I only felt more compassion for these parents after this audio. I did not see them employed in character assination of Terri at all. What I saw were two parents who were being asked questions and some of the answers were frank and honest. Difficult to hear maybe, but I believe they were honest.
I believe that in a marriage it takes 2 people with the will and the ability to open up to each other in order make that marriage work. There are people who shut down when confronted with problems in personal relationships. It isn't that they are unable to love, just unable to perhaps feel rejection. And let's face it every marriage has points when things become stale because we tend to start devoting more time to kids, work, crime boards :biggrin: .... I think Kaine may be one of those people who shuts down. And he might have been with the wrong mate because Terri appears to need constant stimulation and adoration. Oil and Vinegar. That doesn't make Kaine a bad man. He is what he is, and perhaps needs the kind of mate that will say no don't shut down let's talk this through. And instead maybe he is with someone who is saying I need, I want, I deserve.
Kaine talked about the liquor problem back in the time around 2005..... the current liquor question? He qualified that saying that recently a couple of friends came to him and told him that their liquor supply was down following visits from Kaine and Terri. Let's not miss some of his statements in this regard. He isn't saying this has been going on for 7 years. He said he learned recently from friends this could be an issue. Alcoholics can be very sneaky.
What I'm getting is a picture that Kaine did his thing, Terri did hers and there wasn't a strong US. I wouldn't even hazard to guess how many couples live like this all of their married lives. But, most spouses don't try to take a hit out on their spouse. Just because the sting didn't work doesn't mean it didn't happen. And LE felt strongly enough about the possibility to warn Kaine to get out of that house with K. That tells me there is more to it. Kaine didn't want to believe it. He had to be convinced. He was carrying on like he always had. Until the facts slapped him right between the eyes. He is probably feeling so much guilt and remorse right now for being blind to things that now in retrospect he is suddenly seeing with different eyes.
The fact that Kaine and Desiree said several times during the interview we cannot discuss it, because it has to do with the investigation is a strong indication that indeed they are working with Law Enforcement and some things have been shared.
The Dede thing. I have friends that I have made who have never been to my home. They are people who I work with or have met through business who my husband hears me refer to. He has met some a few times others he has never met. They are work friendships and in that I'm in a profession totally different than most people, he has really nothing in common with these friends. So my husband's answer might be very similar if asked about my friends. There is nothing suspicious about that especially if this is a bud of Terri's from the gym or gardening or met through a mutual friend. Unless I hear more I don't see Kaine not knowing about her as a red flag.
Why won't Kaine tell where he met Terri? I guess it is none of anyone's business. Kaine and Desiree have apprarently talked this over and decided what they are going to share and what they feel has no bearing. I don't see it as a negative. They are not the people that LE has focused on.
This couple has shared more than most victims have shared in any case I have followed. If this couple had not been willing to put their own human failings out there, we might be sitting here with a empty forum with no threads. Because the information we are gleaning is from this couple. Yes some of it personal but more of it is what they know to be true based on their observations. I have a choice to believe it at face value or I can say based on my life experience there has to be more.
But more importantly here, Terri could have at any time issued statements. She could have participated with the family in efforts to cooperate fully with LE no matter what it took out of her. I don't believe for a minute that Kaine told her to be quiet. She is alleged to have tried to have him killed. So now I'm to believe that if Kaine told her not to talk she wouldn't? NOPE. FB, sexting, texting, I think she was doing plenty of talking. Just not about Kyron. Instead she made it all about her, the persecution was was feeling because LE was being forceful with her. She whined about failing LD's. Her cell phone pings. She didn't make any effort to assist in the familys plans each day to get the word out and move mountains to bring Kyron home. IMO if you have nothing to hide you suck it up and make it about Kyron and not all about you. The way Kaine and Desiree have. Yes even having to share your faults.
NOPE instead in walks M. Cook. Terri was once again the center of her own world. Well yes she is. She is the center of a very serious investigation. Her world may just be all about her and only her in the future.
The fact is there is a Grand Jury seated. Do they have evidence enough to indict and then prosecute Terri? We will know soon. And maybe then some facts will come to light.
I hope for Kyron's sake and the sake of the family of victims that have been subjected to the cruelty of taking their child away, that this is soon over for them. They can't take much more from the looks of Desiree yesterday.
ETA the comment about spending time on the crime boards was a self-infliction joke on myself. I think it is time to take my hubby out for a date soon.
