Since I am the only one posting, and maybe you are now lurking... please give any info on ST that you have (facts please) on WHY DT appears to be so hateful to him. I have stated repeatedly that I have only gotten to know ST in the last couple yrs and only through visits while my dad was sick. I wasnt really concentrating on him at the time. Since Somers death we have become closer. I just happened to be there and would be trying to comfort and support anyone I know in this horrible situation. It may seem I have been taking his side, but I too just want the truth. I have always questioned why DT's hatred is so strong that she would treat him this way in these circumstances. DT never gave me any nasty looks at the funeral or treated me with hosility. CPC is another matter. I dont want to be misled and maybe that is what ST has been doing. I also have been easier on him because I dont believe he had anything to do with Somers murder, as he was right in front of me when she went missing. Nor does it appear that LE thinks he is a POI. If there is a reason I dont know about that would clear up her hostility toward him..I, for one would appreciate knowing what it is. Not for gossip purposes, but because I have let him into my life. My life that is filled with small children that depend on my judgement to protect them. No one means more to me than them. ST is not perfect I am sure. But now you have me wondering if he can be trusted. Even if all you say is NO. In Your Opinion? You say you have known them for years. Please advise.
