people cover for people all the time. They cover for friends and loved ones, sometimes for hours, days, months and years. That clearly is happening here. It is not clear to me who is responsible for her being missing. But, I do not feel he is 100% to blame. Getting a lawyer that specializes in DP doesn't even make me think he is 1% responsible. The limping, bit marks, and everything else doesn't make him him guilty either. It makes it questionable. But those could be caused by someone else during this whole thing, as explained yesterday.
I grew up with a family and one of the guys was involved in a drunk driving accident where he killed a guy, clear as day, about six months ago. There was a passanger in the vehicle and after the accident, they left him and went to a house where more people were sitting. Hours go by as they sleep it off and decide to do nothing about it. That is until, they get a phone call from a reliable source that has seen the police report and has put two and two together and figured out who was responsible. Reluctantly, he turns himself in, but had it not been for the phone call, all these people would have been protecting this fool (the doll I know) who killed an innocent man. I know my story isn't as drastic, but it was very fresh and personal.
