Terri may be guilty. But more than once, when LE's hand was shown, they were bluffing, and when Terri's hand was revealed, it introduced reasonable doubt. Despite all the resources LE has had.
My vote was that there is no evidence pointing to Terri's involvement. I've spent weeks now pouring over all the reports and articles and pressers and thoughts of my good fellow sleuthers, and various things on the net, and I am just unable to point any piece of information that tells me, in my gut, or in my head, that Terri is involved.
It's very strange, because always, always, always, long before this, I've been able to narrow down to a few things that tell me a person is involved. I don't know if Terri is a genius, or lucky, or not involved. I just plain don't know. I can't go so far as to say I think she's innocent, because I also don't see even one piece of information that is exculpatory.
I'm just flummoxed. I wish LE would give us a bone, so we know for sure one way or the other. I've just never followed a case where it was like this. It's very hard, emotionally. I want to know what happened to Kyron, and who did it. He's such a sweetie, and my heart aches for him.
I agree with everything you've just said. I followed the JBR case and I wasn't on the fence then, I followed the LP case and wasn't on the fence. In fact I think this is the first case I've read about in depth that I've been on the fence. I think the reason for me is that I require something with which to base a strong opinion on. In this case I've seen nothing pointing to TH, and what I have seen points more away from her.
I voted her caring for Ky all these years. I know it happens, but it really isn't very often that a mother/step mother kills her own child. If she did do that, I have the feeling it was accidental, because I still have a problem with motive. Even KH and DY basically said she was a good mom. KH said he didn't see it coming, the MFHP, etc. And that up until he found out about it, after Ky went missing, he saw nothing in TH out of the ordinary.
Her friends all say she was a good Mom to Kyron, her family....I've heard nothing otherwise other than the comment by DY that Kyron didn't want to go home to TH & KH. And that could have been nothing.
From the evidence we've seen, or lack thereof, I just hope
and pray that LE hasn't blown this one and they've wasted all this energy on TH when someone else has taken Kyron.
Also if TH was involved, I think Kyron may be gone. AND I SO HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE IS ALIVE SOMEWHERE!
Some people have mentioned the fact that there wasn't an Amber Alert, as supporting the idea that it's an isolated incident. The fact is, though, an Amber Alert can only be used under specific circumstances when there is a vehicle and/or perp description and also when the person is believed to be fleeing in the car with the child. Examples include, Jaycee Dugard's and Samantha Runnion's kidnappings when there were eyewitnesses who were able to give a vehicle and (in some cases) a perp description. Other circumstances include abductions by non-custodial parents, when they know what type of vehicle is driven by the person and often even have a picture of the non-custodial parent. So, essentially, that is both a flaw and a misperception about the Amber Alert system. The lack of an Amber Alert does not necessarily mean that the incident is isolated, just that they don't have any eyewitnesses or other firsthand knowledge as I described.
I question the complexity of the plan some are crediting her with, as opposed to the flaky alibi. She would have been better off just going home and staying on her computer all morning, as that could later be proven if she was working on her desktop, rather than a mobile device. She should have gone right home between store and gym-but she didn't, as she was apparently wasting time/trying to calm baby, until her gym time, but that sounds so flaky it just might be true. Maybe she figured if she took K home, the baby might want to go to bed and then Terri could not go back out to gym and she really wanted that gym work-out.
The alibi is too weak for a complex plan. If she and cohorts worked on a plan for weeks or months, why not a better alibi? Especially if someone else actually had physical possession of Kyron? She could have made sure she was on camera the whole morning, if she wanted to and she didn't.
I don't know-I voted "no solid evidence" at this point.
