Thanks, Bluesky. I sort of expected that Hannah lived with her dad during her whole summer vacation, but it was for less than 2 months. Didn't seem she enjoyed staying there. I think her tweets while she was living with her dad are more ominous that her tweets while living with her mom. Interesting that in the same comment saying she couldn't stand her dad, she said it's because money can't buy love. Now I'm really thinking that JT's comments about Hannah's mother taking away her cell phone are false. I get the impression he was contending with Hannah's mother for Hannah's affection by promising and showering her with material things. Maybe he gave Hannah a cell phone that her mother thought had too many apps for a 16-year-old and her mom planned to buy her a different one. This is just speculation. Anyway, I think we need to take anything that JT says with a grain of salt.
It seems Hannah was living in fear and feeling despondent just before she was attacked. After reading through her tweets, it is apparent that from May on, she was in a great deal of physical and emotional pain. Her body ached, she wasn’t sleeping, and she was frustrated with those who woke her up while she was on summer vacation. It seems Hannah was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On May 20 Hannah tweeted, “Too much drama in my life”. There's a reason she said she needed to move out of those dang apartments.
Hannah loved the lake and she tanned herself at the outdoor pool so she was probably dressed in a bathing suit. Hannah was beautiful so she would have drawn a lot of attention to herself at the pool and there must be hundreds of people who live at the Lake Lanier Apartment Complex and visit there. Ninette Sosa, reporter 106.7, who appeared on Nancy Grace never said there was an outdoor pool there and if Hannah hadn’t mentioned this in her tweets, we wouldn’t have known.
According to Bethany Marshall, research says that the perpetrators in these cases are often underemployed Caucasian males who are not married, single, and living in an apartment. One out of every four violent crimes occurs in or near the victim`s home and with young people usually the body is found within a quarter mile” but an unemployed male would not be able to afford to live there imo.
In May Hannah said she spent her money on clothes and couldn’t afford to buy a phone so she had been without one the entire summer. She said she wished for one and was using the computer until she got one. Her birthday was in May but she wasn't given the phone she desperately wanted yet she graciously thanked her family for the party they threw for her.
On July 22nd she said she needed a new phone ASAP. Near the end of August, Hannah still didn’t have one and her mother told the operator the reason her daughter didn’t have a cell phone was because she didn’t t allow her to have one because of her behavior at school; yet Hannah was still hoping for one in July and August which doesn’t make any sense imo.
I believe Hannah was upset with her mother over this and that is exactly what Ms. Harris told Jeff Truelove when she called him to inform him something may have happened to their daughter. Ms. Harris btw wasn’t concerned about how her father would react to this very disturbing news nor did she open her heart to him; she just delivered the message and hung up on him. Poor guy, my heart goes out to him.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE DISPATCHER: And does she have a cell phone?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE CALLER: No, she doesn`t.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE CALLER: No, sir.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE DISPATCHER: All right.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE CALLER: That`s why I`m hesitant because that means she`s lost all her privileges because of school and stuff and that`s one of the privileges she lost. That`s why I think she might be up -- she might be up to something.
And she just hung up the phone and called me back later and said -- well, she called me back about 10:15, said that she had called the law and that she`s sure she has run away. And I says, Well, why would she run away? She goes, She`s upset with me. And I said, Well, OK, you know, but she wouldn’t run away.

Hannah did not have a cell phone all summer yet witnesses claim they saw her tweeting.
“Hannah’s neighbors said they saw the brown-haired, blue-eyed girl walking toward the picnic tables at Lake Lanier Club Apartments at 4 pm Thursday, where she was often seen relaxing and sending tweets. But her last tweet came hours before at 1:32 p.m. which said, “ummm yes ma’am.”
Even though Hannah said she hated her father, I don’t believe she did. After her parents separated, Mr. Truelove was still actively involved in her life and he said if he knew his daughter was in danger, he would have immediately taken her out of there; so he did love and support his daughter and he didn’t abandon her after he and Hannah’s mother separated. He took her shopping for school clothes in August, was teaching her to drive, and welcomed her into his home.
“She was a very loving girl,” her father said. “She was just daddy’s little girl.”
“Hannah lived in the gated apartment complex with her mother, but her father, who lives in nearby Jackson County, said that if he had heard any worries, “she would be out here with me.”
