The outer banks are 3 to 3 1/2 hours one way. So, yeah, that's an indication to me that the M-I-L wanted to move in for those three days every week. Free babysitting or not, having an in-law living with you half of every month would be a bit much even if you liked them. It's been made abundantly clear that she and Jason couldn't stand one another.

Note: Garage door was closed all the way when MF arrived at approximately 1pm ish that day. There were earlier incorrect assumptions made that the garage door must have been open.
That does not mean a door somewhere in the house was left unlocked.
We will never know.
I heard Meredith Fisher say that 'Michelle wanted her mother to care for the new baby, Rylan.' Not that M-I-L 'wanted to move in.' In fact, didn't Mrs. Fischer say she wasn't wild about having to do all those stairs, because of her hip or knee surgeries? Has it been stated that Linda Fisher wanted to live at the northern outer banks or the southern outer banks? There is a definite difference in drive time between the two areas. We can make it down to Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle in a couple hours. If so, I missed that. As an aside, I wouldn't have minded my MIL living with us. When she did come down to visit, before she passed away, she often stayed for weeks at a time. It was a long trip, expensive flying, she stayed as long as she wanted or could be away from her home. Our situation now is, we live right next door to our youngest daughters family, so we are in a position to offer our help when ever necessary. They had three little boys in less than 2 yrs., so our help was definitely wanted and appreciated.
I find it doubtful that Michelle would have left any doors, or windows for that matter, unlocked with Jason out of town and her alone with a small child. With all the talk previously about the trailer park behind them, it's not a logical consideration.

UT OH.
There were NO parts of the 911 call that were altered or deleted !!
Only parts that were inaudible.
So much for the white noise or decisions that were made in the Judge's chambers.
OMG
Why?
Michelle walked Shelly out to her car around 10:30 pm, and she testified she felt someone was watching them that nite.
Who is to say someone did not slip into the house at the time and wait for Michelle to go to bed?
Or,even, trying the garage door to see if it opened?
Front door locked. Patio door locked. Garage door unlocked. Mud room door (I forget)
