, they could do so with a fairly confident feeling akin to 'What have I got to lose?'
However, let's say that's not it. I have trouble thinking that anyone can push aside Terri's odd behavior, the failed polys, her unknown whereabouts. I got blocked from commenting on the Missing Kyron FB early on because it was still a Pro Terri Society at that point, LOL.
Could Terri have convinced her friends that Kaine (or another relative) was abusing Kyron in some way? That he was in danger and that if she could just get Kyron away that she'd take care of the rest? He wouldn't, in this scenario, have actually been in danger, of course, but it would be a way to get him away (underground) without actually having to kill Kyron. Similar to that case of the baby abducted amd hidden in the box in the Panhandle. Sad how many cases that there are where I can't even remember the little precious' name.
I'm not going to chalk anything up to PPD. But the only real motive I can see is that she did want to dote on the daughter and get Kyron out of the picture, as has been speculated widely before. But the only non-innocent (and I use that term loosely) reason for her friends not to cooperate would be if they actually had something to do with his disappearance, and it takes a pretty strong drive and bond to kill a child for someone. I don't know the statistics, but how many women have helped women murder or dispose of their children, step or otherwise?
At least I hope that's it. Sometimes I start to feel fatalistic and get annoyed at Positive Pollys trying to convince themselves that someone is alive, but in this case I just can't imagine a scenario where Terri received assistance killing Kyron. Who would do that? Unless, of course, it's someone who had something to gain from her. Like a new life or a vested interest in hurting Kaine.
Which is why my stomach dropped when the hit/affair stuff came out.
