Being a bit sarcastic here, but it would be so cool to take one of the recent photos of Julia and post it on her "Sugar Babies" profile. I warned ya all ... :great: :floorlaugh:

I think that would be well deserved. :fence:

 

[GingerRed]

haha, no DOUBT!



I think him looking like the good guy, the hero, is killing her. She wanted him to look like an abusive child molester. JMO. I think it's a head game. His stance, expression, etc is very proud, accomplished, confident, etc. I think they want her to explode and call him, or write an angry email, or mess up somewhere.

Well I learned something I never thought of before tonight. Never go to the bank looking like ****. You get a free picture taken....including profile pics. How long do they keep pictures? :gasp:

I'm not caught up, but I had to comment.

I went to the grocery store looking like hell tonight and my thought was. . .uh oh. . .I hope nothing happens because I'm going to look awful in those surveillance photos. :crazy:

she disposed of him, perhaps she chose a site with a beautiful view.

One that might make it acceptable in her mind to have disposed of her son in such a way that was not a proper burial. It occured to me perhaps she uploaded that photo so she could 'see' where Sky was resting peacefully, in her mind. Thought better of it and decided to make the photo go poof.

It also occured to me she might have uploaded it a third time to try and control any obsessive thoughts about visiting him there, or visiting the area.

It's all very creepy and there is a reason she posted that photo and removed it so quickly once we began discussing it here at WS.

I didn't see the pic, but you are on to something. I have (relatively mild) ocd (unfortunately for my house it is not as intensely cleaning oriented as her appears to have gotten ) and it is very much about controlling how things are. I don't foresee her burying her son in some random place and forgetting about it, from an ocd perspective.. IF he is no longer alive and she disposed of him, he is either in a place she methodically prepared to be suitable OR she will not be able to rest and will go "check" on him wherever he is, both to punish herself and to verify he is still where she left him (control) or to possibly relocate him.

If she posted a bunch of pics and then unposted one, it was significant but she began to question whether it was unsafe to post it for some reason.

Just my 2 cents from an ocd pov.. But 1-10 my ocd is probably a 2 and hers sounds like a 9 or 10..

I really hate to ask this, but did they do a search of the mother's house and backyard? Take the dogs over there? ugh.

IMO Sky appears to have the same dark circles all the way around his eyes as his sister did in the photo's taken at Cosco.

sorry to quote myself. Still trying to catch up on the thread.

What would make a child have dark circles around their entire eye and not just under their eye? Would the entire eye be from lack of sleep? Or lack of appropriate daily calories or some kind of vitamin or mineral deficiancy? Or would allergies appear all around the eye rather than just dark circles under the eye?

ETA: Dehydration?

I didn't think it on one child, I find it concerning on two.

Anyone know?

JB's mother lives in a condo. Maybe you're thinking of JB's friend SJ ("grandma S**) -- some of the pics that were added yesterday were taken in her backyard.

What's weird is that she stages things but can't hide the dysfunction. Who feeds their kids in the middle of the living room floor on such a carefully, perfectly set up platform of paper towels and whatever else is below them? I can see having a picnic or placing a drop cloth, even a tarp under their chair (they can get so messy), but the paper towels so carefully laid out like that? In perfect rows like tiles? And she cannot manage to keep the vacuum out of the picture and it looks plugged in! This woman cannot hide how sick she is, IMO.

In her defense... it's not just the living room floor. It also doubles as the kid's bedroom. :crazy:

 

[Chris_Texas]

My first thought was confirmation she doesn't let anyone use the bathroom. I never bathed my son in the sink. Is it typical for parents who use the sink to bath their infants to do so when they reach 2?

Well... as a dad, if the little guy fit in there then I could see myself doing it.

But then I sometimes use the dog to dry my hands.

 

[RabidBadger]

My theory is she did something to Sky on Thursday the 3rd, and the photos at the teller are from that day. She seems to be looking out the window worriedly. Maybe Sky was in her vehicle? Probably they can obtain parking lot photos and have seen the car she was using that day, probably have gained access to it. I believe it was not the silver Acura but another vehicle, hence the lack of SAR/cadaver dog hits in the acura. Perhaps she was looking out the window expecting someone, and she is worried about it.

