That just about sums it up, IMO.I’m still trying to catch up so I may have missed something. The accounts are not necessarily inconsistent IMO.
- Mom/Grandma saw Summer head home.
- They didn’t actually see her enter the home and therefore can’t say that she DID get home.
- Summer went inside while brothers were playing online.
- At some point, she left. Brothers may have heard a door open/close and assumed it was her, or they saw her out of the corners of their eyes. Kids on Roblox or whatever aren’t exactly paying attention to their surroundings.
- LE can’t say that she DID return or leave home, because the brothers didn’t actually see her return or leave.
- Times are still unclear because no one checked the time - they were busy gardening or playing. Maybe if the brothers could say “I heard Summer around the time I edited my avatar/searched for cool Minecraft videos” then LE could check the game/YouTube logs. But the time fuzziness doesn’t strike me as odd or nefarious, particularly for a late summer afternoon. Temporal markers like a school bus don’t exist, and they don’t have neighbors (as in, a certain neighborhood who is on a strict schedule).
It was a day like any other day until it wasn't.
