I love when fellow posters throw out new questions.
Because information is vague and of the very few interviews done with family members I have felt the interviewers questions weren't targeted enough ,by that I mean the details that matter .
Although I understand certain details cannot be released for valid reasons and no one wants to risk leaked details derailing an investigation but simple things like you have stated here and other stuff like , what do you think was in the backpack or do you know ? Were the kids aware they were not going to school ?. Did lilly say anything during the couple of times she popped her head into the bedroom ? Did jack and lilly ever go into the yard without you and Maleyha if they heard janie with the chickens for example?
When was the last time janie spoke or seen the children ? Did she know they were sick ? Did janie know the family was struggling to get basic needs ?
What was lilly and jacks favourite thing to do when in the forest ,where they attracted to the water ? Could they swim ? Is this why janie was building a pool ? How independent were they in regards, getting something to eat or drink . Did they Normally put on their own coat and boots ? Is this the first time they ever closed the porch door ? We know they are might talk to strangers easily but what about kids ,would they approach a child to be their friend or wait to be approached ? Did they know what was dangerous and what was not in the forest such as what berries or plants might be poisonous or could they build a Fort like the one in the yard ? Who built it ? And did they help ? Where the kids ever brought on a walk to the pipeline trail ?
And the list goes on .. if anyone like to add to that list feel free . It's not an exercise in targeting parents or grandparents. It's just who were lilly and jack as people what were their hobbies and intricacies
