I just woke up for the day and wanted to mention a few things. First, I made a timeline and a list of the people associated with this case. I have been unable to edit it. I want to make several corrections, additions, etc. But I can't. I emailed someone about it, but I haven't heard anything. If there is a mod who can help, that would be great. My timeline is on the front of the thread, and I don't want to mislead or confuse people. If you happen to see the timeline, please don't be frustrated. I know that it needs some additional work. Thanks!
Secondly, it's clear to me that we have established two strong possibilities for motive. One is this notion that AM believes he is the father of one or more of the girls. The second is that he is a child sex offender who panicked because the girl or girls he preyed on were about to move to Arizona. Both seem like strong possibilities.
We also have some clearer information about how the abduction was carried out. We know that AM and TM were at the house in Whiteville. We know that TM saw AM kill JoAnn and maybe also Adrienne. We know that TM has said she transported their bodies across state lines. We know that AM and TM left in separate vehicles on their way back to Union County, Mississippi. We know that they dumped one vehicle along the way. We know that they rented a trailer of some kind. I think we can imagine some likely scenarios. JoAnn was killed in the garage, where they had a tarp ready for her. Then Adrienne was killed and placed in a second tarp. AM then placed the bodies in the trailer. Then the two retrieved the other two girls from the house with a story about how they were leaving for Arizona. Since they had a trailer, this probably seemed to make sense. The girls might have fallen asleep again on the way to Mississippi. If not, AM and TM could have concocted a story about why they had to leave the other vehicle on the side of the road.
The above is mostly speculation, and it's really not all that importance except that it establishes a scenario where both girls have no idea that they have been kidnapped. If they believe they are on their way to Arizona, they might not suspect anything for several days. While they don't have the trailer at this point, AM could have concocted another story about how the trailer and U-Haul were being driven by JoAnn and Gary or some other individual. But the girls are old enough to read the billboards. At some point, they must have discovered the truth or are about to discover the truth. It seems like that will be a volatile period.
Bobbi Booth, the sister of TM, has thrown herself into this saga. People who do that often have issues of their own. But I don't think we should discredit anything that she tells us just because she hasn't seen her sister in some time. Remember that there are other family members who could have told her about their own interactions and conversations with TM. At the same time, we probably shouldn't take anything she says as gospel.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether he is actually a biological parent to one or both the younger two girls. The truth is that we just don't know. And it really matters very little. It only plays to motive, and that motive could exist even if he is wrong in thinking that is a father to one or both of the girls.
That's all that I have for now. The most important thing is that they find those two girls. Please post information on your Facebook page and help to spread the word. It's beginning to look like justice will rely on the assistance of the public. You may need to inconvenience yourself a little to help get the message out about these girls. Just do it. If anyone can figure out how we can print and distribute flyers, please let me and others know. If would be great if there was a link to a PDF that we could print and tack up at work and at other places.
