They took a suitcase to the beach????
They went to the beach at ALL?
I could see if the sibilngs were older and one family member took them to do something fun for them to get the sibling's minds off the family troubles but to pack up and go to the beach like nothing ever happened? I could see going to a local park to get the young children exercise. But bragging about dinner with friends, days at friend's pool, high tea with friends?......
This sounds like two of the most vain friends I ever had. They used to send out a Christmas and year's wrap up letter bragging about the cars they bought, the trips they took, the promotions he received. This is what their blog feels like. Not like the parents of a missing child.
Now stay with me here. If they killed her or someone abducted her.....wouldn't the misery and the guilt be close to the same? Either way, it would be on the opposite side of the spectrum of what these TWO are showing? In what world is their behavior okay? In what world does that happen and the person doing it think that it is okay? Perhaps in the world of some sociopathic serial killer that goes on with life like nothing happened. Not in the mind of a grieving family member.
I went through a spell of great stress over a job change. A JOB CHANGE. Very stressful. Everyone told me that I should go on with favorite activities so that I didn't get overwhelmed. I kind of agreed and I drove 2.5 hours to North Carolina to my favorite fishing river to fly fish. I stayed about 30 minutes and then drove back home. I didn't feel like fishing, I didn't feel like having fun, I didn't fee like doing anything but getting home and I didn't feel much like that. I couldn't have gone to the beach, to an amusement park, to high tea with friends, to freaking ANYWHERE and that was over a job change that was stressful. These people are COLD calculating people that can go on like nothing happned...except for the occasional update to their website to tell how Mrs. Vain made beat her own personal time in jogging.
Another thing. Their blog is completely devoid of emotion about the loss of their child. If I were updating it as some therapy for myself, it would be filled with "I can hardly function", "I can't eat", "the thought of how scared she is hurts my SOUL".
OMG I want to hit one of them!

p.s. When the movie comes out, Tea Leoni can play Mrs. McCann!
