Thanks, N'Soul.
I must say, I agree with Dietrich -- Adam married that harridan, agreed to accompany her back to the US with his daughter, who did not want to leave her grandmother & her home & her hometown & her friends & her doctor & her free medical benefits which were so very necessary for her health and proper physical stature due to her growing out of her prosthesis probably yearly or more frequently due to her age, etc., etc., etc. Surely, Shirley, he knew what a b**ch (IMO) she was -- but she may have been weaving her spider's web around him...
And if he was the father in Oz that he was here in the US, little Zahra wouldn't have been missing very much if he went without her -- he probably worked long hard hours there, too.
Anyway, I don't know if EB just charmed or scared him to death, but something apparently kept him from checking on his only child. Maybe he thought it was her role as the woman of the house -- unless he just did not give a dayam about her -- forget about taking her out for a walk or out for a hamburger, just the two of them; or taking her to see a doctor when she had those black eyes, or when it was noticeable that she needed a new leg. Ohhh, it just makes me wanna holler when I think about it. Anyway, he may not have had a hand in the actual murder or the dismemberment, etc., but he put her in harm's way, putting it mildly, and allowed it to happen by simply ignoring it. (All JMHO.)
Why isn't that negligence of some sort that would be recognized by law??? Grrrrrrrrrrr. :furious:
I could go on & on, as so many of us have & want to......
