I am so troubled by the fact that she took the baby and left the day after the kids disappeared and just completely cut off contact with him. It's very mysterious.
I agree wholeheartedly it is troubling, and seems to be indicative of something big between them for awhile with her children from another father disappearing being the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
At the very least, IMO, she must have been unhappy with his behavior and/or treatment and used her kids disappearing as a stepping stone out the door to finally leave him -- IIRC, her father said she had been wanting to leave DM for months.
Also IMO (no source links but much of what I'm posting is linked upthread(s) since the beginning when I first heard about their mother leaving never to return so soon after they disappeared and cutting off all contact/blocking DM on SM, DM has seemed to me a bit strident in painting his own picture and getting his version of events and backstory out there ahead of LE arriving even (looked everywhere for x hours using x methods.
So at the worst, she could have taken the opportunity to quit her relationship with him because she herself has suspicions about his involvement or is afraid of him cuz he's been a loose cannon around her and her kids. Admitting Lilly had a black eye from falling on a toy while he was there to observe amd give his version is pink flagish to me.
I flip flop every day about what happened in this case. I decided to make a list to keep the known facts straight in my head. Does anyone have anything to add?
Mom/Stepdad are guilty:
- they break up 48 hours after the disappearance
- neighbor heard car coming & going all night
- previous CPS complaints & history of Lilly having a black eye
- mom left town & didn’t help search
- kids were called in sick to school that day
Mom/Stepdad are innocent:
- passed lie detector tests
- seem genuine & credible
- boot prints in woods
- weird gold car/grandma sighting
Thanks for this, good points/summaries and the one added in another post.
Here's a spinoff scenario with just DM having done something he is covering up, and not Mayehla:
I go back and forth a bit as well as more facts are revealed in MSM, but as I said above and taking it one step further, I have a bad feeling about DM.
Not only how he treated/stepfathered Lilly and Jack with concerns from school & black eyes (plural) on them both IIRC, but if he is a violent bald faced liar with cool outward composure like Chris Watts, a partial family anniahlator in this case -- just the 2 kids who weren't his -- and is pretending really well at the game thinking he was very careful with leaving no evidence of a crime.
SO I do wonder, MOO of course, if he lost his temper with them while Maleyha was asleep with the young one, or was just past his breaking point helping care for them while she focused on their baby, and he could have done them in, and spirited away tbeir bodies wrapped up in something like a tarp or rug while she was sleeping and not noticing whether he was in bed the whole first part of the morning.
This scenario, as awful as it is to contemplate, would fit as a reason why a neighbor reported hearing the 5 WD vehicle coming and going in the night.
For this scenario to "work" with vehicle noise heard & reported by a 3rd party/not a family member saying all was normal and the kids were just home sick with a cough, Lilly and Jack's VOICES would not have been heard that morning as family members said...
BUT they didn't say they saw them (mom & grandmom) except for their mom/DM saying Lilly had come into their room several times.
What if their mom was in and out of conciousness for hours of the morning, and they have room darkening curtains covering the bedroom windows to aid in sleeping in past dawn (young child/baby who wakes easily & DM sometimes working a night shift IIRC), and she only thought she saw Lilly & heard Jack in the kitchen between 7 or 8 - 9 am, but it was more like 4 - 5 am, whenever the time was before sunset?
And it's a stretch of course, but what if their voices had been recorded and were playing in the background on a phone/bluetooth speaker and their mom was so tired and half awake she only thought she heard them?
This scenario of course is just sprung from my imagination, and a bunch of what ifs, but also would fit within the desire by LE to review all CVTV footage in the area AS WELL AS footage of vehicles coming into NS at all. If they were trying to determine if a vehicle was seen leaving the area and going out to the coast or driving onto a ferry and off island.
Just digging deep with more possible sceanrios that come to mind while waiting for something to break.
JMM (just my musings) once again.
Where are Lilly and Jack?? Everyone is praying for you to be found and back home or know if you're in a safe place.
ETA: I've always had a strange reaction to looking at his eyes (DM's), like I want to avoid them. IMOO, they have a strange or spooky looking cast to them, like he may be off or maybe is just wicked tired and mad at the world for his fate in life, or is he mad about any scrutiny aimed his way?
Dunno, but he gives off a vibe that's off in videos I've watched, like he's got a script he's following on all the right things to say for a poor stepdad with missing kids at the same time jumping on his soapbox and grousing about all he's done for the missing kids and how it sucks he's being given dirty looks in the community.... instead of being, I don't know, a very sad dad figure to two little missing kids he's been living with for over 2 years.
