I agree with everything you said in your well-written post.
I speculate that SA is bombarding BD with all kinds of stories about how everyone else including LE is wrong, that he would never hurt HD, everyone is telling untruths, poor little old me.... etc., etc.
And she is blinded by love or lust or whatever, and is totally being bamboozled by SA.
I can see this happening because it almost happened to me, but in a less tragic way -- it concerned $$ that was stolen from a co-op association. This man had lied to his wife and everyone about his entire life. When I found out the truth, practically no one would listen. Ultimately, his wife believed him until she came face-to-face with all the lies and could not ignore then.
These types of people (I believe they are sociopaths) are really good at what they do. SA may not be the brightest of the brightest, but it is my opinion that he has BD believing him, and thus this timeline was constructed and presented to the public.
The only thing wrong with the picture is that the timeline pretty much forgets to account for SA's movements on December 28th (pretty much no mention) which leave a pretty glaring and gaping hole in it.
There is not much to be done for BD right now. She will not believe anything bad of SA until there is absolute proof that he did something to Hailey. IMO law enforcement knows this and are only giving her the basic facts because they know she will pass everything along to SA.
I continue to pray that Hailey is found soon and I pray for her daily.
Thank you for this Penelope..especially the personal details of your having dealt with a true sociopath..It is frightening just how evil they can be..The types like SA use their gift of being master manipulators to get what they want and leave the little "pawns" left by the wayside to pick up the pieces of their broken lives that the sociopath has come in and wrecked..
You hit the nail on the head with this..I believe this is exactly what is going on and exactly why Hailey's case is on this Rockin' Roller Coaster..and its got Shawn Adkins at its helm..
I think SA sat back in Dunn at Grandmas just taking it all in..as everyday he sat on the porch for literal; hours watching as the searchers desperately were looking for Hailey..just eerily staring..I think this brought this monster pleasure..as well as gave him a renewed sense of empowerment..Realizing he was in control of the entire investigation..he is the only one who knows where Hailey is..
I think he realized how easily he could have Billie back wrapped around his lil' finger{I mean for heavens sake the woman was calling and his fam was saying he wouldn't talk to her..she was practically singing his praises even when he was not in contact with her.. He realized that Billie would be key to turning this entire thing around..Billie played right into the devil's hand..
I think he took what LE "had on him" and came up with the simplest of explanations to fit the time frame that he knew LE had probs with..He thought if I can first convince Billie of this..have her back on my side..that he could possibly "win"{and I think you know what I mean by win}..
I think he knew to keep the "alibis" extremely simple..nothing outlandish or overly detailed.. once Billie was lapping it up..believing and hanging on his every word..so happy that when this was "all cleared up" they really could be together.. well you better believe that not only did she play right into his hand but any and all info..even the tiniest of detail that she as the mother were privy to by LE..every last syllable was played right out of her..SA is playing her like a fiddle IMO..and that is what we are seeing on this latest neck breaker of a turn that we just made on this roller coaster ride that has Shawn Adkins at the helm and thinking that he is in control of it all..
Hell..he has now got an entirely different..full of bs..inaccuracies of a timeline of events published ..derailing or attempting to literally hijack and derail the entire investigation.. has got the victim's mom Billie "calling out" LE now.. over half of her beliefs are now totally AGAINST what LE have stated in court docs..and has a small posse thats bought it hook..line..and..sinker..
And now hearing this latest from LE today and the remarks about "backward investigation"..well IMO that is because LE sees what exactly is unfolding before their eyes..I think they've been scared that Billie would play right into his hand..and I believe that is why LE is not sharing major details with Billie....
I just feel they absolutely know for certain what and who is attempting to take over and control this entire investigation..but I am hoping that LE is a step ahead and realizes its so much more than just an investigation..that its a 13yr old little girl..and a whole helluva alotta ppls lives that are being affected by whats become of this little girl.. And are not gonna let SA make a game out of this little girls life nor the community that loves her...
SA you are not smarter..and you've got no idea whats in store for you... YOu don;t just harm a precious innocent child..and then take her mom for ride with full intentions of outwitting the entire investigation .
You've got hell to pay for what it certainly seems as tho youve done to this precious child..
