In all the incidents (with perhaps the exception of JR), including: the deaths (CV, TD, and AC - whether they were due to natural causes or something else), the attempted shootings (BB - and I guess I consider that the paintball gun incident at TD's qualifies as an assault), the divorces (CV/LV, BB/MB, IP/former wife, and possibly others), and the marriages (CD/LD, AC/ZP, MB/IP), I think an argument could be made that a shared belief about end times could have played a role in certain individual's or couple's actions/behavior, and that in retrospect, perhaps a corresponding urgency was in evidence.
Over a period of just 5 1/2 months starting in July '19, the number of "incidents" is simply astonishing. People dying (or being shot at) in the midst of marital discord and/or shortly before a former spouse's marriage to another person (a time frame of between approx 3 and 6 weeks for 4 different couples). That's not to say that there's no evidence that some of these newly married individuals hadn't perhaps known one another for longer periods of time (before they either became divorced, or became a widow or widower).
But it just gives you the feeling that there's been an urgency to all these incidents - that each of the individuals (those still alive anyway) was for some reason rushing to get ready for something - perhaps the end times. I read that at one time Lori was predicting that the end times was imminent.
I say all this in an effort to help locate the children. If Chad & Lori (and possibly others) believed that the end was coming soon, could they have possibly sent the children to the area of Adam-ondi-Ahman, or Zion (reported to be in Missouri in the area of Gallatin, Jameson, and the north banks of the Grand River)? Could that location be where they themselves are ultimately headed? Same with MB/IP and possibly others with similar beliefs? Just wondering.
I do feel like they really believe the end of the world is upon us - like any day now (or July 2020 as Lori told Charles). As crazy as that is, to me it’s the most logical theory, the only thing that makes sense. Which says just how crazy this whole case is, because there’s really no sense to it at all!
But it really reminds me of The Walking Dead (zombie apocalypse tv show). At that point, all laws are out the window and you just do what you need to do. If that means killing someone who is in your way, you do it. It feels like that’s their mindset. Too much happened in that five months or so. Something has spurred them all on to move quickly.
It’s all just so weird.
