Any other locals watching Channel 3 hear Megan Boatright say the police had been called to the Palmgren residence today because of some type of dispute?

this is the first I have seen this about the kids. I tried to find the original article on chattanoogan.com but was unable to. I am naturally leery about how accurate reporting is BUT let's assume the essence of this account is true. I don't think it speaks to mental illness. I think it speaks to betrayal and intentionally provoking someone.
Think about it....she is presumably out of town visiting friends. She takes the kids shopping. While shopping the kids are gone. Calling the police is the normal response. I would think the police asked her to speculate about who would take her kids. Then, oops, silly woman, they are just with a friend. This doesn't sound like some innocent incident. Frankly, it enrages me as I am thinking this through.
In some cases I think it is easier to remain open-minded about the possibility of mental-illness manifesting in paranoia and delusion. In this case Gail apparently was no more paranoid or delusional than BCBS. I mean they terminated his employment (I did see in the same article BCBS sited Gail's disappearance was a work place distraction....I don't think that is true...I may be wrong, tho.
Seriously, now I am really upset....poor Gail....shopping and her children disappear...good grief!!!

Wow. I wonder if the whole family didn't want her in there or if it is just MP?
Another snippet:
Durham says she's not sure why services are being held at St. Peter's Episcopal. She says Gail attended a Catholic church on Signal Mountain.
Clive Bonnick the man who became involved in search efforts after Palmgren's disappearance has also been told to leave.
Matt Palmgren's attorney guarded front doors until 11:00 a.m. when memorial started.
Don't know what the dispute was about, but there were three Signal squad cars parked on Ridgerock on Matt's side of the street close to his house, late this afternoon, i dont know how long they were there. Also, I'm a local and was present at the services today. For those a wondering....Tammy wasn't at the services.
You know, I was telling my husband about what happened at the funeral today with the drama and the reporters there covering it (which didn't have to happen). And I told him that even after next week's press conference, I am going to leave the name Palmgren on my Google alerts because I just know that we are going to hear more news in the future.
I didn't expect it quite so soon . . . but I can't say I'm surprised.
I have an inkling she was at the house. IMO
I watched the news at 11 on live stream and there wasn't anything additional reported, except the infomation of there being 6 officers on the scene. Here's a video of AD and more:

ETA: It's very telling all the LE presence at the funeral. What exactly it's telling is up to interpretation, IMO, JMO, etc.
Suzier, I get where you are coming from. One could easily make an argument that MP was laying the groundwork for Gail appearing to be mentally ill to perhaps explain an apparent suicide. Sounds diabolical, but this type of premeditation is supported by his statements prior to and after her disappearance. I have yet to see an explanation of why he did not attend the work conference that weekend, what car was purchased by he and his GF, and why he returned early. Circumstantial I know, but incredibly hinky...
Given Matt called LE when he saw Arlene on Ridge Rock (or W Road, I can't remember which, it was near the house) it wouldn't surprise me if he asked for police to be at the funeral. What surprises me is that they were there and in a relatively large number. Were six officers needed to keep, what, two or three people at bay? Or perhaps the media presence there was bigger than expected?