I believe the other photo, the one where she looks like she is holding a map (?) was from the friday, when she bought shoes (isn't there a designer shoe warehouse at 17158 Redmond Way in the same complex as the Ross in question?). And got her hair done, possibly at Farouche Salon, which is in the same complex, at 17130 Redmond Way.

 

[Cubby]

So are we all in agreement that the pictures appear to be from 2 or 3 seperate occasions?

I'm just wondering if this compilation of photos is part of what forced the Julia admission that she leaves the children alone repeatedly, since she keeps showing up seemingly childless.

According to LE they only spoke with Julia the day Sky was reported missing. They have not spoken to her since, only her attorney. Julia had to have told LE the day Sky went missing she repeatedly left the children alone for extended periods of time. LE would not have had these survelliance photo's the day of his disappearance. IMO these were obtained to try and narrow the timeline. Hence LE saying we can't discuss the timeline in todays presser.

I also believe the photo's of Julia are a more accurate depiction of what she may have looked like to hopefully jar more memories leading to more tips.

Still trying to figure out the significance of these photos and why these were chosen.

I think I better sleep on it before forming an opinion. Right now, it's just not coming together. Yes she looks distraught in the bank photo and yes she doesn't have the children but she could have left them with a babysitter so it really doesn't tell us much. Wish we knew the date.

As for dad being in the photo selection.......I'm stumped. I could understand the one of him holding Sky but the one of him posing alone.......has me :waitasec:

We know one reason these images were selected: LE wants people to think back and see if they remember THIS woman rather than the glam-mom images posted previously.

As for dad, it could also be nothing more than a "If you saw this guy with this kid let us know that as well." In other words, avoiding tunnel vision and all that.

 

[Cubby]

I heard it on KIRO's hour long special I believe. I'm not sure if Dad said it or the reporteres. The reason I remembered the date is because my birthday is 9/2.

Thank you. I don't have sound so was unable to listen to the hour special. I remembered the dad saying September, or reading the dad said September but didn't recall the date. Perhaps then NCMEC really does just have the month wrong but the date correct.

thanks again!

 

[hambirg]

This is my theory, so all MOO.

LE shows these photos in a different sequence than the other sights. I think there is a reason. .. they are telling a story. I think these photos are all from the same day.

Pic #1 is her leaving Ross in Redmond with what I assume are shoes in the bag. Shoes from Ross often come without a box, so it's possible.

Pics #2-5 are of JB at Sterling bank just a few blocks away from Ross. She looks nervous and anxious and looks at least once out the window. Does she expect police to be rolling up with sirens blaring? Maybe. She obviously has something under her jacket. I think it's the "new" lighter sweat pants, that I think she just shoplifted from Ross.

Pic #6 is Mom. . .someplace, (maybe Whole Foods but I'm not sure because it kind of looks like she is writing and I think she is left handed), with new pants, new shoes and her hair is fixed a bit.

Sooooo. . .my question is where was she before she went to Ross? And why did she need new shoes and pants?

Btw. . .I'm not liking how this is looking at all.

I did a little checking and several websites list enlarged adenoids and IRON DEFICIENCY as causes in addition to the more commonly known allergens and nasal congestion.

The iron deficiency is interesting, especially if the kids were given a very limited diet, as in only a few KINDS of foods over and over.

 

[pjcitizen]

It's just too much of a coincidence to me that the picture of Dad with Sky that they chose to release today is in the same place as the some of the surveillance footage of Julia.

 

[hollyblue]

JB's mother lives in a condo. Maybe you're thinking of JB's friend SJ ("grandma S**) -- some of the pics that were added yesterday were taken in her backyard.

Your right.:blushing: Thanks for correcting me. I kept thinking about what Maj Johnson said today about being in our own backyard. Time for a few cups of tea and to watch NG on the flip.

 

[hambirg]

One more thing. . that last pic of Mom is included for a reason. It's not really a good ID pic, so I think the only reason it's there is to say. . .Hey, we noticed you changed your shoes and your pants.

MOO

 

[Chris_Texas]

Totally off topic, but damn these two kids are cute.
