Found Deceased TN - Evelyn Boswell, 15 months, Sullivan County, 26 DEC 2019 *MOM ARRESTED* #5

[Arkay]

You bring up a very valid point. On top of her apparent ability to detach herself from reality, something else about her mannerisms struck me as odd. During MB's interviews, the majority of her responses seemed to "parrot" the reporter. For example, early on (1st interview, I believe) MB referred to EB in the past tense (pretty sure it was something about the bathtub) and, oh man, everyone jumped all over that. However, after replaying it a few times, I noticed the reporter utilized past tense when forming that question. When the reporter utilized past tense, MB responded in past tense. When the reporter utilized present tense, so did MB.

I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps someone here can offer some insight?

I can't say MB's motives but my sister would look for approval of what she was saying and how she was acting. For instance, if we would joke or tease she would look around for her cue for expected behavior. If we would smile and laugh then she would. She was highly functioning but had to take emotional cues from those around her.

It's a kind of forgery, in my opinion. I can't speak to MB or your sister, not knowing them, but I have a family member who is a sociopath. The tragedy of my life.

They don't feel anything inside. They learn to maneuver through the world by imitating true emotion that they see around them, but always for their own ends. They're smart and they know what the expectations are to say and to do, so they do it. Narcissists, too. They have a hidden goal, however, one which benefits them in some way.

From the very beginning, I think I said it in the first thread here, MB's repetition about baby shark, etc, sounded to me like she barely knew her daughter, and said the things she was expected to say. She tried to go with the "I love her, I want her back" stuff, but she really couldn't maintain it. Therefore, she spouted several varieties of who and where Evelyn was, not a bit of which was true.

IMO, AB is no better. What grandmother of a missing child gets out of jail and snarls at the media instead of racing to try to find her granddaughter?

I think it pertains to DHS asking her to produce the child and she wouldn’t comply.

Hmm i dunno wouldn't a charge from DCS go to just normal court since its against her? but again not sure we'll find out the kids court stuff is sealed too

i was thinking of the vallow case her charge was normal court but was that issued by someone else?

I noticed that too. She is the type of person who seems to agree with whoever she is talking to. Never having her own opinion. Disassociated Disorder sounds exactly right! MOO

Speaking for myself, I tend to point my finger rather quickly and usually for just cause. One thing that really gets my attention is a liar. I would go as far as saying that MB reminds me of a young version of LS. Both are lying liars that lie. IMO MB knows exactly what has happened to Evelyn and most likely so does AB. And if it wasn't something awful or unlawful wouldn't they tell where she is? JMO

What if what they did to her after the fact was way worse that what initially happened? They wouldn't want to tell that story.

My sister could be quite devious and manipulative when she wanted/needed to be. She would steal from you and it would be out in the open in her home. Not a care in the world for being caught.

I'm not letting MB off the hook either. Lots of people have horrific childhoods and don't end up with their baby missing. I think she knows exactly where EB is. I don't think the outcome is good at all.

My hubby is one that grew up with an evil
Mom (who has since passed away). I use the term mom loosely. His childhood was horrific. He turned 18, joined the Marines and never looked back nor went back. He never saw the abusive monster and her 10 boyfriends ever again. Her booze drugs and men were more important than her kids. She had 1/2 dozen kids all boys each with a different father half of whom she couldn’t name-like his. He’s the only one that broke free. The rest got caught up in the dysfunction and didn’t want to leave. He never really knew his brothers. They were scattered everywhere

He vowed he would be everything opposite of where he came from. He served several times in Iraq and Afghanistan honorably. He was wounded in combat and retired a few years ago. He is an amazing man. Huge heart of gold for others and helping rescue dogs (we love dogs). You would never know where he came from. He fought hard. He ignored their calls for money and everything. Had to change his number several times. They finally gave up. None of them changed. He however overcame the chaos he came from with the love of good the two of us, good people and so much more.

it can be done. It’s hard but it can be done.

I think some just don’t know how to do it or lack of coping skills and strength and it’s more comfortable to stay with what they know no matter how bad it is.

LITTLE EVELYN. WHERE ARE YOU!! You so deserve a chance away from those maniacs and with a loving family.

Hoping for a positive outcome soon

 

[Wishbone]

I hate a liar too and I agree both MB and AB know what happened to EB and want them to tell the truth. I am just not sure the “why” behind the lies
I just want little EB to be found and pray she is safe.

