It really does sound like Connie and her grandaughter may had already left. ITA about Sandra's sister babysitting is probably another lie Melissa told the media. It's a head scratcher that she told so many lies that could easily be debunked.
OK, I've gone back in this thread and read some posts that were traveling at warp speed, LOL. This thead was really burning up yesterday..
Someone ( forgive me. I don't remember who) said maybe Melissa killed Sandra because she disliked children.
When I read that, I was thinking " What about her own little daughter?"
Now we read that the little girl M., was not allowed outside, possibly due to allergies ( per Melissa) and is very thin ( also per Melissa).
Then I read about 2 different hospital/ medical bills, at least part of the bills due to medical care received for the child, per the Kansas newspaper.
Next, the grandmother, Judy, takes M. out of the home, either to a church conference type event, a vacation, or to her father's house.. Various reports have had conflicting statements on where Melissa's daughter went.
(Edited to say that this leave-taking appears to have taken place at least 1 day after the murder happened. So, I still do not know what Connie and little M. may have seen, or heard, or what Connie may know.)
Maybe the family didn't want Melissa in any more legal trouble right now from reporting her to CPS, so they made arrangements to take the great GD away from the situation briefly.
So, what does everyone think the liklihood is that Melissa hasn't hurt her own child, too? It's impossible for her to only be mentally ill while around Sandra, or only possibly using drugs when Sandra was present. Whatever's wrong with Melissa, whether a mental disorder or substance abuse or both, her own child has been living with a child killer.
A child killer who also drugged a child in the past, possibly Sandra...
I wish her the best and hope her health improves with some TLC from her father and step mom.
