This is a serious question, and I'm not being snarky. If you had stopped by the gas station before your child was lost, would you forget? Do you always pay in cash so that there is no electronic record? If you'd run multiple errands before your child was lost, would you forget where you'd gone? Would there be no electronic record of where you'd been?
I've been in the position of not remembering what my child was wearing. At that point, I could still have told you (and there would have been an electronic record, as I rarely pay for gas/groceries with cash) where I'd stopped that day.
If TH reacted to stress in such a way that she 1) was the last person seen with her stepson before he went missing, 2) failed to call 911 when he didn't appear from the bus, 3) had the school secretary dial 911, 4) had the school secretary call DY, 5) was surprised that DY was going to drive to Portland immediately upon hearing that her child was missing, 6) could not remember what she'd done that morning, 7) had no electronic record of her morning...then she's had the worst luck of anyone ever on this planet.
I mean, she remembered everything before Kyron went missing. She remembered that she parted with him about 150 feet from his class, waved to him, and that she left about 9:45. She remembered everything until he went missing...that short time after she waved to him, turned around and went on her way. Funny that...because even if Kyron was taken by someone else and went missing at 9:46 while Terri went about her normal everyday morning...as far as Terri was concerned, Kyron was not missing until 3:30 that afternoon when he failed to get off the bus.
If she's innocent, her timeline is: everything was normal until 3:30. WHY then, before knowing exactly WHEN Kyron was missing, would she have such problems remembering what happened after she dropped Kyron off? She remembered everything before 9:45. Why so many issues remembering afer then...remember, from 9:45 until 3:30, as far as Terri was concerned, Kryon was at school...
So why does she remember before school, but not between school and picking him up at the bus???
HINKY.
