I find it mind boggling that up until age 53, SC never had a bank account or at least it appears to be that way.

I just don't think anything violent happened in the house. It seems there would have been something more than a single (assumed) missing sheet and a fallen bed slat. Her shoes and purse could have been taken to make it look like she left on her own, but if she'd taken her shoes off, the perp would have had to choose the correct pair - the ones she was wearing in the video - to take with him/her. And if someone entered her house intending to do her harm, they were taking a big risk considering the proximity of the neighbors.

I think she hopped in a car with someone she knew intending to go for a quick something - dinner, drink, coffee, chat, whatever. I also think it's perfectly plausible that she left a door unlocked because she'd left her key set with the mechanic, perhaps not thinking she'd need it. Also, as it was a quick trip to the mechanic's and to the store, she may have had no concerns about leaving the door open briefly during daylight hours. But I'm still not convinced she ever got back into the house after dropping her car off.

Just a thought. Some people leave their shoes at the door when stepping inside.

I thought it was odd that when SC's daughter showed up on Friday for SC to babysit, that there was watermelon in the fridge cut up for the boys visit that day. If I was babysitting on Friday, I would cut up watermelon the morning of or just before eating it so it's fresh. If SC was last in her home Wednesday night or even Thursday, that would mean she cut up the watermelon somewhere between 12- 30 ? hours before hand. There was just a diaper in the trash in the house, no watermelon rind or seeds. Could they have had watermelon that day (Wednesday) and what was in the fridge was left over ?

Laina said the last thing in the trash was diapers, not the only thing. "the last items discarded in her waste basket were my children’s diapers from Wednesday.” A vigil for Sandra Crispo • Whitman-Hanson Express
I don't think it's that odd to have a cut up watermelon in the fridge in August. Especially since her daughter said she doesn't like to cook. She probably planned to snack on it, not just feed it to the kids. Maybe I'm projecting here; I have had cut up watermelon in my fridge for weeks now, one after another, haha.

I am still looking for a timeline. Any little clue that will help. I hear you with the watermelon; once it's cut it's gone in two days. Ice cold, hydrating, delicious, and refreshing.

Thanks detectorhector, the link says SC babysat 3 days a week which I had wondered about. So she might have been their primary sitter and others could have babysat other days.

Pretty sure Laina said she only worked three days a week. 12 hour shifts.

I am surprised given where she works and where she lives that she doesn't work 40 hours or more.

you can see the proximity of her next-door neighbor to her right. You can also see a white house in the background, which would be on a street behind her. Note also her entire lot was only 2400 square feet which is like .05 of an acre, or next to nothing. Basically her lot was the gravel area immediately in front of the house and the parking area, along with a very small semi-fenced area where the boys' trikes were kept. This is a pretty congested area, although there are a lot of trees out in the summer.

Is there a house on her immediate left as well close to her driveway? There's a shadow that looks like it could be a structure, and considering how small her plot of land is, I would guess that's a garage or house that belongs to another neighbor. If so, she was pretty close to several neighbors.

Three 12's are very common with nurses in Boston hospitals. I think they can actually make more than those who work 40 hours thanks to shift differentials. It also cuts time on commuting time into the city every week. I don't know which hospital she worked at but Pembroke to Boston is 45 minutes to an hour with light traffic and can be much worse during rush hours.

I'd never say it was isolated, although the realtor photos make it appear secluded. I've only been there once, and I didn't stick around long because it was a nice day and neighbors were out and about and taking obvious note of my presence.

They've (the neighbors) had a number of new faces checking out the neighborhood since SC disappeared which I am sure they're not pleased with.

Not much chance of running into the neighbor on the left because SC's doors don't face that house so you would have to go out of your way to interact with them. If the shadow on the right is another house, it's doors might not face SC's house either. If the shadow on right is garage, people aren't usually in and out of that.

Even though SC's disappearance is an isloated case (at least it seems so), I would not be moving my mother in SC's home even with video cameras. I'd be making room for her in my home. I don't know how the SIL's mother can even sleep there. Kind of creepy.

Totally agree and cringed when I found that out..of all people, his own mother, but they feel it's fine and safe I'd guess, and the mother would have to think the same. Isolated case or not. Financially understandable and there it is for her as he said she needed a place to stay, who knows for how long and close by.

They're in a bit of a pickle with the house. They can't sell it because it's Sandra's. And they can't leave it vacant without losing homeowner's insurance. So if it burned down and there is no insurance coverage, a house worth 300k (now) would only be worth the land it's on. So it pretty much means they have to rent it out. But the MIL must not be too worried about stranger or neighbor abduction.

I would have rented it out I think. I wonder what the neighbors think with another relative about the same age moving in.

Agreed on the shift differentials, I have a friend who used to be a Charge Nurse in the Cardiac ICU (before moving into hospital management). At that time, he worked 2 10-hours shifts, at night, on the weekends and he made a LOT more money working just 20 hours a week than Charge Nurses working 4 10-hour shifts or those working 5 8-hour shifts.

If LM worked 3 days per week (12 hour shifts) and Thursday was her day off - perhaps she worked Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. She would drop off the kids and SIL would pick them up?

i thought that might be the case too, if she had a set work schedule. LM and hubby might have had car seats in both vehicles other wise if only one set, LM would drop off kids and car seats so hubby could pick them up.

 

[Curiosity1234]

LM"s mother-in-law needs a place to live after her own mother disappears so her mother-in-law moves into her missing mother's home. Another strange twist of fate in this story ?
