Where there hell has she been hiding?

Judging by her statements so far under a rock lol ... she couldn't be less interested in this case

There is no way that the police would ask about a missing person without showing a photo of the said person!

Weird that she emphasized the REWARD portion of the billboard.

So, do we know anyone with a white hibiscus plant in their yard?

 

[hoodunnit]

Hmmm, are we buying this?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I feel deflated.

 

[brjakj]

She didn’t have her card but proved her identity (how since she changed her name?). And it was different tellers….

Um. No

But she doesn’t remember which tellers. Or how much money was involved. Or anything else. Just a white hibiscus. This is just weird.

And the details she wrote on the form like the acct was in qld but couldn’t remember her name

 

[Passingthru]

The pieces that she remembers/doesn’t remember don’t make sense to me. Except to not have a person to corroborate her story.

i think you only get the reward money if the information leads to an arrest.

 

[hahahils]

If you thought someone was "a bit of a flip" and they were withdrawing large amounts of cash, and you have to verify them for "suspicious transactions"... wouldn't that rate as "suspicious"...

It really bothers me that she keeps saying things like “we thought” but can’t remember who the other person in the conversations was. Maybe my memory is better than hers, but it’s just flat-out weird to me.

Yeah I find her testimony very unreliable and her body language (closes her eyes when she answers almost every question). Possibly subconscious or unconsciously but I think there’s some memory problems here. Unfortunately she’s not helping. It’s muddying waters.

If what she is saying is correct- am I remembering right that Ric Blum mentioned going to Bali?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Now she's "just not sure" what year it was.

I can’t tell if she’s nervous because of the situation or if she’s lying. (She’s also biting/licking her lips.)

 

[Nnbee]

i’m confused why this witness is considered important enough to warrant another day in the cc? it seems so wishy washy and not giving any new evidence. unless it is considered as proof of her returning?

 

[KeenSleuth17]

And how could you not have “googled it”. She’s young enough to be a googler!
