I don't think BD or CD are directly involved in HD's disappearance, nor do they have knowledge of where she is. However, it's clear to me that BD has been deceptive in her interviews and positioning answers to avoid negativity on her and initially SA. Imo, she's done a lot of dancing around poly dates, reasons for failure... She released the bloodhound information prematurely and knowing LE had not authorized it because, imo, it seemed to support SA's story of what HD allegedly told him. She knew SA had lost his job the day of HD's disappearance and lied about him coming home from work; never correcting her "misspeak" on the subject until pressed by Nancy Grace. She said SA didn't live with them at first, and then fessed up to him living there for several months.
Imo, her deceptive statements on NG were in attempt to deter people from making predictable assumptions that HD had runaway or that SA was somehow involved. She wants her girl back home asap, no doubt about it. But, she should have been honest and explained why these seemingly damaging facts have nothing to do with HD's disappearance (in her opinion). With so many inconsistencies made to a million people on national tv, I am puzzled why people don't believe LE's statement about inconsistent stories impeding the investigation. I also don't understand all the passes and statements that there is nothing unusual about this family situation. Every family has a degree of dysfunction and the Cleavers are a thing of the past, I agree. But, is it really normal and acceptable to have an immature 25 year old man living with a 33 year old single mom of two teenagers who don't feel comfortable with him? And, they are all living 50 yards from the almost-ex husband and his girlfriend and baby. And, there is at least pot (and I expect more) around the house with 2 teenagers running in and out of the house. And, the dad, girlfriend and new baby are illegally living in their house. And, dad is arrested twice for possession in one year. And, it's normal for HD to be posting about dad not being able to care for her and hating him and his girlfriend for having a child. And, a 13 year old girl is wandering the streets unaccounted for as she pleases. And, no one knows she's missing for at least a day? Well, you get my point. I'm not seeing this family as functional on any level (don't shoot me!).
I feel terribly for BD and CD, but I can't say they are LE's victims or that they are a normal dysfunctional family and that the adults' lives didn't contribute to HD's disappearance. Not yet. A child can go missing from any family; it's scary that it can happen to any of us. But, HD may well have left on her own accord initially. If so, she's 13 and she needs to found - it's not safe for her to be out there. But, if she does come home or is found alive, I'm not so sure she should be returned to her mom and dad until some changes are made. I would want to make sure it was truly a safe environment and that whatever had caused such a drastic reactionary measure by a young teen was dealt with properly. It would be great if this terrible situation ended with HD coming home and this family rebuilding and creating a stronger foundation for all of them. I'm rooting for them all, but the children comes first. Right now, finding Hailey comes first and is the only thing matters. I hope her parents feel that it is the ONLY thing matters and just tell it like it is...