Most of the time I never learn the real reason the crime or incident happened. The "why" just isn't answered.

Never let a day go by without telling him how proud you are of him overcoming what he has! He is an inspiration to so many children growing up in that kind of home! God Bless him!!!!!

100% agree. MB's statements are disingenuous and by no means should she be given any slack. I think everyone agrees that she knows more than she is saying and it is in her best interest to lay it all out on the table.

That said, I too am curious about the "why". Not "why did this happen to EB" but "why is MB continuing down this path". Is she protecting someone else along with herself? If so, who...AB? If AB...why?

Today, when MB was escorted into the courtroom, she immediately looked into the gallery. She did this several times after taking her seat (between diverting her attention back to the judge). What some saw as a killer playing up to TV cameras, I saw as a child looking for the familiar faces of family. Much like a kid hitting their first homerun in little league and looking into the crowd for a parent after tagging homeplate. MB did not find those faces. She looked again and again and found no one. In that moment, she had to know she was alone. If she didn't know it (or didn't want to know it) during her entire disfunctional childhood, surely she knows it now.

Maybe that's the best thing that could happen right now. Maybe it forces her to move toward reality (unless she is otherwise incapable of doing so because of sociopathy). In that moment, any 18 year old with a "normal" functioning brain would realize that no one is going to swoop down and save them. That they have officially entered adulthood, where consequences truly exist. Where playing stupid games means winning stupid prizes.

Did MB realize that today? Did she realize that no one... not EP, HW, TBsr, TBjr or AB, not even her ever supportive Grandmother is going to help her? She is in this alone. For someone who is accustomed to living off of other people, using manipulation so others will provide for and sustain her existence... I imagine that could be an extreme "big girl panties" moment.

Or...instead of letting it affect her emotionally, she just tucked it away with a lifetime of other hurtful and disappointing moments. If that is the case, I expect she will continue on her current trajectory and we may never know what happened to EB.

Very well said, TN Hiker! Welcome to Websleuths! I think you'll fit in here quite nicely!

that’s the exact same thought I had as well when I watched it. She seemed like she was looking to see if anyone showed up for her. I feel like she recognized someone too because she gave a very small smile and then turned again. She also seemed to have that look on her face like she was nervous and embarrassed but trying to cover it up with a look of confidence. Like being the new kid walking into a class full of peers you never met and having to talk about yourself.

Who knows. I’m no expert it totally could have been condescending and smug but I just didn’t get that vibe. She’s trapped in that cell now until someone posts bond or she talks and says what happened to Evelyn. Which I think she would have done by now if Evelyn was somewhere to be found that won’t keep her in jail.
:/

I want to know Evelyn’s story and how that poor baby wound up wherever she is. As I’m sure we all do.

whats interesting to me is we had that KFC sighting last week and we've had no confirmation or more details on it

the polcie are saying no confirmed sightings still and iv brought this up before that do they mean before the amber alert which is the KFC sighting or do they mean after the amber alert was issued

and i wonder what happened with the KFC sighting was the video not kept long enough to confirm the sighting, i do find that weird a big business like KFC would have a good security system with long storage so is it possible it wasn't them?

that KFC sighting seemed like the best and most recent sighting we had at all during this cases duration

I have no more official information than you do, Ping, but I'm wondering if LE is still combing the footage, trying to make a connection. The report of that sighting came in well after the Amber Alert was issued, but the actual sighting supposedly occurred relatively close to the time of it's initial release.

I think each state handles it differently. Previously someone on one of the previous threads said in TN it would be handled by juvenile court.

 

[Grammy with experience]

When my granddaughter was born a shady couple was trying to adopt her. I got temporary custody through DSS. That couple and my daughter tried to lie to them to take the child away. People that are in the same kind of community as MB called me and told me to run. I panicked but I didn't run. My impulse was to hide, that is truth. I hope if somebody tricked MB she just stands her ground and tells the truth. I finally convinced my daughter to tell the truth. It was a long road.

A *like* just isn’t enough here. Your husband is a hero and an inspiration. It takes enormous strength to rise above and remove oneself from a toxic family environment like the one he experienced as a child.
Also - anyone who rescues animals can do no wrong in my eyes
