EXACTLY!!!!!! I've said this before, but I always think about Natalee Halloway or a dozen other cases I recall seeing the heartbreaking site of parents begging for information for where their kids are.
This situation is VERY strange, to say the least. I would hope if I was murdered, my biggest advocates would not be strangers on websleuths, but rather my own MOTHER!!
I'm sorry, this just makes me so mad. I'm not even a mother yet but I would do more for my furbabies (my dogs) if anything happened to them!
IMHO saying "well, I would do X if it happened to me" is not good reasoning.
First, you haven't had your children murdered, so you can't say what you'd do. I'm sorry, but you can't. Nobody can unless it has happened to them.
Second, everybody reacts differently, and I think we read into their actions what we think they did. Example: mother went out to chew out people looking for another missing person. Some people here say that was suspicious and a diversion, but it could also be a mother angry that people were paying attention to someone who just got lost as opposed to a case where foul play was strongly suspected. Depending on whether you think the mother was involved or not, factors into how you feel about her actions.
Third, even if she did plea to the media, I'm not sure that would factor into anyone's idea on whether she was guilty or not. People who think WC is involved would say "well, she's just playing it up for the cameras" - and indeed, other guilty people have made heart-felt pleas before.
Just IMHO.
