I would really like to know when this story about 'kidnap/Kay's a threat' was birthed. I'm lumping them both together even though there are slight differences.
This is the first time we hear it from a witness who didn't buy into it because Lori had already told her JJ had gone to stay with Kay, and the message from Kay to Lori didn't suggest it was true.
However we heard it already from Lori's family - SS, JC and MP.
Given that Lori had already given the 'going to stay with grandma' story to MG, the neighbors and the nanny, I suspect it was the lie Lori had settled on, for consistency, thinking that those people would never hear from Kay.
One of the most interesting things that happened after the apartment raids is that one of Lori's friends (possibly MG, not confirmed yet) phoned MP and said Lori had been lying to them:-
12News interview:
MP: I got a disturbing phone call from one of her friends. She said this is what I think happened to Tylee and JJ and all these scary things. I don’t know what to think because I can’t talk to Chad and Lori for this time and I don’t know where Tylee and JJ are and I’m scared and I’m kind of venting all of this to my new husband.
EIN interview:
MP: Where it comes down to Tylee and JJ and this zombie idea – it came from a disturbing phone call I got from one of Lori’s old friends right after they took off to Hawaii. She told me, “Lori and Alex did something to Tylee and JJ, and we don’t know where they’re at, and Lori has lied to you,” and all these things that didn’t feel right. On that phone call, I felt a lot of fear and doubt, and that’s when I kind of went into this worrying phase.
Assuming the friend who phoned MP is MG, now that we've heard from MG that she believed JJ was with Kay, we can see where MP slipped up in her interview with EIN. "Lori has lied to you". This confirms the friend (MG?) thought MP had the same story as she had, and MP does not say 'I told the friend JJ was safely hidden, I always knew JJ wasn't with Kay and that what Lori told the friend was a lie so I wasn't worried.' She still does not correct the story to this day to say that she wasn't given the same lie as the friend.
Why did Lori think that MP might never hear from Kay?
It raises a big red flag in my mind that there was another murder plot in the pipeline, in having Kay marked as a zombie. I also wonder what about Larry?
One more thing - when did SS, JC and MP come to hear the lie about hiding JJ from Kay, if it was invented for MG on 26th Nov and MP hadn't heard it still when the friend called her?
They haven't spoken to Lori about the children since she fled the Rexburg apartment I believe.
By my reckoning that means it has to have come from Chad, or one of his friends, since they went to Hawaii, not from Lori, and SS and JC were also making it up, for MP to have a different story.
MOO
