I know I'm quoting myself here but I just keep thinking of those people come across in my life that have the same narcissistic issues. The focus on specificity of time down to the minute just throws a huge red flag like "look at me, I'm so detailed you can't even question me!". I just loathe these kinds of people.
Yes, because in most people's world, they can tell you every single thing they did all day long, with a time stamp.
They'll be rushing out the door to get to ballet with Daughter, but simultaneously giving instructions about dinner to their SO, and handing Son the things he needs for the 7PM talent show; and they can tell you when each and every one of these things occurred, with perfect recall.
We should have a countdown before TS comes in to tell us that as a military family serving their country, blah de blah, this is perfectly logical because they're all obsessed with time/ because Al can always tell you immediately what time it is/because the entire family runs timed drills, blah de blah.
I'll tell you for a certainty, people remember these things in snatches and fragments. They don't remember what the clock said every single time they wake up in the middle of the night, and they don't look nonstop at clocks, and they can't tell you everything that happened unless they write them down.
I am so far behind, it is frustrating. I have sped read and skipped over a lot of posts to get caught up - but then I am not really caught up.
If I repeat anything or ask a dumb question that has been addressed, I am sorry.
I am in Castle Rock. I keep seeing Castle Rock/Play it Again Sports mentioned. Why?
It would be a PITA for her to go to the PIAS here (esp via back roads) - from the Springs - esp when there are 2 down there. Also the PIAS is in a super busy area and the intersection (which is also for the outlets) is a shitshow because CDOT doesnt know what they are doing as they are in charge of the lights/roads here in town (minus a few that are run by CRgov). That entire area...all the exits/entrance to 25... is right there too...is a huge clusterf**k.
As others have said - I will back it up - it is nearly impossible to get lost here.....because of the mountains. When my MIL first moved here - it was one of the first things we told her - If the mountains are on your left - you are going north...so on and so forth. Also, any back roads to get up to CR (if that was her alleged destination???) are super duper easy to drive. Absolutely no way to get lost. << IMO and experience.
With all that said. I will never believe a word she said/says.
I'm guessing you haven't gotten to her most recent interview yet? She says it, which is where people are getting the Castle Rock from:
Gannon Stauch stepmom reveals where she went the day Colorado boy disappeared [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]
I'm not fully up to speed here, but did she give her statement after they announced the search, or before and the media released it coincidentally after? Because if they baited her into throwing out exit numbers and play it again sports stops, this LE dept deserves some major trolling accolades.
Somebody asked the author (Leigh Egan, friend of Websleuths) when the interview actually took place.
She said this past Monday; so the interview super-precedes, IMO, any search announcement,
unless maybe she's got some sub rosa National Guard wives' channel where discussion about this week's search started early. We here only found out about the search yesterday.
