So, the hotel room rumor was true (that they stayed there) but the rumor that they trashed the place, had wild parties, etc is either not true or not confirmed.
I think this is what I find curious: "A source close to the investigation interviewed for this report confirmed that during the initial stages of the investigation, the county paid for White and Thomas to stay in the hotel room.
However, after authorities became suspicious about what Thomas and White were telling them, the county stopped paying for the room."
Why would they have them leave their home to begin with? Does anyone know of any other missing child cases (actual missing child...not missing child that later turned out to be killed by parents/family/persons in the home) where the family was asked to leave the home at the outset of the investigation? And I seem to recall that they were not on "house arrest" but their movements were "restricted" - I thought we were told restricted to their own home bu clearly not.
What made LE realize the story was not on the up and up - days in to the investigation? I wonder how many days in? The day they admitted they left the kids at home? Or did something else come up that we just don't know about yet?
Glad we have more info and glad reporters like Cameron Austin are still probing. But, for me, this is just more affirmation that this will be a sad and messy case. I think more tangles and snags will come to light.

I did a double take at first as I thought I had accidentally posted twice.
