There was no email telling the school Kyron would be absent on June 4th. Even the Morris book dances around it:
Note the passive voice "was told" and no identified speaker. Who told the school office? Ms Porter? Was the bolded actual information from the police, or was it Ms Porter's erroneous belief based on memories of earlier conversations?
Law enforcement has the email, in my opinion.
The problems with the Terri-did-it scenario that this alleged email solves just causes far more problems. Her removal of the child was concealed, no one saw her take Kyron, and she denied doing so from day one. Yet she also wrote an email telling the school she was taking Kyron out to delay discovery of his absence, actual text that could be shown to the police. You don't create alibis and then put your victim in them!
"No one saw her take Kyron" -- so is this an implication that the witnesses don't exist? Just like the email doesn't exist.
"... don't create alibis and then put your victim in them"! -- Well, apparently some people do. It seemed to work well enough in this case.
If the email existed, this is what would have happened. The police would have stated publically that Terri had taken Kyron out of school and called for anyone who saw them together in the truck to come forward. Yet their words and actions after the abductions show not that they know she took him, but that they suspect she took him and are trying to get evidence that she did. If that email existed, they wouldn't need to do that.
I don't think anyone can speak for law enforcement regarding what they did, didn't do, or should have done. They handled the investigation the way they handled it. It's still open, so they're still working on it.
I hope they make an arrest soon.
I did say that, and according to Desiree it's correct. Both statements are.
Here's what's in the Morris book:
Hard to interpret that as anything different than Desiree telling LE she believed Terri was the culprit. The thing I don't know is the reasons she gave LE. It could have been the ones specified earlier in the book (as quoted earlier). It could have been something else. We don't know.
Whatever Desiree's reasons were, it sure doesn't look like she was wrong, in my opinion.
Yet she never says she came up those stairs, did she? She's always to my knowledge said she came up the stairs by the gym (as she does in the video). All she says about that position is that she last saw Kyron there. Coming up from a stairwell and walking a couple of meters to the stairs leading to the exit, waving goodbye, then walking out. Makes perfect sense to me, but to someone with a guilt-centric mindset and a hazy recollection of the school layout?
She said she last saw Kyron at his classroom door. Which is way down at the other end of the hallway from where she said she was.
And the distance between where she placed herself and where she seemed to have suddenly appeared is much greater than a couple of meters. It's the length of two classrooms plus the school office. She said nothing about walking to that location; she placed herself at the top of the stairwell by the gym watching Kyron "going down the hallway". The last thing she remembered was the "back of his head" as he got "right about" at his classroom door. At no time did she indicate she walked from the top of the stairwell by the gym to the "front door, south entrance." But she was suddenly there. Where (according to her)
Kyron was seen by the school secretary and another child after she left.
Bizzare, in my opinion.
Also, from neither position would Kyron be hidden from view. Desiree tries to equivocate on this in the Morris book, but look at the map in the video. Where is the position from where the hallway to 213 can't be seen?
Those could be old floor plans not showing newer renovations, or there could have been something set up in the hallway. Who knows?
I wonder where all the people that were later outside crowding the parking lot were at that time?
Right? Terri used a perfectly normal phrasing to say she drove Kyron to the school and left him there. This is what I mean about guilt-centric mindset. It simply bypasses the normal explanations (that it is a common and normal phrase to use) and immediately goes for the guilty one (she used a phrase that didn't convey all the minor details of what she did in the school, thus she tried to minimize her presence there).
Except it's not a common and normal phrase that most people would use when describing what they last did with their 7-year-old missing stepson, in my opinion.
I would only say I dropped someone off if I gave them a lift somewhere and pulled over long enough to let them get out of the vehicle. That's what dropping someone off means to me. But driving someone somewhere, escorting that someone into a building, doing a tour, visiting, taking a picture--I would never describe that as dropping someone off.
And if that someone was my 7-year-old missing stepson and I was the last person to see him and law enforcement was investigating his disappearance--no. Never.
