I swore I would not follow another case like this but here I am. I have read along but not commented. There is not much I can add for any new opinion that has not already been stated to the exceptional posts and most people's thoughts.
I just want to show my support for this unfortunate child and my outrage for Maleah.
I also agree his "story" was ludicrous. Others have exceptionally pulled every piece of it apart and remarked on that and I agree entirely. I had pretty much identical thoughts and snide remarks I could have made about his three Hispanics "story" since the start (I am sure by the way Hispanics just love him for that--NOT). It is an absolutely fantastic "tale" that makes no sense. Is this man a drug addict or just, like in some other recent cases with other perps, think the more ridiculous the details and the more of them the more believable?? Does he, as well as perps in other cases with crazy stories, really think these are believable scenarios that LE and the public will buy into?? If so, well then, I will not be rude and comment on the estimation of the intelligence there. In the very unlikely chance it is true, he has my apologies
I gave her the benefit of the doubt at the beginning and I still reserve some but at minimum it is pretty clear that she at least enabled and covered for him and at maximum had involvement herself whether in this incident and/or in prior ones.
I also agree with most posters that her interviews are not helping her one bit and are doing the opposite, as his "story" did for him. The emphasis seems to be entirely on defending herself and not on the loss of her daughter and where she is, what happened to her and finding her child, Maleah!
And then there are possibly others who are covering, for instance, clearly there is the driver of the car who took him to the hospital and very likely knew or did even more. I would come forward if I were that person. If they are innocent and had no knowledge, they would be rushing to do so one would think (maybe they have, we may not know). If it was her, a friend or a relative of his, etc., I would still be doing so or do not complain when you are considered part of it or at minimum, an accessory or to have abetted or whatever the charge may be. Obstruction of justice? There are probably a few that would fit and you will also be judged for hindering the chance of this child being found, getting information, answers etc.
There really is not much more to say other than this child was an undeserved innocent and take a bit of unsolicited advice, mother of child, that is why no one wants to hear you proclaiming your innocence, your focus should be on the true innocent, your daughter, and on finding her. Your first interview with your activist said you need to be telling all that you had not provided and I sure hope you have, be honest and let the chips fall where they may. LE should have been your first stop, not the media.
I won't hold my breath with regard to anyone taking true accountability. I would say to him, do the right thing and tell where she is but I do not think we will see him do that, he is not man enough to do the right thing and take his consequences.
Going back to just reading on this one. Just wanted to say I am praying for this child and that she be found and simply wanted to add my support for her and state my agreement with the other outraged, caring posters here.
All jmo.
