Idk ... Hearing about his history has made me look at him differently. He's a monster and any woman that marries a monster is no better but ... I think he may be trying to hard to hide his emotions. I wonder if he isn't afraid to express his love for Jenise out of fear that it will be read as something more. If you pretend you didn't really notice her or even much like her then you can't be accused of being overly invested in her, ya know? Defending him makes me feel dirty but I'm afraid we are way off base this time and the truth is going to be harder to accept.
I appreciate what you're saying :hug: ....but respectfully I can't see what you are seeing. I had a poor opinion of his grasp of human emotion and empathy/concern when he uttered things like 'spoiled brat', and implied entitlement by the victim, and sibling resentment in regards to said entitlement, when speaking of his missing/endangered baby girl. (and the media editing can only work with words he uttered. In what positive way did he say spoiled brat, always gets her way, older ones can't stand it? Not buying the media is making him look bad He's doing just fine on his own.) Quite frankly, if any of us would have uttered any of those phrases regarding the victim here on Websleuths, we'd be in violation of TOS for victim blaming and name calling. :tos:
I'm of the opinion he has not been, nor ever will be invested (overly or otherwise) in the care or keeping (or even the
appearance of the care and keeping) of
any of his children, step or otherwise. He's had child molestation charges brought against him regarding a stepchild, and agreed to plead guilty to assaulting the babysitter. And at his first opportunity (before we knew about the molestation charge) he called his missing daughter a spoiled brat on network news, and implied her siblings resented her. And though his daughter 'always checks in' he waited an entire day to have someone else call police about her being missing, and missing
Every. Single. Check- in (!) she allegedly always has. :rant:
I think the only emotions he may be hiding (depending on what one believes happened to Jenise), and not hiding too terribly well is anger/resignation.
-anger/resignation, that Jenise let something happen to herself...and annoyed that this put him in the spotlight, cause she's a spoiled brat.
-anger, that Jenise made 'someone' disappear her because she was going to tell, struggled, was being a spoiled brat.
Anyhoo.....
I was looking at this earlier article, and I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but
When Jenises parents hadnt heard from her by 8:30 p.m. Sunday, they began going door to door in the neighborhood, according to a Kitsap County Sheriffs Office statement. When that proved fruitless, they called 911 at 9:55 p.m.

Has that been proven accurate in a police statement? I know Dad is dithering about what time they started to look for her (though she missed check-ins ALL DAY LONG!!!! :banghead
But is it accurate that they didn't call police until almost 2 hours
after dark? Cause 6 year olds do so well alone in the dark....
One more thing. What these parents admittedly practice in regards to the care of the children is NOT anything like 'free range' parenting. They have crossed far beyond the line 'giving the child a little freedom' in the neighborhood to criminal neglect. According to the father's reporting, combined with the neighbors' reporting, the child has nearly zero confirmed adult supervision as she goes about her entire day, and when she doesn't 'check in' like she allegedly always does, nothing is done until after it's dark. She is six. That is criminal.
