tlcya, I agree with what you've said.
My musings were mostly that maybe he intended to have her back before anyone realized she'd been pulled out of school, and hope no one would ever know. It sounds like he's done this before - check her out and then return her - and maybe that's what he intended this time. I don't think, though, that his intentions were innocent either way.
What stumps me is that once he took her out of that school and kept her past the time where LE was called and the school became involved, that's it. There's no going back. There's no Plan B where he can play innocent. He's done for, and can never come back home without criminal charges being filed and his life as he knows it will be over. The thought that he didn't try to cover his tracks, IMHO, is one of the many things that makes this case so baffling.
