So. . .carry on while I catch my breath. :floorlaugh:
Ok. . .I think I'm ok now.
That massive 9/5 upload is weird. It contains some old pics. Most of them now say taken on 9/5. I don't know if flicker puts the "taken" date as the upload date as default if there is no other data (like from a camera). But. . .there are a few exceptions. . .the 6/15 photos with the friend and a pic of the kids in the car. She changed that taken date to 9/4, but it was clearly taken on 2/16. Hmmmm. . .was she really thinking that people would think it was taken on 9/4?
I would VERY much like to know what happened around this time. I'm wondering if she was notified of the custody court date around that time. It would explain the 9/4 potoshopped pic. I can't get passed the idea that something really set her off around this date!
I first thought that maybe Sky went missing at this time, but I don't think so anymore and I'll tell you why. I think the pics of him eating watermelon were on her camera (along with others). I think she just hadn't downloaded them yet. Soooo. . .my theory is something REALLY PO'd her around early Sept.
Now that LE is asking about anybody seeing Sky since 10/1, I have to wonder about that 10/23 sighting. We also know that SM was angry about pics of Julia passing M off as Sky. I know the media showed the pic that we all think IS Sky, but do we know that that is the pic SM saw? Do you think that there could have been pics of M as Sky on JB's camera? Did they have SM make that statement as part of their strategy?
What I'm wondering is did something happen to Sky in September? Did Julia try to dress up M as him and take pics as "proof" that Sky was still here? I know it sounds pretty crazy. . .but we are talking about Julia here and her mental state has already been established, kwim? Could have that neighbor seen her leave with what he/she thought was Sky but was really M?
As that court date and mediation approached, Julia had to devise a plan. She watched SVU on 10/19, left with M dressed as Sky on 10/23 where the neighbor could see her leaving with Sky and returning with M, borrowed the car on 10/27, had a brief moment of sanity and asked if she could move and give up child support payments on 10/30. The mediation was 11/1. She was obviously stalling. She didn't leave both kids home alone. There would be a difference between a 2yr old and a 4yr old. That pic of M might be from that day. Give her a big bowl of food and put in a video knowing that she will fall asleep. She did already have M trained. The mediation didn't go as planned and she was short one child for visitation, so she tries to renege on the agreement. That isn't panning out for her and she gets desperate. She only has the car for a bit longer. . .she sees the re-run of SVU and decides that she HAS to try to pull off this kidnapping story.
Do I need a tinfoil hat? :crazy:
I guess the massive 9/5 upload of pictures could be a reaction to the looming mediation date. Even if Sky was still around at that time, she might have been feeling the pressure. I don't know how court dates work, but maybe that was around the time when she got notification of a firm date for the mediation appt? IDK.
Her symptoms seem to vary, and sometimes maybe she is functioning better than other times. This is something I noticed in SM's declaration, that there were times when her symptoms were less debilitating.
The summer of 2011 seems like it might have been a "good" time. There are pictures of outings with the children, Costco and some kind of large grassy field near the apt, visiting at Grandma SJ's house, kids playing in the back yard there. The kids looks older and thinner, but both active and playing. That's also when JB reportedly set up her sugar baby acct, so she had a plan, was being proactive.
Maybe in Sep she just started feeling more boxed in, less hopeful. Looming court date. SM had passed his polygraph in Jan and responded to her contempt charge with his Declaration that we've all read, and she knows she's not going to be able to come up with anything to prevent him from having visitation. So, stress, and she starts monkeying around with her Flickr album which might have started to become another obsession, rearranging the pictures to create a new and improved reality. Messing around with the dates, creating new facts. During this time, early fall, I'm guessing she's also withdrawing from other people, nobody sees her much, she's in that little apartment with 2 kids, no car, no money, maybe no bites from a sugar daddy, and the pictures are becoming her new reality.
She falls apart in times of stress. The first time during her first preg when their business first started going downhill b/c of a new competitor; the second time during her second unplanned pregnancy when their financial life and business were tanking, they were falling behind on their house.
So then Sep, looming court date and she has no control over anything other than her kids, her apt, and her wacky Flickr acct.
