Okay according to KB Hailey wanted to live with Clint and not Billle after moved in. We know this is likely to be true as once he moved in she seemed to live with several other people including Clint for a month. During the process of it being determined where Hailey live she spoke to CPS and explained to them why she didn't live with her mom. Those files have been handed into LE. The important thing about them is like she said there Haileys words and what it was like in that house. I wish Clint had got custody because in my opinion Hailey would then be here today.
And since you are the one who raised the issue of the rumoured big fight about where to live the night before, it raises the scenario of this story being a custody dispute that went wrong.
I was thinking about that this afternoon. Assuming that this fight happened, and taking the personalities of the actors into account, you can kind of piece together a reasonable scenario that would account for most of the story around this case.
One thing about BD that has struck me is that she seems the type of person who confronts a situation head on in an attempt to pre-empt the situations conclusion.
For example, go back to the 911 call the year before. SA and her have a fight, he says he is going to go and take "stuff" and leave. So, to stop that she doggedly and aggressively calls LE in an attempt to get them to get them to intervene before SA can do it. She is using LE to enforce her will and she will get dramatic to achieve that end.
Now, fast forward a year later. HD is acting up because she doesn't like SA and wants to live with her father. BD doesn't want this, so there is drama. Everyone heads to work the next day, but, unknown to them HD has arranged with persons unknown (family or friends or others) to take off. Trouble is, SA doesn't have a job any more and unexpectedly arrives home early. HD can't pack up as planned because then she would have to explain why, plus her ride is going to arrive any minute. So she panics and leaves immediately with vague explanations about where she is going. Off she goes, SA is unconcerned thinking it is just more drama, tells BD when he picks her up, but BD is not overly worried because HD does this on occasion.
She gets a bit annoyed later when HD uncharacteristically doesn't contact her however, and the next day, at work, decides to send DD out to order HD home. Unfortunately HD is no where to be found. So, what does BD think now? She will be thinking that CD has arranged this with HD so she can run off and be with him, and BD's character is that she meets these sorts of challenges by calling the cavalry and heading the challenge off at the pass. So she storms over to LE in high drama and sets everything else in motion.
If you look at everyone else's behaviour subsequent to this you can fit them into this scenario and it sort of makes sense.
What happened to HD though? Obviously she didn't go to family, and I think there is a good reason why - it would be too easy for her mother to find her if she did. So she went somewhere else, friends, friends of family, or someone else she knows. Trouble is, it seems that most of these people live in a drug culture, and are maybe not the nicest people around. So, in the scenario she would have been resident with these sorts of people when the whole missing/abduction tsunami broke. When that happened she would have become a liability that could send people to jail. Stuff happened and she died.
So, in this scenario, something like the Odessa story would fit. And if Odessa did happen, then the people involved would be very serious about covering up and making sure people didn't talk (and this is the drug culture). If HD was fed drugs to keep her quite and make her compliant while they figured out what to do with her, then she ODed, dumping the body out at the lake and saying they know nothing would be consistent (Felony murder is no laughing matter - OD victims are dumped all the time).
This in turn could explain all the fear and threats which are going around. These people would want the story to go away and anyone who could possibly know anything to keep their mouths shut. Who all is afraid? N's family apparently (where is N btw?). The guy who found HD's body, who seemed very vocal, then claimed he received a threat, then abruptly shut up. MB's mom, who appeared to make exceptional effort to distance her daughter from the situation and HD, won't let BD speak to her, and says MB is afraid (Why?). CD drives across half the state looking for HD (even though a poster here claims he was told she was dead), turns out to be really hard to find and now is caught driving around with a gun. Connie and BD making really cryptic comments recently. Then there is the memorial, with it's own drama at multiple levels, with relatively few locals showing up and half of them apparently some sort of biker gang.
