I know, about "look out for each other a little more". It just seems totally disjoint. Maybe it's not a true picture of how they typically are.
I am really curious, but I guess it's none of my business, exactly how the timeline went in that trailer on Sunday. I just can't imagine, at some point, the brother not mentioning the boyfriend had been by. That Sarah had come home and left again. That someone had come by from the church looking for her. Who again, said she'd already been picked up? I'm really just curious, it won't help solve the case, just bugs me.
Yeah, there sure are a lot of odd things there. The brother going to bed after arriving home & seeing the door open & the sister gone; still not notifying anyone after Onstott came by; and the stuff you mentioned above. I still suspect that it's just a family that lives in the same house but doesn't have much interaction in the same ways that most of us do with our families.
An article I posted yesterday mentioned that the pastor's wife said that Sarah is left home a lot, (I wonder who else knows that besides the pastor's wife), and that she goes to church alone. Also, when she got home, her mom was gone, her 16 year-old brother was gone, and her 20 year-old brother was gone. It was a Saturday night so that's okay but the only one that was mentioned either being home or coming home is the 17 year-old. So the two other brothers must have also stayed out either very late or overnight. I wonder if Mom knew where they were or if since Mom was away, they just did their own things.
The brother's reaction to his sister being missing tells me a lot. He comes home sometime between 2 and 4 A.M., (depending on which article you read but it seems that most say 4), and notices the door standing open & his sister gone. Yet he apparently wasn't alarmed; he went to bed. So it seems like it may be a house where people come & go as they please, and the kids make their own rules. And like someone else mentioned, the fact that this Onstott guy could knock on the door at 5 A.M., walk into the house & grab the beer, and leave again without making the brother suspicious seems to indicate that this house might often be pretty active with people coming & going and might often keep late hours.
And yet another thing, when the Mom comes home on Sunday, not only does she not call around to find Sarah because she assumes that she's sleeping over a friend's house, (no note left for Mom & that's okay?), but she also apparently didn't hear anything alarming from Andrew either. Was Andrew out when she came home? Did Andrew never mention that Sarah had been out since the wee hours of the morning the night before or that Onstott had come into the house? There are just so many things there that would have had most of us calling the police so very many hours before. But this family didn't call sooner because they didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. That none of this was out of the ordinary is what is so sad to me.
