If the officer who was conversing with JS while taking her to a hotel on the 29th (48 hours after MS was reported missing and 24 before MS was found) that means JS and SS were staying TOGETHER at the hotel while the JS home was being investigated. I don't know if that means JS did not yet know about the images found on SS phone or not. A missing child's home typically does not become a crime scene until or unless LE believe some evidence of a crime happened in that home. MS had been reported as last seen by SS near school. That doesn't make the home a potential crime scene, except LE already were onto SS. The question I have is how did they explain the need for JS and SS to vacate the home so they could investigate it?
Either at the time of the ride to hotel/interview JS knew about the allegations of CSAM on SS phone and was staying in a hotel with that man WHILE knowing. Or LE hadn't yet approached her about the images and yet somehow managed to clear both JS and SS from the property and investiate a potential crime scene in JS home?
Either way, what is she DOING laying up in a hotel room with SS and talking about her daughter in the past tense and presplaining sleeping arrangements on the 29th when her daughter's body wasn't found til the 1st of March??
I can't make this make sense in a way that JS is some clueless trusting mom. I simply cannot.
