So are you saying you cannot name the source?

Will not.

 

[raven9860]

This is all jmo...

It really makes me sad and angry that after almost 45 years, that there are still people that are unwilling to just tell the truth. Makes me wonder just how much some people are REALLY looking for the TRUTH or are just fostering a diversion. Cuz Im thinking it's the later.

Were any of the families houses ever searched? And where did the information that Cotton was NOT on "car watch" come from? TIA

I can't answer the first question. Answer to the 2nd question: From the people who were.

Can you direct me to those statements?

POST DELETED

Thank You ! I wonder why, back when this first happened and FA was saying this, no one said anything. You know the other families had to be shaking their heads. That's so very odd.

I'm assuming I can post this since it's from Rusty.

[screenshots from social media will get you in trouble here. PM that stuff.] He knew that was "not true," and was called on it.

It's gone now. Whoever needed to see it saw it.

Not the first time another family member or close friend corrects his recollection. Smh.

You mean private conversations? That would be, NO. This isn't new "news." It's just a part of a narrative no one had the emotional will to fuss about. Let it go.

Rusty was 11 years old. In all fairness; 99% of what he believes with his whole heart took place - he has no recollection of. He is re-telling what he was told.

Thank you for your response. But please don't tell me what or what not to let go of. I question a lot of things and that's ok. That's what this site is for. Just because one person says something does not make it gospel.

The admins here don't mess around.

 

[Parksestx]

My question is WHY? Why say that? Not just say it, but describe how cold it was out there watching that car. Odd.

Fair enough. Repeating a family story for decades, doesn't make you a liar - even if you know better.

 

[haleui]

It may not make him a liar but it sure makes one question how much he actually knows.

 

[just-juju]

Of course repeating it doesn't, but saying it in the first place does make one go "hmmmmm…." Why would she say he was there if he wasn't? And then you get into if someone said he wasn't - who's right? It just seems like the simplest things are made hard because no two people can tell the same story.

Ok, I won't go to bat for kindness and compassion again. I have checked myself over the years. Is the answer to my question going to get anyone closer to finding the girls? I don't ask many questions.

A feature of lying is providing excessive detail.

Edit: 7 Science-Backed Tips to Tell If Someone is Lying to You


3. Too much detail
When someone is giving you extra flowery descriptions, that might be a dead giveaway that the overly elaborate details are actually trying to cover up a lie.

"When you say to someone, 'Oh, where were you?' and they say, 'I went to the store and I needed to get eggs and milk and sugar and I almost hit a dog so I had to go slow,' and on and on, they're giving you too much detail," Berman told WebMD.

Too much unnecessary detail could signify that the individual has already put a lot of thought into how he or she will try to make a lie sound as convincing as possible.
